The note, often an abstract and refined interpretation rather than a specific tree, unfurls as a remarkably clean, smooth, and luminous woody aroma. It possesses an almost translucent quality, devoid of the heavy resins or earthy dampness found in darker woods. Its texture is incredibly polished, sometimes with a subtle, creamy warmth, or a crisp, almost airy coolness. It can exhibit a delicate dryness, akin to freshly sawn, pale timber, or a sophisticated softness that borders on powdery musk. It rarely overwhelms, instead offering a gentle yet persistent presence. As a heart and especially a base note, it contributes exceptional longevity and a refined, subtly diffusive projection, creating an enveloping aura of understated elegance. Its evolution is typically linear, providing a consistent, clean woody anchor throughout the fragrance's life, often enhancing the natural skin scent.
