Woodsmoke
The note presents a complex, multifaceted aroma, initially sharp and almost acrid upon introduction, quickly mellowing into a rich, resinous warmth. It is primarily dry, with an almost particulate texture that suggests the lingering ash and embers of a spent fire. Its olfactory profile ranges from the pungent, tarry sweetness of birch tar to the dry, woody aroma of smoldering oak or cedar, often with nuances of leathery, phenolic, and slightly spicy facets. The intensity can be commanding, demanding attention as a central accord, or it can be a subtle whisper, a ghost of a memory woven into a broader tapestry. It possesses a moderate to strong projection, often extending its embrace significantly. Longevity is exceptional; it is a quintessential base note, clinging to the skin and fabric for many hours, evolving into a softer, more comforting warmth over time. It typically anchors a composition, providing depth, warmth, and a primal grounding.
