The note unfolds with a profound, almost primal woody character, distinct from the sharper, more common cedars. It presents an initial rush of damp, aged wood, reminiscent of a forest floor after a heavy rain, intertwined with a subtle, yet persistent, camphoraceous lift that hints at its resinous heart. As it evolves, it reveals layers of earthy dampness, green moss, and a mineralic coolness, like the stone beneath an ancient root system. There's a profound sense of antiquity, almost a dusty, dry warmth that coexists with its initial dewy freshness. Its texture is rugged yet refined, akin to weathered bark smoothed by centuries. Projection is moderate but persistent, clinging to the skin with quiet authority, gradually deepening into a warm, contemplative hum. It performs primarily as a robust heart note, quickly settling into a long-lasting, grounding base note, contributing immense longevity and a mystical depth to compositions.
