Through careful solvent extraction, this aromatic treasure reveals a sophisticated bouquet of warm, honeyed sweetness interwoven with delicate herbaceous tones, subtle tobacco nuances, and grounding woody depths.

This multi-dimensional character makes it an invaluable asset for perfumers seeking to impart warmth, authenticity, and rustic elegance to their creations.
