Запах

The oil opens with warm, umami, damp and smoky notes, with a salty, animalic undercurrent. A few hours into the dry down it becomes a softer, peppery, guaiacwood-like rare woods aroma, with the slightest ember of smoke remaining. The smell is also described as very sweet and woodsy. It is further described as deep, earthy and woody.
