Баньян
Green, humid, rootbound. Gajumaru smells like standing inside a banyan's aerial root curtain after rain -- damp bark, crushed fig leaf, and the warm vegetal breath of tropical wood.

У парфумерії
Gajumaru/banyan is an atmospheric accord functioning as a green-woody heart note. It carries the microclimate inside a tropical banyan tree: fig leaves, damp bark, humid air. Built from fig leaf absolute or gamma-octalactone, geosmin (petrichor/earth), galbanum, cis-3-hexenol, and warm wood bases. The note works in tropical, green, and naturalistic forest compositions as a place-evocation rather than a single-ingredient reference.
