Noche Buena
BPAL description: The light, uplifting incense of the Misa de Noche Buena, purple sage, and a vibrant bouquet of plumeria, chrysanthemum, tuberose, Angel’s Trumpet, Mexican tiger lily, dahlia, and azucenas.
In the bottle: Herbal-floral, slightly sweet - definitely sage coming through.
Wet: Quite light. There's something in here that reminds me of Snow White, and it's the same thing I don't like. Sort of a green astringent wintry smell. The sweet note is definitely the plumeria.
Dry: Sage, plumeria, now the LILY - yay, and still that astringent note. Other florals too, including a lovely spicy not reminiscent of carnation - I think chrysanthemum. I'm still not getting any incense. The tuberose has gone a bit soapy on me, but it's not terrible as it can be.
Summary: Complex herbal-floral. It's amazing how this oil morphs, revealing its constituents over time!
