Murder of Crows
BPAL description: Sleek iris and verbena, grey amber, benzoin, davana, and glossy herbs.
In the bottle: Light gold oil. Herbal, woody, with heady floraliris, citrusy verbena, and sharp-soapy grey amber.
Wet: I really dislike grey amber, it's very dusty and powdery-sharp. The davana here is very light, adding mostly only a faint sweetness. Verbena is also exceptionally mild. Benzoin gives this a nice green resiny depth. Iris is heady and soapy.
Dry: Way more floral; definitely some violet as others have noted, and sadly the powdery kind on me. Slightly sweet iris + grey amber powdery SOAP, reall awfully strong and sickening and like ancient ladies dipped in talcum powder and then in floral soap and...omg, sink. Thankfully only moderate throw, but damn stuff won't wash off.
