BPAL description: Black plum, champaca flower, dark musk, patchouli, narcissus and scorched sandalwood.
In the bottle: Dark amber oil. Dark and dirty patchouli, sharp narcissus, smoky dry sandalwood. Hints of sweet musk and heady champaca, but not enough to redeem the over smoky dark heaviness.
Summary: The fruity-sweet plum and lovely rich champaca flower come out on my skin, and the musk amps sexily. The patchouli softens a bit, but is still too dirty-rooty. The sharpness of the narcisuss and the burnt dusty sandalwood are unbearable, though.
Nicer than I would have imagined, but not my style. Well blended nonetheless.
