BPAL description: --

In the bottle: Light fruity floral, maybe some citrus - the zesty sort, so possibly grapefruit. A bit green and planty, possibly grassy. Overall light and fresh.

Wet: More floral, very springlike. Lilac? Tulip? A hint of powder, but not unpleasantly. I'm guessing that citrus is grapefruit, which is as usual very light on me. And there is definitely some grass. This has a soapy edge, and reminds me a bit of Amsterdam. A rainy sort of scent.

Dry: Wow, this is the grassiest bpal scent ever! Could it be grass SN? No, there's still some very present springy florals. Definitely some lily, I recognize the one (or one of them) from Black Lily, and other light feminine ones. It's a wee bit soapier, but not really powdery, so that's fine. Citrus holds! Faintly, but amazingly still there.

Later: Whoa, hello musk! Very nice musk! White musk, perhaps - I'm getting a Kitsune-Tsuki feel here. It's not super strong, but it really grounds this rather ephemeral blend. Grass is holding, flowers and citrus too. This has gained a creaminess too, which makes me think maybe daffodil is one of the florals.

Summary: Very light grass, grapefruit, and florals (lily and daffodil, amongst others) with a light musk base. Little morphing other than the musk emerging over time and the citrus holds. Feminine, vernal, refreshing, aquatic. Dismal throw but good lasting power.

I bought this unsniffed off ebay with vague citrus note description, so a pleasant surprise!
