BPAL description: --

In the bottle: Light mint green oil. Sweet and piney; cool, green, fresh. Woodsy and makes me think of christmas trees.

Wet: Rather thick oil. Amazingly sweet (almost fruity), also quite mentholic. It's still very pine tree. Also makes me think of firs, with the sweetness. Sappy, sticky, and foresty in feel.

Dry: Very slow drying. Even sweeter, definitely berries - juicy and ripe, blackberryish. The pine is still pretty mentholic though, as well as resiny, from pine sap. Quite cooling, almost minty.

Later: This reminds me a lot of Jolasveinar, the sweet fruity pine, but while this has some earthy and resiny notes, it doesn't have that dirt/soil note.

Summary: Mentholic, almost sharp christmassy pine and fir with sap and earthy resin undertones, and a sweet, fruit touch of ripe, dark berries. Unisex.

I don't like pine. Ever.
