Toad
BPAL description: Dapper cologne, scorched waistcoat, a bit of pipe tobacco, and motor oil.
In the bottle: Light, bright yellow oil. Clean, fresh, and spicy. A hint of aftershavy, almost soapy cologne, a metallic tang like the one in Galvanic Goggles, and that sweet, smoky-spicy tobacco.
Wet: Less cologney-fresh, more mellow, subdued, and refined. There's a smoothness here, maybe some type of polished wood, and the metal is not sharp but rich and shining. The pipe tobacco is almost cinnamony, and only vaguely smoky.
Dry: The spice has amped a lot, and it's definitely cinnamon, and I some sweet, woody clove as well. I'm still getting that polished wood note, but the metal and cologne are sadly much fainter.
Later: Musk comes out in a major way, along with some smoky-earthy vetiver - that oddly does smell a bit like burnt cloth, with a strange sweetness.
Summary: Faint, sweet spices and mossy, smoky vetiver, with light tobacco and polished wood, and a animalistic musk. The metal and cologne notes are mostly gone after a few hours, sadly.
I think my female skin chemistry may be ruining this rather masculine blend. I'll hang on to the half imp because I love Toads and maybe one will be my prince. :D
