BPAL description: Ocean water, hyacinth petals, star jasmine, and fir.

In the bottle: Extremely pale yellow oil. Sweetly floral, aquatic, and woodsy. Hyacinth, ocean and fir stand out. Clean and fresh yet feminine.

Wet: Saltier, and a little soapy-heady as the jasmine emerges. Not as sweet or light, as the hyacinth immediately begins to fade. The fir is a touch mentholic, a bit piney.

Dry: Okay, this is settling. The jasmine is there, and a bit heavy and soapy, but bearably. The fir is strong but not pinesol. The ocean is light but delicious, as is the moderately present sweet hyacinth.

Later: The jasmine still lends a soapy edge, but it's not as heady. The fir is just nicely woodsy, and that hyacinth is so sweet and delicious and fresh. The wonderful salty aquatic note melds everything nicely.

Summary: Sweet, glorious hyacinth and deep, cool fir with salty ocean waves and slightly soapy jasmine. Clean, a little wild, and only just barely feminine. Low throw and lasting power.

It's pretty lovely when the jasmine calms down (and would be amazing without it), and it'd be even better in a scent locket. Quite possibly a bottle buy.
