The Zieba Tree
BPAL description: A dreamlike, listless scent, misty and hazed, with wisps of white sandalwood, eddying musks the colors of eventide, shimmering pale resins, davana, lemon blossom, orange blossom, and white peach.
In the bottle: Very pale yellow oil. Clean, fresh and bright. Lightly sweet and floral, with beautiful citrus. Sandalwood provides a slightly sharp, dry edge, but pleasantly so. This is both aquatic and airy, very much misty, and I get a bit of ozone.
Wet: More tart citrus, such gorgeous lemon blossom! The orange blossom is very light, and I don't get any white peach (usually syrupy on me). The sandalwood is more cologney, less sharp. More resins, but they're very light. This reminds me of a tarter/brighter Ether.
Dry: Amping, wow! That lemon blossom is strong, but not too strong, and the sweet, floral davana has come out more, giving this a sort of pink feel. I can detect a tiny hint of peach if I sniff very closely. Musks and resins have majorly emerged, yum!
Later: This just gets more and more tart-citrusy over time - not in that Lemon Pledge of Doom way, but a very natural, light, juicy way. Musks and resins have amped further. Davana holding - the main sweetening agent - still very little peach. Sandalwood is a bit dusty.
Summary: Very bright and refreshing, but also airy and resiny in a comforting manner. Juicy lemon blossom, resins, and holy sexy MUSK dominate in the end, with a bit of sweet davana and dry-sharp sandalwood. Unisex, though it's great on me. Good throw & lasting power.
Definitely a bottle buy. I am so impressed by these new RG scents!
