The Miller's Daughter
BPAL description: Spun gold, tear-soaked straw, and rose-infused amber.
In the bottle: Bright sunshine-yellow oil. Rose! And something planty, maybe the straw? It's quite light. There's a sharp tang that could be the gold or the tears - a bit sour.
Wet: Same. Sort of sour rose. The tang seems more metallic, the planty note a bit more herbal. Powdery edge - the amber, maybe?
Dry: Rose amping! And I think the sour note might actually be citrus in some form? Or possibly it's white rose, which is sort of tart on my skin?
Later: It's smoothing out, as more amber emerges to give it warmth and depth. A bit soapy, probably from the aquatic tears. I'm not getting salt.
Summary: Oddly warm yet tangy-sour rose and powdery amber with a hint of soap. I don't ever really get a strong metallic or aquatic feel, alas. Good throw & lasting power.
