BPAL description: Dried roses, rose leaf, Spanish moss, oakmoss and deep brown earth.
In the bottle: Dark, rich soil, wet green leaves, and a hint of lush rose.
Wet: Fresh, fruity, almost citrusy rose - reminds me of Rose Red, especially combined with the same dewy greenery. Slightly soapy edge. Still loads of dirt.
Dry: Some oakmoss emerging, and the dirt is fading a bit. The rose is softer, but still crisp. On the whole this is much more muted, washed out.
Later: I have a friend who gets a mushroom note from this, and I can see where she is coming from. There is a musty note that's not soil - maybe the spanish moss?
Summary: Lush fruity rose - but a soft kind - with musty spanish moss, light oakmoss, and slightly sharp, rich dirt. A gentle scent.
It deserved a skin test. :D Still not my thing, but really much nicer than just sniffed.
