Blood Moon 2005
BPAL description: The feral scent of the heat of the chase, deep woods, undulating musks, brushed by forest herbs, crushed grains, and touched by blood-dimmed lunar oils.
Sniffed: Orange oil. Sweet and spicy! Cinnamon, for sure...a little extra-fruity dragon's blood, definitely the slightly nutty grains (reminds me of Dana O'Shea), and some red musk, I think. Maybe some dark , rich wood like mahogany or teak in the distance?
Wet: Cinnamon, red musk, nutty grains - this is actually pretty darn FOODY, and reminds me also of Snake Oil/Snake Pit scents. I'm pretty sure there is some sweet black musk too, which on me is also almost foody at times. The dragon's blood is very light, giving only a tinge of soapy air freshener. Still not getting any herbs...
Dry: The cinnamon doesn't amp into red hots; it's balanced and well-behaved, but I still don't like it. This has actually faded alot even though I applied it liberally, and it reminds me of cheap potpourri now, with sort of sickly sweet black musk/nutty grain layer, and a hint of soap that makes my nose itch.
Summary: Sweet musk, nutty grains, light cinnamon. I do really think some teak, as well, though it never fully emerges, but teases throughout. The red settles a lot, behaving surprisingly well on my skin. Low throw and fades a lot.
