Brom Bones
BPAL description: The butchest, manliest of musks covered in well-worn leather.
Sniffed: Peachy-golden oil. Cologne (sort of green-floral and a little sharp), musk, and leather. Surprisingly fresh.
Wet: Way more leather, leather overload! It is not the leather of De Sade, but neither is it my beloved Dead Man's Hand/Quincy Morris leather note, though it's much closer to the latter - it still has a bit of a sharp edge. It's worn but not well-worn; it hasn't been fully softened yet. I also get a sort of almost anisey spicy-herbal-sharp note too? And delicious sexy manly musk.
Dry: Going sort of dry/dusty, and there's an almost citrusy note? The leather note is beginning to resemble worn leather more, but it still lacks the smooth refinement. The musk is quite sweet, maybe it's black musk at least in part? It has that almost edible foody quality.
Summary: I take it back - this has plenty of sharp, chemical-powdery De Sade style leather. It has the other leather and some dry dusty woods, medicinal herbs and rich musk - but too much De Sade for me. It could maybe work on a man so I'll hold on to my imp. Strong throw and longevity.
