BPAL review - Midnight Kiss

Midnight Kiss
Eternal desire, unquenchable passion: red musk, cocoa absolute, Nepalese amber, red sandalwood, aged patchouli, nicotiana, and blood wine.

In the bottle - Wow, this is so complicated. At first I got the amber and maybe a little patchouli, then the musk came forward, followed by a weird combo of amber/chocolate/grapes. None of the scents really stood out strongly on their own - they were all swirled together into something crazy, twisted around each other like stripes in a freaky hippy candy cane.
Wet - SANDALWOOD. Then, underneath that, amber (which I really like on its own). The two of them combine into a cheap incense sort of smell, overpowering any of the other scents.
Dry - Now it smells like amber that had a horrible accent and got scorched. Burned amber is not a good smell. I would not recommend it to a friend.
Later - Much later, the scent is a warm amber with an undertone of sweetness. I still don't love it, but I like it a lot better than I did before. It's the sort of scent that would go along with a hemp tank top and a patchwork skirt, with braided sandals and sun tea.
