BPAL: Dance of Death
BPAL SAYS: "Dry, bone-white orris, black musk, serpentine patchouli and our murkiest myrrh."
IN THE BOTTLE: "Hi! My name is patchouli!"
WET ON SKIN: Intense flash of patchouli.
DRYDOWN: Patchouli still, but the orris and myrrh are coming out to play.
OVERALL: While patchouli remains the strongest note, the orris and myrrh eventually bring it to heel and don't allow it to overpower all else. This is a night wind in the high desert, dry and sharp. I like it enough to want a full 5ml bottle.
