BPAL: Anactoria

Apr 19, 2008 18:31



BPAL SAYS: Golden amber, white honey, red currant, daemonorops, kush, and Arabian musk.

In the bottle: Amber and something bright and herbal, almost like lemongrass.

Wet on skin: Amber and a light, sweet note. I suspect it's the honey, but it's mingled with that same herbal note I smelled in the bottle. From what others have said on the BPAL forum, I'm guessing this is the kush. There's no sign of the musk, or of the red currant, either. As I've never smelled daemonorops before, I have no idea if that is detectable or not.

Drydown: Honey and amber still. The herbal note has gone dry, like grass in summer.

Dry: Soft, golden amber, pale honey infused with dry, sweet herbs, with the lightest whiff of musk underscoring it all. NICE.

ETA: Three hours later, the herbs and honey have faded and what's left is musk overlaid with amber.
