    One of my all time favourites!

     

    In the imp - Dark, sinister, brooding. Spicy incense.

     

    Wet - A lovely mix of patchouli and myrrh with the dryness of the orris.

     

    Dry - Whiffs of 'parmaviolets' (ye olde UK sweetie) - very nostalgic & this is the reason orris is now one of my favourite notes. The patchouli is gorgeous and not overwhelming.

     

    10/10 - a definate keeper. One for gloomy moods. (in a nice way)

     

    Season - Winter

    My first review although I wrote this on paper (yes, paper!) months ago.

     

    This was my first ever sniff of BPAL....what a one to start with!!

    I loved the description & 'real' outdoorsey scents are one of my favourites.

     

    Initial thoughts - Pine & earth

     

    Wet on skin - Pine and lime (lime??), where did the lime spring from? That's not a forest smell! Calm down, this is BPAL.

     

    Drydown - There is a lovely sweetness developing, berry-like but more forest berries than foody berries.

    After a couple of minutes the pine has calmed right down but still getting the occasional whiff of disinfectant :P

     

    After an hour - Nice throw of woodland berries, very sweet on wrist. Earthy notes balance this well.

     

    Incidently I find horses like this scent - go figure!!
