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 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!!
