Oh, this is absolutely beautiful and etherial. On me, it's mostly a sweet resin-y amber and ambergris, with a wisp of floral. I'm someone who generally does not like floral notes, but this blends very subtly in. On initial application, I thought it was a very close-to-the-skin scent, but as it dries down the throw is wafting further around me. Very glad I eventually went for a blind bottle of Zorya P.! I love BPAL's ambergris note...I'll definitely have to try pairing this with Hag Gray hair gloss (which, now that I look up the notes again, has both the ambergris and a white tobacco). So if you liked Hag Gray, I think you likely will also enjoy Zorya P.

On me, this is mostly a soft, powdery apricot...juicy but not too rich, with a hint of the citrus and lavender (adding a tiny herbal bite). The scent wears close to my skin. The husband said it smells more "like a traditional perfume" than most of the BPAL I wear, I suspect he's picking up the chypre/amber.

This is beautiful! It's sweet, sugary, and very creamy. In the bottle and when wet, it's very nutty and coconutty, heavy on the buttery macadamias...going back and forth between macadamia and coconut. As it dries down, it loses some of the strong nutty/coconut scent. After a couple of hours, it's mostly a creamy marshmallow (with a hint of coconut). Very low throw, stays close to my skin. On me, the drydown is similar to that of Reflected Vulva (though without the slightly floral sweet pea note). I'm glad that I went for a blind bottle on this one!
