Hi everyone! I placed my very first order from BPAL based on the reviews right here of this particular scent. I've only dabbled in colognes and scents in the past, and I'm still quite new to the whole idea.
Now, I was so excited when my bottle arrived I opened it in the office of the apartment complex I live in. One of the ladies there said it smelled like a cleaner, which was slightly discouraging, but I had read enough here to understand that bottle scents do not a BPAL experience make.
When I got home, I applied just a tiny, tiny amount to a wrist and reveled in the woody, slightly vanilla smell. As it dried, I caught the tobacco and what I'm supposing is the oak and teak. Smoky, expansive stuff.
I'm fairly confident that I've not come across anything quite so awesome before. I'm interested to get some reaction the next time I'm out and about. I'm quite pleased!
Edit: It really puts me in mind of Robert Frost:
'The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.'
