lizabelle Report post Posted March 1, 2017 I am so glad I tracked down a bottle of this! I, frankly, had no idea what ambergris even was before BPAL, let alone what it smelled like. After a few months and many imp tests, it's become a favorite note of mine. Enter this beauty. It starts with a fresh sea air kind of quality, salty but not obnoxiously so. Definitely a marine scent, but there's also borderline-floral and fresh laundry tones that occasionally weave in. I also do get brief moments of a candied citrus--maybe candied lemon peels? Somehow every time I smell BPAL's ambergris notes I'm reminded of salt-coated driftwood, which is the image that's coming to mind with this. It's very soft, very complex, completely wearable on its own but I bet it would layer beautifully. I don't find this to be overly masculine, more unisex and likely a morpher on each person, but ymmv of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
