Wet: dark fruit and dragonsblood resin. WTF? I hate dragonsblood resin, and I'm getting that fakey-plastic cherry scent/pseduo-almond that I get from dragonsblood. Perhaps "red sandalwood" is dragonsblood and sandalwood?
dry: I'm not getting much blackberry from this at all, which is a pity. I get a lovely rich sandalwood and amber, and the mint plays prettily in the background. The blackberry is a sort of generic dark fruitiness to the blend, but could be plum or raisin if I hadn't read the scent notes. I still swear there is dragonsblood in this, but it's fading down.
20 minutes later: ah! Blackberry, my lovely! amber & sandalwood are gorgeous in the back. Very red-gold and sunset-ish and sophisticated. This may be my "dressed up" scent. It's more classic perfume scented, and mature... though quite sexy and warm and engaging. (I still smell some dragonsblood "fake cherry"scent in this, plus the oil is very very DB red, or maybe I am hallucinating.)
ETA: This has become my favorite BPAL after a bit of aging. The blackberry comes out earlier and the red musk is smoother than it was ( I blame it for the plastic-y dragonsblood-esque smell I mentioned above), and the sandalwood... yum! This lasts about five hours on me, though it doesn't have a ton of throw. So sexy! The DH loves it too.
