zankoku_zen Report post Posted August 28, 2023 A pale shaft of shimmering amber blackcurrant moonlight penetrating a blood red conflagration of crimson musk, woodsmoke, black pepper, daemonorops draco, and charred red oud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
white_jenna63 Report post Posted September 16, 2023 Welp, I forgot that daemonorops draco was dragon's blood resin, so that was a surprise! This is a strong red and black scent. On me, it was very heavy on the dragon's blood and red musk, to the point where I had trouble picking out the other notes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucchesa Report post Posted January 5 (edited) I’m a tiny bit puzzled why I chose to buy this decant. Dragon’s blood and red oudh are rarely a success on me, and red musk is touch and go. Black currant, amber and woodsmoke sounds nice, though, and they are. Like white_jenna63, though, I mainly get dragons blood and fruity red musk. There’s a bit of pepper and a nice backdrop of amber, but they’re definitely secondary. I hope the woodsmoke lasts longer as it ages as the early phase of this with the smokiness apparent is my favorite. Edit 11/13/24: Ooh, this has aged really nicely!!! I'm still not getting much woodsmoke but the whole melange is beautiful and seems kind of quintessentially BPAL. Edited November 14 by Lucchesa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
