This is very fresh and bright--to me it smells like grapefruit.  Surprising, but quite nice.

I'm a big fan of BPAL's ambergris note, and I sadly missed out on the Single Note when it came out. Happily, this one is very heavy on the ambergris, and exactly what I was hoping for. 

 

This accord is fresh and juicy, salty, and a little sweet. It's hard to tell where the ambergris ends and the lichen begins, but I think I detect a bit of oakmossy, subtle woody-plantiness. Definitely wearable on its own, though it's got pretty quiet throw. I have the Salt and Sand hair gloss on to test, and while that one isn't my thing (too soapy-aquatic), it definitely is improved with this Sturgeon Moon perfume accompanying it!

Brighter and fresher than I anticipated, I do believe I detect grapefruit as well. It gives the impression of bright blue pools rather than deep murky waters. On my skin it gets a touch salty. There's a sort of mossy, clean vegetal thing happening as it dries down as well. Very pretty, it makes me think of be sun sparkling on water.

The lichen absolutely dominates this one on me. Very clean, green, juicy, with a touch of sweet-salty musk from the ambergris. Pretty, but I hope the ambergris will come forward with aging.
