doomsday_disco Report post Posted February 5 A deep, animalic whisper: wild patchouli root, fossilized amber, russet musk, clove bud, juniper needles, hay absolute, and earthy oud with a glimmer of yellow crystalline lemon peel. Frederic Remington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flumphlord Report post Posted March 7 I picked a decant of this up because I'm a patchouli fan and wanted to experience how BPAL does oud. In the vial: Intensely animalic at first whiff, but when I come back for a second pass I get a little bit of lemon dancing on top. Wet on skin: Surprisingly bright and lemony. Tart, with the bite of the juniper and clove backing it up, but not cleanery. I’m sure I’ll get more wolf in the dry down, but for now it’s mostly moonlight. Dry: As expected, the lemon gradually fades and allows the darker notes to come through. It all coalesces into a dirty, animalic musk where it’s difficult for me to pick out the individual notes. The hay and oud in the description made me think it might go in a barnyard direction, but it leans much more incensey on me. I’m actually a little disappointed in that I was hoping for more earthiness and hay, but admittedly it’s probably more wearable for more people as is. Post-workout: It’s already intensely musky. My natural odor doesn’t really make a dent. I think this scent executes the concept it’s going for really well, but it’s not particularly me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roseus Report post Posted Thursday at 08:35 AM (edited) This starts off very juniper forward on me, crisp cool evergreenness with a bit of chewy amber underneath. As it dries the juniper fades back and I get more patchouli and musk. It's soft, earthy, fuzzy. The juniper and lemon just streak through a bit.
