In the bottle: Not a strong scent. Green and herbal. Wet on Skin: A masculine scent that I don't feel any less feminine while wearing. It's comfortable and cozy, like wearing your boyfriends shirt to bed at night and smelling him as you drift off. After an Hour: The smell has become much sweeter. Most of the lovely green herbal scent has has faded to the background. I think I'm amping the labdanum in odd way. I smell like honey mead. It's not unpleasant, but so many scents are more appealing. I think I'm going to swap this. Alas, the honey mead smell morphed into ... ferret. While ferrets are perfectly lovely creatures, I don't really want to smell like one. I really liked the initial scent, but this just doesn't work with my chemistry. Oh well. Rating: 2 of 5

In the bottle: Spearmint Gum, which unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of. Wet on Skin: Thin mint cookies and the slightest hint of green tea. Refreshing, but somehow not very me. A little too sweet. Probably a swapper. After an Hour: Vanilla and soft green tea. No trace of mint at all. Lovely. Rating: 3.5 of 5 Went from a medium throw to a weak throw fairly quickly (and as the scent improved ) , but is still detectable to me after about 8 hours. This isn't the scent I was expecting, but I'm new to BPAL and still learning what notes work on my skin. It is subtle and sweet, and more... innocent than I normally like. I was going to swap this scent, but it grew on me as it aged. I'll probably never buy a 5ml, but I'll try to keep a decant around.
