Another beautifully complex BPAL! Long Eared Owl has a very smoky, woody opening, with a tannnic tint of dark purple plum skin. I'm also noticing a quality that seems quite clearly "frosted" to me, although I'm unsure how to describe it in any other way. Softened, maybe? That's not quite right. It feels *frosted*!

 

I think both the oakwood and the plum are very tannic, and the plum really deepens more and more throughout wear, then finally some shy violet starts to bloom. They rapidly drop their shyness and really *bloom*. The violet is cool, plush, a bit woody and a bit fruity. The plum + violet + smoky woods are really beautiful together, it feels like each note deepens and brings out more nuances of every other. I get nuances of berry, leather, dried fruit, and hay. The smokiness recedes a lot after the first hour, and it becomes a bit more delicate but somehow deep, and somehow feels very *purple*. 

 

It's a beautiful blend, and I might just need a bottle before it comes down. I feel like I'm not quite doing it justice, but I noticed it had no reviews and simply couldn't let that stand when it's only available for another month. If you know you like complex BPALs and these notes speak to you, snap it up!
