The Dole of the King's Daughter

BPAL Description - Red roses, blood-flecked lilies, upturned earth, yew branches, and blood mingled with river sand.

Initial sniff from bottle - Wet green. [No, it doesn't make logical sense, but it's what I got.]

Wet on skin - Sandy, aquatic, with a light floral smell. Begins to unfold as it dries down.

Dry on skin - There is still the lily and fresh aquatic, but the rose and earthiness really begin to appear as it dries more. Overall, there is a pleasant, earthy dampness that is complimented by the lily and rose florals.

Staying Power & Throw - Good. This is the kind of scent that I think it would be easy to overdo, and then it would be quite overpowering, but used sparingly on the pulse points, it's lovely.

Overall Opinion - It's very nice. While it isn't enough to make me want to go and buy another bottle, it is a good scent for the damp that is March.
