BPAL: Bewitched

[jinian]

BEWITCHED -- Deep, luscious green and berry scents that evoke images of woodland witchcraft and the raw power of nature: blackberry, sage, green tea, wild berries and dark musk.

Vial: Ooh. Very thoroughly blended, but I can smell sage in the nice complex sweet smell.
Wet: A little sharp and resinous, with the astringent parts of berry coming out next.
Dry: Berry and light tea, and something very aromatic but unidentifiable. Then very berry surrounded by a chorus. Eventually tea, teeny berries, and what I think must be the musk, which I like here. (Maybe dark is good in musk? I didn't like Vechernyaya's three white ones at all.)

Because I am a pervert, I like the residue even better after putting on my weird jasmine-mint lotion.

You're so cute.

I'm unable to find out what "white musk" is either. Well, there are a lot of products with that word pair in their names, but what does it mean generically? My best guess is that it's what The Body Shop calls their musk scent derived from the musk rose, which happens to be white; and other people have followed suit. No actual deer testicles.

Oh, good, I hope it works well on me, too, since I got it in my latest order and haven't tried it yet.

It would be nice to know the difference between the various musks they use. It doesn't seem as though white musk can be derived from musk rose, because everything with any rose in it (including a couple with musk rose) turns to powder on me, yet Katharina, with white musk, stayed nice. This is assuming that my skin chemistry is consistent, though, which it's quite possible it's not.
