BPAL--Silk Road



A panoply of cultural treasures, spanning the herbs, flowers, oils and balms of the Romans, the Byzantines, the Mediterranean, the Levant, Northern China, Eastern Europe, Iran, the Bulgar-Kypchak, Mesopotamia, the Crimean Peninsula, Anatolia, Antioch, and North Africa.

In the bottle: I don't know how to describe it. Reminscent of Wolf's Heart, with the same bitter herbiness to it, but softer, sweeter, more floral perhaps. Complex and lovely.

Wet: Mmm, this is so nice. And still hard to describe--herbs and incense and flowers. There's a bitter twang underneath that's very sophisticated.

Dry: Much like Wolf's Heart. And I love Wolf's Heart. Must try them side by side sometime to pinpoint the differences between them. This is a colder and subtler scent, I think.
