BPAL sniffing notes 15 - Brisingamen

Brisingamen - The amber necklace of Freyja, Norse Goddess of Love, Sex, Attraction and Fruitfulness. Her magnificent necklace was bought from four Dwarves (Alfrik, Berling, Dvalin and Grer) at the price of four nights of her passion. When Brisingamen graces your throat, no man can resist your charms. A glittering mantle of rich golden notes: five ambers, soft myrtle and apple blossom, myrtle, and carnation.

In the vial, it has a very resinous scent. Only appropriate for an amber necklace, I'd say. The color note is very much what it says - amber.

Wet on my skin, it's got an odd, chemically scent underlying what smells like amber and carnation. I'm not getting anything of myrtle or apple blossom, though.

10-15 minute dry-down - Ok, the chemically note has died off and now I'm getting mostly amber. Not unpleasant.

1 hour dry-down - The carnation is almost all I can smell and it isn't liking me much. Starting to get headachy and that itchy feeling in the back of my throat. *sigh* I had high hopes for this one too.
