BPAL: CARLIN
CARLIN 2009 (LE, Halloweenie): (Company says: Black sage, ivy-twined rowan, thistle, snapdragon, heather, gorse, fumitory, and anise.)

In bottle: Pleasantly crushed greenery in tone. I don’t know most of these notes to tell which thing does what, but it’s right up my alley. It is very faintly floral, but not in a conventional or off-putting way. Wet: Medium green, a touch less crushed, as if some of the plants are now reading as fresh. The floral is so understated as to be nearly undetectable. The anise is more ghost than substance. Nice, very nice. There are both heavier and lighter scents in my crushed greenery collection. This fills a hole I didn’t even know I had. It’s very bright and fresh, with lovely definition between notes. Dry: A touch powdery and drier sheet like and very slightly feminine on the dry down, mostly because the florals come out a bit more. It retains its richness however. It’s more a matter of the balance shifting within the scent than a radical change.
