The intoxicating perfume of heady incenses wafting on warm desert breezes. Arabian spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia.
Venerable Victorian Tea Rose… twisted, blackened and emboldened with wickedness.
The crisp, clean scent of green tea touched with lemon verbena and honeysuckle.
On to Pieria he stepped from the upper air, and swooped down upon the sea, and then sped over the wave like a bird, the cormorant, which in quest of fish over the dread gulfs of the unresting sea wets its thick plumage in the brine. In such wise did Hermes ride upon the multitudinous waves. But when he had reached the island which lay afar, then forth from the violet sea he came to land, and went his way until he came to a great cave, wherein dwelt the fair-tressed nymph; and he found her within. A great fire was burning on the hearth, and from afar over the isle there was a fragrance of cleft cedar and juniper, as they burned; but she within was singing with a sweet voice as she went to and fro before the loom, weaving with a golden shuttle. Round about the cave grew a luxuriant wood, alder and poplar and sweet-smelling cypress, wherein birds long of wing were wont to nest, owls and falcons and sea-crows with chattering tongues, who ply their business on the sea. And right there about the hollow cave ran trailing a garden vine, in pride of its prime, richly laden with clusters. And fountains four in a row were flowing with bright water hard by one another, turned one this way, one that. And round about soft meadows of violets and parsley were blooming. There even an immortal, who chanced to come, might gaze and marvel, and delight his soul; and there the messenger Argeiphontes stood and marvelled.
Crisp sea air, kelp, and climbing vines, flame-singed cedarwood and juniper branches, cypress boughs, alder wood, violets, selino, parsley, glistritha, and white sage.

Wet: fresh, floral, GREEN, a lil soapy, very Spring
Just Dry: less soapy, green and floral more balanced, and yes, water
Later: Balanced, spring water, green florals. Reminds me of a Monet painting a bit. But I’ve never been to Amsterdam.

Love this scent. I keep coming back to it over and over. A light, wistful fragrance that reminds me of my trip to Amsterdam.

I enjoyed this scent very much, it lifted my spirits on a ho-hum day. It had a soapy smell at first and then dried down to smell like lilacs on my skin. Unfortunately it didn’t last as long as some of the other scents I have tried from BPAL. But then I have the pleasure of reapplying it again.

Light, clean, dewy spring florals with a hint of green grass. Dries down to a watery, clean, light floral. Nothing unpleasant, but I don’t love this one either.

In the bottle, Amsterdam smells crisp and wet, almost soapy. On my skin, it remains crisp, but the sweetness of the flowers comes out further. It’s a very cool, springy scent. It makes me see morning sunlight, clotheslines full of flapping laundry, and young, dew-covered grass. This would be a five, except that it’s disappointingly short-lived.

Clean and crisp and relaxing. Very subtle, very feminine.

I’m giving Amsterdam to one of my bridesmaids as a gift and I’m sort of regretting it because I’m so drawn to this scent I want to keep it for myself. It’s has a minimalist modern edge to it, but still pretty. Like a single potent flower in a minimalist crystal vase. I really smell the peony which you don’t see often in perfumes. It would be a nice scent for someone that liked florals but didn’t want to be predictable.
