Reminiscent of hothouse blooms on a humid night, ripe, but touched with decay. Sweet honeysuckle and jasmine with a hint of lemon and spice.
Luminescent, glowing, and otherworldly: green mandarin, neroli, honeydew, white amber, guava, freesia, white and green musks hovering over desert scrub, smashed wood, and the dry, biting scent of night air over the Groom Lake salt flats.
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o’er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow
“Shadow,” said he,
“Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?”
“Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,”
The shade replied
“If you seek for Eldorado!”
Copal resin incense blowing through halls of dazzling gold.
A lazy, warm deep green scent with a thick aquatic undertone: Spanish moss, evergreen and cypress with watery blue-green notes and an eddy of hothouse flowers and swamp blooms.

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.
