Wet on skin: Very clean and cold smelling, and still a bit masculine. A bit more aquatic/herbal than I usually like. In the bottle: Heavily herbal, a little masculine - very cool smelling. Preconceived notions: As a fan of musks, I figured I'd like this one, and didn't let the "animalistic" description scare me off (to me, musks are rarely animally - instead they usually smell like very clean humans). But it's still a surprise every time I put it on because it's so different, and special. Later: I wanted to edit to say that the only downside is that the scent dissipates fairly quickly on my skin, after a couple hours. This one really blows me away and has shot right into my top ten. I have to admit I ordered quite a lot of this and lordy, am I thankful that I did. This scent also morphs a lot-every time I smell it, I feel that a different note comes out, which to me means that it's perfectly balanced. I would call it springy, not so much summery, yet I could certainly see myself wearing this cool and liquid scent on a hot day. The whole impression is light and lovely, with the high note of green herbs-and possibly something citrusy-gentle and sweet, and the background of musk equally clear, yet low-key. I have never, never, never found a scent that was "wet" without turning to soap or ozone on me. To me this smells herbal and aquatic, but NOT ozone-aquatic-ozone comes up very strong and nose-irritating on me, and this is just wet, like dew on the grass. It's not quite what I expected, but I love it. It's not at all what I suspected, and it is unique in its own way. I will probably keep a shortie of this, since I'm borderline on how often I'd reach for it, because it is so light. This reminds me more of a TAL than a BPAL perfume oil. I didn't wear it around others, so I wouldn't be able to say if it got me any extra attention. I think I need to try this on the boyfriend and see if it makes a difference in that way. I do know that I was more sensitive to smells while I wore it- particularly my own pheremonal smells. I don't know if I'd wear this alone, but perhaps layered with other scents, or perhaps in an oil burner. I was worried, but then it was again light, sweet musk. There was a scary little bit where this went to pencil shavings on me, though. It's not a scent that you smell, per se, but an aroma that surrounds you, if that makes any sense at all. Mostly, even after I slathered Buck Moon on, I smelled my own skin, with a breezy, wonderful scent I'd associate with being outdoors on a late summer night. It might well be my favorite of all the lunar oils to date. It's a gorgeous, and if there was ever a BPAL perfume that showcased just how beautiful a fantastic musk can be, this is the one. I'll put my voice to those who have already said that people will regret not having ordered this. I suspect it's a close skin scent - that this is a fragrance that really demonstrates itself through close proximity. I have my nose glued to my wrist) I can't say much about throw either. I'm not sure about longevity yet, and as I have succumbed to classic BPAL'ers Syndrome (i.e. Press close to the skin and it changes: not the scent of deer and herbs, but the smell of human skin (sensual, naked, primal skin.) Not just forests and deer then, but the human animal too, and mating rites and through it all.gentle nuzzling, soft touches, and comfort. How to describe this dream of a scent - lingering, warm, soft (soft as the deer velvet or the soft fur of a doe,) wrapped in the memory of forests and the pale hint of herbs and spice. I wish I was a better reviewer, but I wanted there to be at least one review on the day of the Buck Moon! On my skin, it smells like clear evening air, with a lovely, soft musk underneath. In the bottle, I smell the herbs, but not on my skin. I mostly smell the warm musk and evening air notes. I was expecting something much more in your face, so to speak. I figured since I got to purchase this on the Buck Moon, from the Black Broom, I would review it on it's special day! ![]() Buck Moon is an animalistic, deep scent: an amplification of one’s natural musk coupled with forest herbs, a hint of clear, warm evening air and a crystalline spark of lunar oil. This is a time of masculine vigor, thunder, balmy nights, glorious sunlight and hot winds. This Full Moon marks the time of the year when the new antlers of buck deer emerge from their foreheads, coated in soft velvet.
