Wikipedia's definition: Undertow is a subsurface flow of water returning seaward from shore as result of wave action. This type of shore current can play a role in material deposition such as creating sand bars.
Origin of the perfume: Imp brough though the BPAL.org forum
The Lab's description: The Dark Side of Water: clean and purifying, yet menacing -- lotus and juniper with a hint of mint. A scent dragged up from the depths to the Stygian shore.
In the bottle: Very minty... and a strange piney and dusty scent that reminds me of laundry soap.
Really often, when smelling BPAL perfumes, certain scents trigger memories of places and their distinctive scents. When I smelled Undertow straight from the bottle, I had a vivid memory of a basement or a cold chamber in a old building, dark and filled with cans, wood, laundry soap and spiders.
Wet on skin: The source of that piney and soapy scent that is so strange to me definitely is the lotus and juniper.
Dry down: Gets more minty than "creepy basement-y".
Final: I love minty scent, but this combination is way to strange to me!... I won't keep that one. :(
