I get mainly a sweet patchouli blend with amber, and touches of both apple and tobacco. This is perhaps the least "apple" of all the NYCC Apple 2017 blends I've tried. This one is a sophisticated, sultry, perfumey type of patchouli. Good throw and wear length.

Anyway, this is exactly as I remember that having been. It's as though it could be one of the Laces. It's beautiful. Love.

Smoking incense through an apple. Like. literally if a stoner had an apple and some leaf... Not a bad scent but patchouli turns unshowered hippie on me in an instant. Overwhelming and unpleasant.

I recently hunted down Apple X and was disappointed. This is the elegant patchouli-apple blend I have been looking for.
Sadly, I've never smelled the apple-heavy version of Black Lace, but I do agree that this bears a lot of similarities to the other Laces I have experienced. It's sophisticated and perfume-y in the best way. The patchouli is indeed a sweet variety; it's jammy and reminds me of the purple / "fruit-chouli" patch that is common in more commercial perfumes (Mdme. Moriarty's patch also smells similar to this, IMO). This is in no way a criticism; I personally love the sweeter, more approachable patchouli varieties. The apple adds a freshness that cuts through what would otherwise be a very rich and heavy combo of patch, amber, and tobacco.
I love BPAL's apple blends and have amassed a sizeable collection of them, but I'm so glad to have this particular bottle and will make room for it.
