I've been thinking about the Pumpkin Patches, past and present, and I know there are at least a couple I'd still like to try. Here's a breakdown so I can get it all straight in my mind. There are so many, it's kind of hard to keep track of them!

 

So, I will rate these on a scale of 1-5, based on interest. Anything 3 or above, I'll probably track down a decant at some point.

 

Pumpkin Patch '05 and '06......

 

I......Pumpkin with apple cider and mulling spice.

This sounds pretty yummy, but I think my ultimate mulled cider scent has already been found (Fearful Pleasure). I wouldn't mind sniffing this but I won't go way out of my way to find it. However, if I found a cheap bottle, I'd probably grab it for a room scent. 2/5

 

II.....Pumpkin with cocoa, hazelnut and walnut.

Nah, don't like cocoa that much, and not crazy about nuts in perfume either. I can safely pass on this one. 1/5

 

III......Pumpkin and pomegranate.

I'm not a big fruit scent fan either....I already have a few, and they are more than enough to fill that niche in my collection. Pass on this one. 1/5

 

IV......Pumpkin with sandalwood and orris.

I don't like orris that much. I like sandalwood, but I already have plenty of nice sandalwood essential oil. If I ever get the urge for pumpkin and sandalwood, it would be pretty easy to recreate on my own. Pass on this one too! 2/5

 

V.......Pumpkin with five woods, English ivy and galangal root.

Now this one, I have always wanted to try. I tend to like green scents, and a lot of woods work well for me. Some woods go kind of flat for me but this is worth a try, for sure. 4/5

 

Pumpkin Patch '07

 

I.......Pumpkin with pear, white wine grapes, and jasmine-laced tea.

No.......not for me. Probably smells nice, but just not my thing. 2/5

 

II........Pumpkin with tobacco, champa flower, carnation, and tonka.

Hmm, I thought I had tried a decant of this, but I never wrote a review. It does sound like something I'd like. Tobacco is the only iffy note, but it works for me sometimes. Would like to try except I have this nagging feeling that I already have a decant of this somewhere. I'll have to look for it. 3/5

 

III........Pumpkin with white chocolate, caramel, pomegranate, and cream.

Again, not crazy about chocolate. I remember thinking this sounded interesting when these first came out. Since then, I've had my fill of chocolate and/or fruity scents. 2/5

 

IV.....Pumpkin with cactus blossom, sage, and sweetgrass.

Definitely already have a decant, not a bad scent, but do not need more. 1/5 (would be higher if I didn't already have some)

 

V.......Pumpkin with benzoin, bourbon vanilla, lemon peel, neroli, blood orange, and red ginger.

Yes! Already have a decant, and could probably use another one. I have tested this side by side with Pumpkin Queen, and although they are different scents, it's really hard to tell the difference. 3/5 (would be higher if I didn't already have some)

 

Pumpkin Patch '08

 

I......Pumpkin with mango, persimmon, coconut, and myrrh.

Already tried it, have some, do not need more! It smells like sweet potato casserole to me. 1/5

 

II........Pumpkin with black musk, leather accord, tonka, teak, orange wood, and opoponax.

Yes, yes, yes! Have a decant, would not mind another. 4/5

 

IV......Pumpkin with white sage, cherry tobacco, honey, smoky vanilla, cedar, and pine.

I had an interest in this one, but I let it pass by because of the honey, probably. Still wouldn't mind trying it, as long as the honey behaves itself. 4/5

 

V.......Pumpkin with cranberry, strawberry, red musk, red rose, rosehip, frankincense, fig, jasmine, and carnation.

No ma'am, no sir, not for me! Red musk, jasmine and frankincense are nice, fig and carnation are okay, red rose can be wearable sometimes, but all together, and with the fruits, make this one an easy pass for me. 1/5

 

Pumpkin Patch '09

 

I.......Pumpkin, almond, brown musk, and honey.

I usually can't wear honey, with a rare exception here and there. And I don't think I like brown musk that much. Pass on this one. 2/5

 

II.......Pumpkin, rosewood, red sandalwood, and tea rose.

Not really of interest to me, except for maybe the red sandalwood. 2/5

 

III......Pumpkin, fir needle, pitch, rosemary, and tomato.

I am interested in trying this, not sure if it's something I'd wear, but it's unique and I'd like to try it. 3/5

 

IV......Pumpkin, black musk, tobacco, myrrh, and clove.

Reminds me of a couple of the past ones. I wouldn't mind trying it, but I also have lots of scents like this already. Maybe not with pumpkin, though. Interested enough for a decant at some point. 3/5

 

V........Pumpkin, chocolate, coffee bean, vanilla bean, and hazelnut.

At first I wasn't interested because of the chocolate, but the will-call reviews are saying this is heavier on the coffee, which makes it a little more appealing in my eye. Would like to sniff at some point. 3/5
