    The Crumpet Rebellion

    OK, VERY puzzled. When I first sniffed this bottle back in 2007, I got the cakeyness, and the berries, but was overwhelmed by the creamy, buttery notes and firmly screwed the lid back on. I really can't stand anything at all buttery, it really makes me gag. Put the bottle away with the intention of swapping it. Years pass! Having a clear-out, I ask my FB friends if anyone wants this bottle, but there are no takers, so I start to list it on Ebay. Get part-way through writing my description, and decide to check the reviews here. Someone mentions Sugar Skull, so I open the bottle for another sniff, as I love Sugar Skull '07. I sniff. Terrifyingly like Sugar Skull, but without the candied lemon peel. After all these years, I cave in and test it on skin. You know what? It smells like that on my skin, too. Sweet, brown-sugary spices. A hint of something rich in the background, perhaps the ghost of blackberries. What a surprise! Waiting to see how it changes, but still liking it, ten minutes in. Was hell-bent on selling, but now I'm not sure! Argh!
