Goes on strong, smelling just like maraschino cherries. Unfortunately, on me, my skin sucks up the cherry, and it really doesn't last long. I'd say I get about an hour of light cherry buttercream smell, and then it's totally gone.

I've tried 20+ scents and only liked 2. Help!

Wow, I feel like I have a good amount of the imps listed here. Mind if I send you some? I have so many! -
Belgian Chocolate, Black Pepper, Whiskey, & Bourbon Vanilla

In the bottle, I get sweet chocolate and pepper mixed with booze. Surprisingly, this smells exactly like what you’d expect on, and completely nothing like the description on my husband. I figured I would morph it, too. Chocolate is the most apparent, with pepper fading to the background. I guess the whisky, too. I thought this would be more outstanding given some of the similar box of chocolates from previous years, but it’s a really wearable chocolate on me. -
This one doesn’t disappoint! I amp the cherry and pepper, and they go so well together! The cherry does fade eventually, but leaves a fruity, happy pepper behind. I think cherry fans could be disappointed that cherry doesn’t last longer, but pepper fans will be happy with such a wearable pepper.

In the bottle, I smell banana Runts candy. During dry down, the cream part comes out, and it smells a lot more like banana cream pie. The coconut seems to slowly make it’s appearance more known and edging closer to BBW Creamy Coconut. I don’t detect any chocolate, but it could be adding to the overall creaminess.

Wow, my experience was so much different. It ended up having a floral quality to it. Not quite rose, but it hit me similar to a heady floral that was acrid. I didn't get wax, leather, or anything else people noted. Not a snake for me.

Yes, mulled wine! I mostly get cherries and wine. Maybe a hint of clove, but not much pumpkin spice. And considering I tried Blood Squib Snake Oil on the other arm, which is super cherry, this feels like a dusty, “antique” cherry. I guess I associate wine with “antique”? I’d recommend this for wine lovers, maybe clove lovers, but not pumpkin spice lovers. Sweet and fruity lovers could be hit or miss.

This smells great in the bottle. Like wine, maybe some chocolate. I agree that there's some similar notes from Tzenzon Tchotochin, spicy and herbal like that. And something that smells a bit like the leather in Perversion. Unfortunately, there's something in here that goes to oud on me, not sure which note. Not super cat pee, but something that sticks around and overpowers the wine notes.

I LOVE this! I wish I could find more. It's such a comforting holiday scent that is evocative of baking, and I can vaguely pick up on the apricot. But none of the spices feel overwhelming or artificial, which makes it even better.
-
I think I was expecting something different. This totally reminds me of brown sugar and cinnamon instant oatmeal.

I had a similar experience as soupy twist. It's like a green fig, and possibly grass. Or something earthy that is starting to decompose. I can see "dead leaves" fans, who don't want a foodie experience, really digging this.

Yes! Someone else already mentioned it, glad I wasn't the only one that noticed it, too. I wanted to come here specifically to mention it's super similarity to Snake Can! If you didn't get a chance to snag that, this comes in close second. Not that there's a 1:1 similarity between popcorn and salted nuts, but I think there's something between how they interact with Snake Oil that is similar. Salty and sweet? If you're a Snake Oil lover, or a Mouse Circus lover, this is wonderful!

I agree, coffee is an afterthought. This is mostly butterscotch. It's great, and the sillage is nice. It hangs out for a while.

Wet: definitely cake. pumpkin spice wiggles it's way forward slowly. drydown: dry and spicy cake wet: the vanilla goes plasticy, sadly. It's a nice pumpkin cake/bread in the background, though.

Can’t believe I forgot to review this! Still enjoying it immensely! It’s a bit lighter when first sprayed, but once it dissipates, a lovely cinnamon orange clove fill the room. So lovely and festive!
