Raspberry Punch with Cake Crumbs
perfumeplease replied to doomsday_disco's topic in The Edward Gorey House
This is delectable! In the bottle it's almost medicinal like cough syrup but on the skin that disappears. The raspberry is fruity in candy-like way. It's similar to the scent of sniffing a bag of gummies. The botanical elements in the gin and the elderberry liqueur give it a refined edge but it doesn't go over into the boozy realm. It's a light scent by nature but I think that works perfectly for the profile. -

Beautiful! Very ballet-core. -
I've tried all but one of the Hundred Acre Wood collection and this one is my favorite! I'm not the biggest lover of laundry or lavender scents but this is undeniably beautiful! Perfect for everyday wear. Soft, clean, pretty purple florals, and cozy.

Nice for layering but it's faint and does come off as more of a caramel syrup than a thick rich sauce. I'll pair it with a caramel EDP in my collection.

The person who said this smelled like a Ricola cough drop was spot on lol! Immediately upon application that's all I get but like a really fancy version of a Ricola cough drop. Once it dries and settles into the skin the honey is still strong but it's soft and tempered by the oats and brightened by the lemon verbena and carrot leaf. It's a scent that lifts your spirits.

Very simple but very pretty. Warm cardamom with honey and musk. The cardamom tickles my nose. The milky musk is leaning more towards powdery on me rather than milky. -
Very strong in the red bean paste!!! That's really the dominant note for me. The other elements add sweetness and they truly conjure the color pink. The apple blossom adds a clean shampoo-like touch and the caramelized almond adds a bit of decadence.

Wow this is a powerful scent! Not what expected but I'm glad to have it in my collection because it's very different from everything I own. I was expecting this to be very sweet, particularly after reading some of the other reviews. I'm also someone who owns and loves ultra sugary tooth rotting gourmand perfumes so my tolerance for sweet perfumes is probably higher. The most prominent notes on my skin and in the bottle are the myrrh and the spiced rum. The other notes are there: almond, brown sugar, dates, vanilla, and a hint of marshmallow. But they're in the background. It's more like the scent that you'd get from brewing a spiced cocktail with sugary ingredients. I'm happy that I have this going into fall/winter but I'll probably use it layered with some of my sugary gourmand perfumes to tone down the spice.
