bheansidhe Report post Posted Thursday at 08:45 PM (edited) Do you know how some patchoulis are described as "chewy" (looking at OG Banshee Beat / Revenant Rhythm here)? This duet has the same sweet, chewy quality as that patch when first applied, while not smelling one bit like actual patchouli. Honey and chestnut notes both hate me, so there's a brief discordant arm-wrestle with my personal chemistry where I get a treacle-y molasses cut with a strong potpourri note, which resolves into nutmeg, ground ginger, and a touch of what's reading as bay leaf. The spices are warming and culinary-adjacent, but not baking spices per se; this isn't another pumpkin spice iteration. It's spiced like the Silk Road, not like Starbucks. It's wearing down like a big, round, sweet, chewy, kind of REALLY funky caramel incense overlaid with chestnut toffee and ginger beer - a little like Red Lantern. I can see this as a demented dark circus food stall. Edited Thursday at 11:53 PM by bheansidhe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
