Dead Leaves and Apple Pie.

[Invidiana]

This is the classic autumn vision of a freshly baked apple pie cooling on a windowsill, with smells of sweet apples and spices wafting outside where leaves are steadily raining down. Children stop and take deep breaths of the forbidden pie. It tempts the squirrels and chipmunks and raccoons that rustle through piles of dead leaves, hoping for a taste. The ultimate fall comfort has been bottled.

I don't even like apple in my perfumes but I took a chance for apple pie and for my love of gourmand dead leaf varieties. Heartbreakingly, this did not smell like apple pie at all T_T I got a short blast of dry, peppery leaf at the start, but then the leaves disappear and the scent becomes nondescript, sweetish, vaguely apple-y. I kept sniffing hoping for warm pie crust, the smell of baked apples, gooey pie filling. I asked my bf to sniff my arm and see what he smelled: "spicy? kind of sweet?" I guess with more time on skin, it does start to resemble spiced apple filling slightly more.. But never pie! I hope that others have a better time with this one, maybe my skin chem or nose chem(?) ruined it.

yes! a perfect windowsill pie. mostly apple pie filling foregrounded against a nice dry dead leaf scent, and I think the leaves are helping prevent it from turning into apple candle.
