Bone Apple Teeth

[doomsday_disco]

Saying “bone apple teeth” instead of “bon appétit” seems to take on a special meaning in the context of Halloween treats. Here’s a scent commemorating the allure of everything our dentist would have us avoid: a luscious red apple rendered nigh impenetrable by armored plates of toffee and caramel, sprinkled with bone-dry cinnamon-glazed almonds and hard bits of popcorn.

Around this time of year, every candy shop in existence starts to put out loaded caramel apples in those cellophane wrappers tied with orange and black bows. They tempt and tease from the windows. This is the fantasy of biting into one of those apples: buttery toffee and gooey caramel with that burnt-sugar lusciousness, rolled in satisfyingly crunchy popcorn and roasted almonds with a dusting of cinnamon, with a bite of juicy Red Delicious beneath all that Halloween candy on a stick. You can almost feel it stick to your teeth.

The red apple is the star of the show on me throughout wear. I say sweet because there's no tartness, not because of the caramel or toffee -- because neither of those notes are distinct on me (there's a candied aspect, but I'm not getting any buttery caramel or toffee), and the same goes for the cinnamon and almond, shockingly. I do get the popcorn by the end of the day, where it manages to cozy up to the apple note, but by that point, the scent is pretty faint.

 

This comparison will probably help maybe only a handful of people, but it reminds me of the jar of scoopable County Fair wax I have from Zeep Bath (which closed this year). That one also reads mostly a sweet red apple to me, although it is said to contain funnel cakes, handmade caramel apples, and kettle corn.

 

I'd recommend this to someone who wants a pretty straightforward, non-spiced, sweet red apple scent.
