doomsday_disco Report post Posted 2 hours ago (edited) This smells like spiced pumpkin mixed with matcha (and the matcha does have the bitter, somewhat vegetal quality of matcha and does not smell like the Lab's standard citrusy green tea note). I was surprised how heavily spiced this smelled in the decant and when I applied it to my skin, and I thought for sure it would burn me like Nocturne Alchemy's Scaretastic Tea does (which is another pumpkin spice and matcha scent!). However, despite this smelling like I fell into a vat of pumpkin spice, this didn't leave any redness or welts on the back of my hand. (That said, I would never risk applying this to a sensitive area like the crook of the elbows or the neck). Both notes cozy up to each other and are present throughout wear, with the spiced pumpkin being the stronger of the two notes, but eventually, the spices do calm down after several hours, and it smells like syrupy pumpkin with a touch of bitterness from the matcha. I like this and will definitely be keeping my decant, and I'll have to retest it to see if I need more before it goes away. (I think it really depends on if I can only wear this on my hands/wrists or if I'm able to slather it without it aggravating my sensitive skin). This will be great to wear in the autumn.
