Pumpkin and Green Chypre

Recommended Posts

[No additional description provided.]

So again, on wet, the pumpkin reigns supreme and I can smell a whiff of light chypre. As it dries, the pumpkin recedes to the background, and you get this light perfumey citrus chypre. It's very gender neutral, and honestly makes me think of sunlight through fall leaves. Bright, autumnal, cheery. Very atmospheric.

This is for when every day is Halloween. Even if you have to go to work, in an office. Oh, and it's summer. Medium throw and wear length.

Starts off smelling like I dropped a slice of vanilla frosted pumpkin cake into a tangle of dark weeds, including a strong impression of bitter, tangy dandelion greens.  I enjoy the green opening, but over about 20 minutes, it gets more and more dry until it smells like dried, powdery oakmoss (not the spicier, vintage perfumey type of oakmoss that I love) and maple syrup with a hint of pumpkin spice.  It oddly feels bland, washed out and powdery, yet also cloying from the maple syrup and sweet spice.  The drydown makes me sad.
