Cali Report post Posted January 14, 2023 Subtle pumpkin, lotsa spices! I swear there's apple in here. ...This is honestly very similar on me as to what bobbing for apples was. But far spicier! But, this does have a home-candle quality to it that i can't quite place. Is there wax in here? Maybe that's what the sandalwood does on me. Anyway, sad about that, it's a faux-smelling kinda foodie on me, this has great potential for somebody else though! :') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jensdays Report post Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Just tested this one today, it's been sitting for a week after being shipped from the lab. In the bottle it was almost entirely pumpkin, as well as when it hit my skin. Within just a couple minutes though, the sandalwood is right there, making the pumpkin more subtle, a little drier, and taking over that burst of fresh pumpkin flesh. 15-20 minutes in, cinnamon shows up in a big way. I wasn’t expecting it, there’s nothing about pumpkin spice in the description. It’s the dominant note for a good hour, before it starts settling back down, but it’s still stronger than I’d like. The pumpkin is stronger than the sandalwood, which is nice, and it’s a good pumpkin, I just wish the cinnamon wasn’t there. *Decent staying power, lasted a few hours, not much throw. I'd give it a 3/5, mainly because of that cinnamon. *My skin eats everything, so 4 hours is a long time on me. Edited March 20, 2023 by jensdays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zankoku_zen Report post Posted April 5, 2023 2022 Fresh pumpkin, whiff of spice, and a touch of sandalwood. Medium throw and wear length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alterosen Report post Posted July 13, 2024 (edited) I bought a bottle unsniffed as I was so sure this would be great on me since I love sandalwood & pumpkin (with or without spice) but my skin turned this into wet paint, dank & industrial. (2021 version) I was too afraid to try the 2022 one but perhaps I should as it seems to be different. Edited July 13, 2024 by alterosen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teamama Report post Posted October 17, 2024 I got my bottle through a forum purchase. I think it's the 2021 release. There's spice, maybe some coffee? The sandalwood & pumpkin are too quiet to pick out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmellsPrettyGood2Me Report post Posted May 20 "Something wicked this way comes" is exactly how I feel when putting this on. Aged a few years, it seems like a hint of clove has pushed it's way front and center in the spice profile, to magical effect. Quite possibly the most perfect autumnal BPAL I've tried so far. This is a fall day spent giving hayrides and serving pie to the grandchildren, before shuffling them off to a sun soaked sandalwood slumber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
