Sweet and strong, but full of character, like a majestic big black cat! Buttery creme with a smooth caramel undercoat, bourbon vanilla (the kind with the tiny black specks), gourmet candy corn crushed and put in the mix, and a crust of burnt sugar with a crunch from some indefinable but thoroughly delightful source. All this with a kiss of cinnamon, a very small puff of clove, and one grain of allspice.
Type: Spicy, foody, fall, heavy

Preliminary notes: Is it gonna smell like a fall candle? Let’s find out. Much like High Tea, I initially got a free sample of this in my first Possets parcel, so this review was written when I tried the sample.
DH’s preliminary notes: Sounds like a movie night at my house when I was a teenager.
In bottle: So. Fucking. Buttery. I love it. The spices are a bit in-your-face, but I can live with that. This smells delicious. It does veer into fall candle territory a bit, but I’m not opposed to that at all. This is one hell of an autumnal gourmand.
DH’s thoughts: Certainly is pungent. Makes me think about food again, like some kind of cake. Maybe a pound cake. There’s something creamy in there too. And something like, a wood table?
On skin: Much the same, but the spices blend into the caramel and cream enough to calm down a bit. The caramel and cream notes never go plasticky or sour on me, which is fantastic. I immediately full sized this after skin testing. Love, love, love. This may very well be my holy grail caramel scent.
DH’s thoughts: Smells completely different on you. That smells like you’re eating a cake at your grandma’s house *points at sample vial*, and now it smells like bath bombs. It lost its potency. It lost all of its food notes. (This made me sad and I disagree with it, but scent is subjective. I don’t regret full sizing it and will wear the hell out of it regardless)
Verdict: 5 luscious Halloween treats out of 5. I absolutely adore this and want to bathe in it. Instant win for me.
