Bottle: slight mango, ginger, allspice, sugar, and milk Wet: mango and chai tea Drydown: fruitiness goes, smells a bit like cheap chai tea. I have to agree with anaengel. Overall, it's okay. I feel like it's a bit generic, but wearable if I don't want something overpowering.

I wish I could smell some of the interesting things people are noticing in this. I guess that it means they blend really well together. It mostly smells like a spicy pumpkin soup to me. Warm, comforting, and cozy. Perhaps a pumpkin curry? I know it sounds weird, why would you want to wear pumpkin soup, but it's like a spicy pumpkin, rather than a sugary, cinnamon pumpkin.

Decant sitting in plastic imp for the last couple years. Wet: sweet, island floral, hint of coconut. I agree about it being more of a Spring scent. Overall, pretty light with very little throw. Drydown: Smells a bit like the home fragrances of Hawaiian Islands. Bit of the lime and ginger peeking through. I think the coconut is the sweet base that pulls them together, but not overwhelming. Overall: success

I received an imp of this from the lab. In the bottle: smells a bit like apple Wet: I smell Rooibos tea. Kinda like a sweet, nutty, with a hint of vanilla rooibos. It's pretty unmistakably if you drink a lot of tea. I think I don't know enough about fresh figs to identify that smell. Drydown: Some of the coconut peeks out. It ends up reminding me a bit of Perversion. I guess I amp more of the foodie smells, because I'm not smelling a lot of the green that others describe. Overall, it's a nice, sweet scent that doesn't have a lot of throw.

In the bottle: boozy apples Wet: Faint spices, sour buttercream, artificial vanilla, a bit of apple. And some boozy apple cider. Drydown: Spices become more apparent. Butter Cake comes out more. Apple is faintly around the edge of everything. It's not bad, a bit like a candle on me. Dry: Spicy holiday vanilla candle. Apples are mostly gone. This really feels like I should be smelling it from a glass jar in a store. I still like it, but I feel it's far from cider cake. I think I would layer this with something else.

Wet: Somewhat artificial blueberry, but still sweet, kinda like SweetTarts. Some light flower notes in the back. Guess that would be some of the lemon verbena, too. Overall, a really happy smell. Has somewhat of the same start as Bones Trombone, minus the vanilla/pie. Drydown: Some of the lavender comes out, ends up smelling a bit like clean soap. Honeysuckle is in the background, too. Blueberry isn't very detectable. It's still a fun scent that doesn't have a big throw. Definitely reminds me of summer days. Dry: Honeysuckle and grass. Maybe a hint of the lavender keeping it clean. And the lemon-verbena kinda bringing it all together. Definitely wouldn't consider this a foodie smell. But, if you're a foodie kinda person that can't do flowery normally, I feel like this is a step towards that. Fresh flowers without being overpowering or headache-inducing.

2014 version In the bottle and wet on the skin: Definitely smells like the awesome eggnog of youth. Perfect balance of cream, vanilla, nutmeg. Maybe a hint of cinnamon. Drydown: Vanilla becomes key element. I'm not experiencing the plasticy vanilla from year's past, but it doesn't smell exactly like the creamy vanilla from the beginning. I think some light fruitiness is behind it, maybe coconut. It vaguely reminds me of sunscreen at the beach, mixed with some artificial vanilla. So, not a complete success this year if I'm gauging others' expectations accurately, but for me, it's worth it just for the initial smell at the beginning. I definitely recommend a decant if you're unsure.

I just discovered this today. I received an imp in a swap from a fellow bpaler in the Netherlands. Right away, this reminded me of Snow Glass Apples. It's not quite as strong, though. I immeditely jumped on Good Judy's website, hoping I could still find it. Alas, it has been discontinued.

Bourbon vanilla, white mint, and white chocolate with a squirt of lemon meringue and a dribble of absinthe. I agree with everything astarinel said. The white mint really stood out here, so it smells very clean. Kinda reminds me of old people. It reminds me of something from my childhood, too, but I can't quite place it, the dentist office maybe? The minty smell of the tooth polish they use? It's interesting, but less foody and vanilla than I had hoped. I think I was hoping for more anise scent, sweetened by vanilla. It's managed to linger all day, and smelled kinda "out of the shower" on my husband.I think if you wanted something more astringent that smelled closer to alcohol, this might work. Definitely recommend getting an imp first.
