2009 Version
I was so stoked to get an imp of this in a swap...I am a lunatic for Halloween and all things autumn. Dead leaves? Woods? Apple and pumpkin? YES PLEASE. The descriptors and the reviews made it sound like a match made in heaven...but alas, this was almost 100% patchouli/mullein on me with MAYBE a tint of apple...very spicy in a not good way and autumnal...not quite. My mother immediately accused me of reeking of tobacco...*sigh* I washed it off rather quickly. Unfortunately now that she mentioned it, it does smell a lot like strong tobacco, in bottle and wet on skin. When dry for a little bit, the tobacco is still there but faintly, with a background of distant apple. Not something I can wear, sadly, but I keep sniffing it periodically to see if it magically changes at all.
