In the bottle: crisp, delicious apples. Kind of dry, like the skin, not the fruit inside. Either way, I’m betting this is going to be great…
Wet: um, what? Did this happen to anyone else? It smells like delicious apples, but with… cheese snacks in the background. The apple smell is lovely, but the strange baked cheese thing is throwing me off, and it’s pretty strong…
Drying: okay, the cheese has gone away, but now it just smells like this certain apple-scented soap they always used at a camp I used to go to, so it smells like bathrooms…
Dry: finally, the delicious fruit I smelled at the beginning, but sweeter and juicer. None of that weird cheese or bathroom smells from earlier, just juicy, sweet apples.
Final thoughts: once I get past the initial weirdness going on, it is a yummy, juicy apple smell. Unfortunately, it's too light and doesn't last very long once it starts behaving. I might try to age it, but if that doesn't work (or if I'm impatient) I'll go ahead and swap it...
