Pumpkin Creme Brulee. Thats what this reminds me of. A rich custard, covered in carmelized sugar, with a creamy sweetness and a touch of savory pumpkin. As it dries is becomes less pumpkin-y and more of the burnt sugar note comes through on me, until at the end of the night I smell like a carmelized sugar confection. Its a delicious scent, very lovely, but I wish I had the pumpkin creme stay a bit longer on me.

I picked up a bottle of Alice, as yet unsmelled, purely on reviews and its popularity, and I am so, so glad I did. In the bottle it doesn't overly impress me. Creamy, a touch of something spicy, and honey. All scents I like. I'm not getting any rose out of it. But on me, oh on me. Both wet and dry it turns into a plate of tea cakes, with honey and spices. Its creamy, rich, warm, and sticks around all day (Seriously, applied yesterday at 6:00 a.m., and the ghost of milk and honey was still around me at 11:00 p.m.). This is beautiful, innocent yet mischievous, and I feel its going to quicky turn into one of my go-to's, especially in colder weather.

In the Bottle: A bowl of milk and oats, with a lot of fresh apples and just a touch of honey. Creamy, but with the apple tartness to brighten up everything. Wet on the Skin: Apple is still there, but is now playing second fiddle to the cream and oats. Drydown: The apple slips to the background, while a warm and creamy bowl of goats milk and oats and honey takes the foreground. The overall impression: Its a warm scent, creamy with just a hint of spice. The apple still makes little flirtatious appearance behind the cream, but its mostly oats and milk. I like it! Its going to be a great cold weather scent.
