BPAL's All Hallows Chaos: Pumpkin Spice #1, as decanted by Ajevie. To my nose, I believe this is pumpkin spiced coffee. There's a deep, dry coffee note, and something that might be a smattering of dark cocoa? No milkiness, so not a PSL. It's vaguely reminiscent of Café Mille et une Nuits, except the spice mix is quite different and I don't get any shisha smoke.

I'm terrible at identifying notes, but I get: bergamot, citrus (mandarin, perhaps?), juniper, vetiver (?), lavender (?), magnolia (?), and amber. The overall effect is reminiscent of a cologne, but I like it.

This, unfortunately, didn't work on me as intended. It went on like blue slushies -- you know, the ones you get at 7-11. Syrupy snow cones and potpourri and sweet mandarin and menthol and eucalyptus. The inside of a Christmas ornaments shop or a Bath & Body Works in early December. It clears my nose to sniff it, but it isn't something I want to wear.
