Brunch Witches

[VioletChaos]

Dressed in her witchy best for brunch with the fam!

Pumpkin pancakes and berries in cream.

In The Bottle: The subtle dough of the pancakes mixed with a light, sweet berry. Yummmmm

Wet On Skin: Same, maybe with a *tiny* dusting of powdered sugar? Or perhaps that's just the sweet aspect of the berries peeking in a little bit more!

Dry Down: Same. Low throw, foodie- but in a very light, very subtle way. Pancake Breakfast was a scent that proved too heavy for me to wear repeatedly. But this, this is the pancake scent of my dreams. SO glad I got a bottle! <3

Definitely agree with VioletChaos.

 

It's got low throw, but I don't mind because I would slather this all day.

 

It's definitely a softer pancake smell and honestly when it's first on it smells like pumpkin syrup. But once it dries the actual pancake note comes out and the berries to me smell like blueberries, just how my skin interprets it. Sometimes I forget this is supposed to be a pumpkin pancake smell because when I close my eyes I immediately go "This is a blueberry crepe drizzled in pumpkin syrup"

 

It's just delicious. Period.

First off let me say I do not have a bottle or decant of this scent, I got to skin test it only once so far, about a week ago at Dirty South Lunacy, so I'm not sure how long it had rested after shipping or anything like that. I got lots of berry from this, but not a sharp, tart, berry at all... I think someone there said Crunch Berries and I totally agree because I got a childhood breakfast cereal nostalgia vibe big time. I had a hard time picking out the pumpkin or anything maple-y or overtly pancake-y, but the I think the "pancake" was giving me the cereal grains impression and the cream was probably giving me the cereal milk impression. This is not what I was hoping for in the scent, I was hoping for lots of pumpkin and cream (and maybe even some maple for the pancakes even though it's not listed in the notes) but it's actually quite nice for what it is and grew on me over the night, so I would like to try this out again if I get a chance.

Wet: Berry pancakes! Yum. Not getting any pumpkin yet. The berries almost have a lightly floral tone to them, but not in an overwhelming way.

 

Dry: The berry scent has faded a bit, this is mostly just pancakes now. There's some warmth to this that wasn't present during the wet stage, which I think is the pumpkin peeking it's way through.

 

I look forward to how this ages, and hopefully the pumpkin comes out a bit more!

Berry pancakes. I mainly get berries, sugar, pancake batter and maybe a whiff of pumpkin. This smells fruity, sweet, and oh so delicious. On the drydown it has a propensity of sort of smelling like the milk from a sugary fruity breakfast cereal. Good throw and wear length.

Sniffing in the decant, yep...berries and that breakfast pancake scent.

 

On my skin, wow.. the berries POP right out! Like.. in your face! To me, the berries have a slight "syrup" quality to them. It's real good!

 

As it dries, I am not getting much pumpkin.... and a little hint of pancake, but as of now, the berry jam/syrup is taking over in a good way. Berry scents can go plastic on me, but so far, this isn't. If you like foody sweet scents, this is for you. Has good throw on me and it was only a small dab from the decant.

In the bottle - Berry pumpkin gorgeousness. Light, though.

Wet - Moist berry pumpkin. Why do I ever buy things that aren't pumpkin?

Drydown - The berries and pumpkin are getting along great. They've melded into this spicy-fruity combo and it's amaaaazing. Like an upscale seasonal candle (in a good way).

Verdict - Even later in the day, it's happy spicy berries. Puts a smile on my face every time I catch a whiff. Love it!

In the decant: This smells like dry Cap'n Crunch Berries on every initial sniff I take. But subsequent sniffs just make me think of fake berry.

 

Wet: This... actually does smell like Cap'n Crunch Berry cereal on me at first. The berries and cream are stronger than the pancake note on me, which doesn't really remind me specifically of pumpkin pancakes. Every once in a while, the pancake note bursts through the berries and cream, but combined with the berries and cream, those brief pancake moments continue to remind me more of cereal than pumpkin pancakes with real berries and cream on top.

 

Dry: Strong, artificial berries and cream, with burst of the cereal-like pancake note every once in a while.

 

Verdict: I was hoping this would be heavy on the pumpkin pancakes. Alas, that is not the case on me. I'm not really a fan of berry-heavy scents, so I'll be passing on my decant.

This starts off as a light berry scent with warm doughy notes. Not sure I can find any pumpkin at all. My skin turned it into those little violet pastille candies, with just a hint of berry. So weird!

[tyche]

I tried Brunch Witches this morning and immediately smelled the Crunchberries cereal! Glad to see it wasn't just me.

 

That artificial berry scent fades after about an hour and then it's a pleasant sweet cream. I really don't get any pumpkin, all berries & cream.

Reminds me of Pancake Breakfast! It’s pancakes with that blueberry syrup on top. Super yummy. Low throw but did stick around on my skin for about 5 hours! Never got any pumpkin surprisingly. But love this anyway.
