torikitty Report post Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) In the bottle, this smells gross. Like a fermenting sweet treat. I only mention this since a bottle sniff shouldn't deter you from trying it out. I don't get churros like everyone else. To me, this is fried dough that leans towards overly-sweet honey. Honey usually amps on me, so it's not exactly honey. It just leans that way as far as being overly-sweet. To me, this smells more like a honey bun, those Little Debbie snacks, more than anything else. It seems pretty single note on me, as well: sweet, fried dough. I have to breath real deep to get just a hint of cinnamon. After it settles, the fermenting part goes away, and it smells more like a snack you'd like to eat. It really takes a while for the cinnamon to make an appearance, and it's tiny, too. I can see the churro comparison now, but it's faint, and I feel like it's misleading. In any case, I definitely recommend giving this a shot to see if you like it. Edited February 24, 2021 by torikitty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JakkieTreehorn Report post Posted June 27, 2021 This is way different than I expected but in the best way. It is SUPER reminiscent for me of The Strange Old Woman and The Pancake Bell which are my two all time fave dark and spicy gourmands. I no longer have any of either of those for comparison so can’t say how close they really are. But, now that I’m out of those this will definitely be my go to spicy syrupy dark winter scent. I can’t wait to see how this gets with age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiobe Report post Posted October 25, 2022 churros!!! cinnamon sugary goodness. My only complaint is it seems to have way less throw and staying power than Please Scream Inside Yer Snek oyl, for some reason. light, fun, foody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiam Report post Posted April 14, 2023 This is a LOVE! I don't know why I snoozed on this for so long. Well, cinnamon is a death note here, so I was afraid....But now I have it and LOVE It! I wager my bottle is aged as I did get it from a forumite. So, it ages well! In the bottle I was reminded of Mother Ginger. As it dries I really DO get Funnel Cake! This is BIG WIN for my skin chemistry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quantquill Report post Posted May 12 (edited) Got this from a lovely, lovely forumite who spotted it on my wishlist and asked if I'd like her bottle. I'd had a sniffie sample and fell. in. love. but was afraid it wouldn't smell as good in a big bottle / on my skin, so kept putting off the purchase, but when the universe sends you that kind of sign, one must obey. I gave it some time to settle and tried the bottle, and ohhhh yes. Organic real Canadian maple syrup with a tiny bit of Aunt Jemima's brown sugary-ness added. I don't have a very discerning nose, and it's the simple things I love, so this hits the spot. I didn't get any bread, toast, dough, etc. A little touch of cloves, maybe? That's probably what I'm calling brown sugar. I'm going to enjoy smelling like I spilled syrup on myself. Yes, indeed. Edited May 12 by quantquill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
