WOW
"I don't get a WHOLE lot of pumpkin and I don't get a WHOLE lot of chai. I think a toasted pumpkin flesh or roasted chestnut is the main note—nutty and earthy. Candied ginger and orange rind help lift it a bit but those notes are sparse. I get some vanilla immediately OOB but pretty much nonexistent otherwise. Blink and you miss it cinnamon and maybe a little black pepper. Not so much spicy as lightly spiced. Very restrained. I think this is wonderful. I think it dodges and weaves some of the myriad of pitfalls prevalent in fall fragrance oils with war crimes against buttercream, cinnamon, and vanilla. This is a warm scent, a cozy scent. Very much a seasonal scent. Certainly a pumpkin scent for pumpkin haters (which is me). Other scents that claim to be pumpkin spice for pumpkin spice haters and it's just a cardamom and ginger bomb with zero nuance."
