Availability: General Catalog Autumn/Winter (N/A in Spring/Summer)
Notes: The distinct aroma of autumn in the Winchester house kitchen with notes of aged oak, fresh baked pumpkin pie, 5 fold orange essential oil coated in the warm essence of light muscovado sugar, fresh ginger, sticky gobs of benzoin, warm buttery caramel simmering on the stovetop and just the barest hint of clove.
First impression out of bottle: Crystallized ginger
Freshly applied: Whoa knock you down crystallized sweet ginger mixed with fresh citrusy ginger.
Drydown: There's a hint of oak playing around with the ginger scent. This is such a fresh and zesty scent- it makes me think of an Asian spa, not a warm haunted kitchen. I can sort of smell the sugary bits trying to get out, but it's still overwhelmingly a fresh ginger scent. I think the orange essential oil is helping that zestiness be at the forefront.
After several hours: Mostly wood now with some hints of ginger. I honestly never smell any of the other dessert scents.
Longevity: High
Sillage: Medium
Would an [X] lover love this? Fresh ginger lovers need this- it's not your powdered spice cabinet ginger.
Would an [X] hater love this? Ginger haters will despise this, and citrus haters too.
Where am I? Smells like you used ginger-based organic room cleaner to clean out an old wooden house. The smell of ginger kind of lingers in a pleasant, clean way but isn't overpowering.
Where would I wear this? Daytime, to clean the house, work, a brisk fall day that's not too cold yet.
