An opening of golden apricot nectar and fine brandy are instantly intoxicating, brightened with sticky citrus peel and zesty chai spices. Sichuan pepper emerges, its natural citrus fragrance and notes of pine resin giving a delicious complexity to the blend, as it infuses the brandy with its deep, floral heat.
I'm not usually a big fan of peppers or cognac in perfumes (or citrus now that I think about it lol) but this is so addictive. Cheerful and warm without the harsh, tannic fruitiness that most cognac notes have, with a perfect balance between the festive top notes.
I didn't think I was going to get any of the oat milk or caterpillar fluff (and I'm not sure how much time has passed because I've just been sniffing my wrist for a while), but the nutty, creamy oat milk slowly emerges from the base, milky and comfortingly cool, easiest the heat of the Sichuan peppers. I'm going to be honest, I don't know what caterpillar fluff smells like quality to the oat milk compared to the way I experienced it in **Starkin**.
I was really excited to try this one because I love cozy scents and was obsessed with the oat milk in Starkin, but this really exceeded my expectations!
I can clearly smell the jammy apricots but there is soo much more to it! The apricots are ever so slightly spiced and warmed up with the brandy, though nothing remotely boozy feeling. The oat milk makes the whole thing creamy, a touch sweet and makes the scent to have a significant lactonic profile. It remains on skin forever and wafts around as I move. I took a leap with the blind bottle but it became my favorite in the order.
It is the most gorgeous fall apricot take I've ever tried! If you enjoyed the oat milk in Starkin and you want an autumnal version, I highly suggest!
