I love the chilled quality that this immediately opens with. It starts off with the spices of the iced chai and a musky sweetness. There’s a slight soapiness there too, but it leans more “expensive soap” to my nose. As it dries down, the cathedral incense begins to waft in and out. I’m not the biggest fan of overly incensey perfumes, but Nui’s cathedral incense note is divine. This scent really creeps up on you as it gets darker and earthier the longer you wear it. The graveyard dirt and the dead leaves add the perfect amount of wickedness and I’m getting big Jennifer’s Body vibes from it. I love Canoodling in a Leaf Pile from the Autumn Part I collection, so I’m thrilled to add her darker sister to my collection.

Absolutely beautiful scent. It’s a little gothy but not too much.

This is fantastic! A lovely cool scent, I get the iced chai right away and then those spices head underneath and the dead leaves, black amber, and incense come forward. It's a very close wearing scent, and it puts me in mind of drinking an iced chai latte while walking through a graveyard on a cool Autumn day. Absolutely perfect!

Initially this is all mulling spices all the time. Almost an apple cider, but those spices quickly settle way down and a chilled note comes out. I can't shake the impression there are apples somewhere here. Then the glossy black amber appears. Not a lot of throw on me, but pretty nice.
