Subtle and Comforting. Got compliments on how good this smelled and how calming and peaceful it was.

I have been trying many perfumes recently but the nutmeg and the maple in this scent made this one a FAST favorite, after resting for a couple of days if has only gotten better! Opens very fruity with the apricot but dries down more creamy like maple butter.

The apricot and spices are the first notes I smell while it’s wet on the skin. As it starts to dry, swirls of salted caramel begin wrapping around me while the maple and honey add an additional warmth to this cozy scent. Hours after it dries is when I really smell the pumpkin bread fresh from the oven. It fades in the most lovely way, leaving me ensconced in Autumn’s embrace and perfectly content. It’s no where near as sickly sweet as I was expecting since I gravitate towards darker/earthier scents. If anything, it’s a nice foray into the world of gourmands for me and has left me craving more.

It really is damn near perfect. I knew I would love it because I love apricot so much but wow! I now love pumpkin too and I didn’t really care about pumpkin before!

I am basically neutral on pumpkin; wouldn't go seeking it out particularly, but not opposed either. On the other hand, I can't resist at least trying any NCD perfume with honey in it. Well, this is pumpkin bread (cake really) with beautiful herby-floral honey and little wafts of gentle spice and apricot. It's exactly the sort of thing NCD excels at, and I'd know it as theirs anywhere. In other hands this could easily be stodgy or basic "pumpkin spice," but this is lovely. Sweet, ever so slightly earthy, unexpected. The apricot just lightens things up a little and it's altogether gloriously autumnal, all shades of russet and gold. If you are a fan of the Bees collection, you must try this.
