Vanille Café Comptoir Sud Pacifique 2019

Your Halloween treat bucket from childhood
I saw someone say that this smells like what your Halloween bag full of candy did as a kid, and that is spot-on! To me, it's:
OPENING:
- a confusing rush of different chocolate bar notes
- a little bit of synthetic raspberry filling (not listed but it was so strong when I smelled it - I swear it's there)
DRY-DOWN:
- all of the above, just softer
- a powdery musk
- a dash of Sweetarts candy
- a hint of plastic with nauseatingly-sweet vanilla (which I guess fits with the feeling of a Halloween bag of candy, with leftover candy bar wrappers)
There is something a little bit off-putting about this - I'm not sure what note it is. Maybe a combo of the green almond and the benzoin siam. But it actually smells like the inside of those colored plastic tubes of mini M&Ms after you've finished them all.
Definitely not what I expected, and not something I personally enjoy. But could be fun for a nostalgic feel, or for a Halloween scent.
