Pumpkin punch with whole fruits
Since one must come also only once on it to fill pumpkins into so small Flakons, that is already Parfumeur work of all first cream class, that can not everyone, for it one must have already a pumpkin miniature distillation diploma in the bag, and who has that already.

But, great idea, just does not smell so good.
Smells namely, maybe because of all the other stuff that's in here, certainly because of the tangerines, somehow like E 605 forte, with a hint of lemongrass, phosphorworcestersauce (if you can pronounce that correctly, you're a freak!) and just like garlic manure.

Way too sweet!
Pumpkins, but even the really small, cute little pumpkins, don't smell sweet at all!
Pumpkins aren't meant to smell anyway. What are they even there? Eat the jawohl no one. The things are completely useless, and just to lie around there thick & fat so; Actually first not unsympathetic, but also totally superfluous, right? (Look at the sofa.)

They more than deserve the ugly grimaces we humans give them from time to time. What have pumpkins ever done for us?

They us NOW, in these difficult times, when we all have nerves of Elster tax paperwork,

we ALL can't go on' holiday, aren't allowed to crash quads over Dubai's dunes, just just 4 fun, to want to foist it on us as a perfume, is fabulous cheek on ELdO's part. My opinion!

Pumpkin soup at the Indian in Hollywood around the corner
EldO encouraged me to try "Like This" with the sound file for "Like This", which is on the official website and was divinely spoken by Tilda Swinton. So I ordered some samples.

I'll make it short this time. "I like "Like This" and also the tester family, but it smells like pumpkin soup with ginger, curry and a little bit of Maggi. Flowery, spicy, sweet and fruity. Maybe it can be worn at home on weekends. Maybe that was Tilda Swinton's favourite dish at the time with the Indian in Hollywood around the corner. I don't know, I don't know. I didn't dare wear it to work. I don't have any tolerant colleagues anyway. Recently they explained to me that you have to spray perfume behind your ears and on your hair (and not into your neckline or on your forearms). Pumpkin soup behind the ears and on the hair I imagine exotic (pumpkin soup hairmist). My nose isn't that long, I can put it behind my ears. I don't want to glamour anyone but myself.

Anyway, it was an entertaining test at home and "Like This" really smells like no other perfume I've ever tried. It is also somehow gourmand, only that the food is not dessert, but the main course. The perfume is more suitable for older women, but is not subject to seasonal restrictions. Tilda Swinton's soundfile is great and I can only recommend to listen to it.

Comfort food
Like This appears to have two distinct phases. The opening and then the rest, basically. The opening feels very 'perfumey'. Fruity floral to a certain extent with added bits of resin and tobacco. At this stage, if feels feminine and extravagant, something for a big night out.

This entree is a bit of a deception, though. As the first notes have evaporated, the composition lands in a more home-like setting. A relaxed afternoon in the kitchen, to be more precise. From this point onward, things stay on the sweeter, edible side with mostly warm spice and a gourmandish powder.

An unusual but not awkwardly odd creation. Actually kind of comfortable and pretty wearable for an ELdO.

Didn´t Like This...
I am kind of reluctant to write a negative review about a fragance just because my personal preference falls in other direction. In the case of Tilda Swinton/ Like This I guess i was expecting something else, and i was really excited about the pumpkin/ginger. Indeed they are really appealing, so are the other notes, on paper and in real life. But the high pitched, heady mandarin totally spoils it for me. The combo white flower/mandarin i have smelled so many times (pure poison, catch me, even when there is no mandarin listed: jaïpur bracelet) gives me the impression i am smelling the same juice over and over. Pretty but i don´t like it. I will never know if i would like the evolution of Like This, because after half an hour i scrubbed it under hot water and I don´t know what type of chemical reaction i triggered with the soap, the Like This and the hot water, but the revenge of Tilda came as a puke-ish waft coming from my hand.

Don´t let my words disencourage you to sample this fragance, it is girly, only slightly odd and i guess wearable, as long as you like mandarin.

Hot and freckled
When it´s cold outside and you drink a big cup of your favorite tea, you know that warmth from within feeling you got? Like This works on the same way, but obviously from the outside. I can also compare it to an exotic dish with aromatic spices and a subtle heat from chili. And that little sting in ginger ale. Yes, Like This is a foody scent which is most at home in the gourmand corner of perfumery, still it´s not sweet, cloying or heavy at all, it´s more kind of refreshingly gourmand. Since I´m usually a gourmand lover it´s not that strange that I really like Like This, but I think it could please even people not usually so much into gourmand scents as well.

Like This is a homey scent, comfy and strangely familiar. Sometimes when I wear it I get dissapointed when I realise I won´t get any freckles, since it makes me feel like I actually have freckles...

Good longevity and nice sillage without getting disturbing.

Sweet & powdery mix of carrot, pumpkin and heliotrop which make me think of the typical iris perfumes. Unisex but more Fem. Soft performance

The opening is short but interesting, salty sweet with a deep caramelisation. But the dry down is just generic sweet musky floral
