Spiced apple... with a surprise twist!

I'd heard a lot about this on TikTok, Reddit, and fragrance groups. I didn't want to buy into the hype, since bottles are getting harder and more expensive to find - but my curiosity got the better of me, as I'm a sucker for anything "spiced apple".

The bottle alone is beautiful - heavyweight, thick glass with the gilded fortune-telling theme. The cap feels like a spray-painted plastic, but it's still a nice design overall.

Now, onto the fragrance: it isn't at all what I expected! Instead of a sweet apple, it's very distinctively a Granny Smith - the tart green that packs a punch to your senses.

The tartness is well-balanced with a light drizzle of caramel, a splash of coconut milk, and plated with a sprinkle of sage atop a spiced Biscoff cookie. There's a hint of soft pear slices in the background - but the green apple, creamy coconut milk, earthy sage, and spiced cookie stand out most to my nose.

All of the notes combined bring to mind a poisoned apple: the glossy green skin inviting a bite, and dipped deceptively in a sheer caramel glaze... it LOOKS sweet, but you're in for a mouth-puckering surprise! The whole scent screams Halloween to me, and I can't wait to wear it when the weather cools.

P.S. If the green apple in this is too tart for you, Moon Spiced Apple has a somewhat similar (but sweeter + creamier) scent profile.
