by Solstice Scents
This gourmand fragrance by Solstice Scents evokes a warm, baked kitchen in autumn, with prominent notes of cinnamon, caramel, vanilla, and pumpkin. It unfolds like a rich, spicy candle—reminiscent of gingerbread, pumpkin pie, and sweet pastry dough—with a subtle smoky undertone that adds depth. While some describe it as perfectly balanced and comforting, others note it veers into overwhelming sweetness and spice, particularly with cinnamon and smoke dominating the composition. The scent lingers well, especially on fabric, and many find it most enjoyable during fall and winter, yet the intensity can be irritating or headache-inducing for sensitive wearers. It is not subtle, nor is it refined like a traditional perfume—instead, it leans into the cozy, candy-like aesthetic of seasonal candles, making it ideal for lovers of sweet, atmospheric scents rather than those seeking discretion or elegance.
