Unfortunately, this one was pretty one-dimensional on me. I mostly got a lot of spices – cinnamon, ginger, and clove and a little bit of pumpkin. You could say there is some warm sugar underneath if you really look. It’s not for me.
Mostly cinnamon and other spices on me. Would work better as a candle than a perfume, IMO. Not one of my favorites.
3/10 Pumpkin strumpet – smells like a cinnamon pumpkin candle, emphasis on candle.
Freshly applied, it’s CINNNAMON CINNAMON SPICY SPICE SPICE with a sweet creamy pumpkin and caramel underneath. (Disclaimer: I amp spice, so YMMV)
The pumpkin and caramel really come to the fore during the extended dry-down (3 – 5 hours), and even at its spiciest, it’s a nice true pumpkin pie spice. I didn’t smell like a giant shot of Fireball.
Absolutely gorgeous. If you’re looking for a pumpkin that leans heavily gourmand or just want to smell like delicious, delicious fall, this is a good bet.
Pumpkin Strumpet always reminds me of ‘smores but with caramel instead of chocolate and cinnamon added to it. The Madagascar vanilla and caramelized sugar turns to gooey toasted marshmallow, and the pumpkin gives off the caramel vibe. I don’t find it true to the scent description at all but I love it. It’s one of my favourites.
