Lovecraft

I was expecting a lavender base warmed by spiced pumpkin. Unfortunately all I get is a massive amount of nutmeg. Like taking a deep breath out of a nutmeg jar from the spice cabinet. If I concentrate, I can discern a medicinal lavender note far in the background. But that’s quickly taken over by more nutmeg. On the plus side, the fragrance is very long lasting. If you like nutmeg, or want to bring out a nutmeg note from another perfume this would be a good choice. But if you are looking for lavender, pumpkin or a blend of fall spices, this isn’t it.

I was so excited to try this one since i like lavender and it was one of the top sellers from this indie perfumer. Unfortunately, this one didn't work for me....I love the initial top notes of lavender and spicy pumpkin, but that soon developed into a single base note of cinnamon for me :-( Update: Okay, so I let this oil rest a while and revisited it several times since my original trial of the scent. I am updating this to 5 stars! It is beautiful on my skin in the Fall weather...It is the perfect amount of pumpkin and lavender, and I think sometimes lavender just soaks into my skin so well that I feel like it's no longer there, but it definitely is on this one. Both the lavender and pumpkin stick around in the basenotes of this scent.
