Mooncake

at first all i could smell was a buttery soft pretzel. like straight up photorealistic auntie anne's. not necessarily a bad thing but kinda weird... after about an hour a lot of the buttery & maltyness disappeared and it was a lot sweeter and more enjoyable.

After testing Mochiglow's gourmand fragrances, I finally realized that straightforward gourmands just aren't my thing. On the initial spray, I can genuinely pick up many of the notes listed in the composition: maple syrup, buttery sponge cake, and walnut. But within just a few minutes, it all blends into a generic sweet vanilla scent that reminds me of Bath & Body Works' fall candles - those pumpkin pie, maple syrup, and vanilla collections. I completely understand why so many people love fragrances like this. That said, I still rate this one higher than the popular White Rabbit. I found it more pleasant and less overwhelming, but I simply don't want to smell like a cozy three-wick fall candle.
