Corvin's Apple Fest

Just yummy fall goodness, after Halloween, before the holidays: warm fires, apple cider, pie and the smell of tasty baked treats with plenty of butter. This is utterly gourmand and for some reason very pleasant to lay on right before I go to bed. Dreams of sugar plums...

This is in your face apple pie. I like it for late August through early December. Very gourmand and sweet. I feel like I might like the other version that's a bit smokier more, but I haven't tried it yet. I think this would benefit from some cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of "leaves" or oud because it's just a tad on the too sweet side for me. It's quite pleasant for a candle or something, but on my skin, it's a bit too much. Can't complain though - it's quintessential apple festival for sure!

I didn't care for the opening apple at all, it was very Yankee candle. After about 15 min or so, the apple fades and whats left is a buttery, caramel-y pastry with just a hint of apple. My 7 year old daughter adores it. On its own it's way too sweet for me, but I think it works well to layer with other fall scents that could use a sweet/gourmand note.

You get lots of apples at the opening but they fade away after time. Surprisingly this isn’t an apple centered scent despite the name which was a bummer. It’s still really enjoyable, as vanilla takes over pretty quickly and blends with caramel notes. Dry down is a vanillic flaky pastry scent.

Green granny Smith apple with cake and a little cream for the first twenty five minutes of so. A very realistic caramel then kicks in and lingers a long time. Makes me want to lick my wrists.

Very realistic apple pastry. Makes me hungry every single time I wear it. Pure gourmand. Similar to a high quality candle. Dry down loses all the fruit but is sweet and smooth, very round. Still 100% edible. If this had some woods to ground it, or a hint of apple blossom to keep it fresh, it'd be more wearable for me.

i kinda get the sticky sweet caramel green apple, but the apple fades too fast and when its here its more like a yankee candle than the real thing

At first it smells like a delicious apple vaping aroma but it disappears within minutes. All that is left is sweet and very lingering and offensive aroma. Not enough apple and not at all tangy to make me like it even the slightest. One of the few I had to wash off.

This is not an attractive apple scent, in my book. The caramel overpowers the apple and smells a bit old or dank. It needs a bit more fresh apple scent to balance it out. However, it's imaginable that others might find this appealing.

I’m very on the fence with this one. On opening, it’s completely the green apple dipped in caramel in candle form. I’m not saying that as a bad thing, some candles smell divine and it shouldn’t be exclusive to wax. But I agree there’s something almost sickly sweet about this one. I wish it weren’t the case. I will retest in fall and winter, maybe it won’t be so cloying then. I pulled Jany Soradora and i reminded me exactly of this. For the price, Solstice Scents wins by miles and miles.

This one was way too sweet for me so I had to wash it off. Im not particularly into overly sweet perfumes though and some caramels just rub me the wrong way. I think someone into sweets would dig it, though. Bit on the candle side of things.
