Owl Creek Aleworks

Smells like a malty hazelnut toffee bar. To my nose there was minimal coconut or dates, but the spices definitely come through, they're smooth and sweet. The ice cream adds a creaminess that binds everything together. The dry down is a bready caramel and pumpkin scent. This was one of my favorites!

the best way i can describe it is that it smells like a halloween candle based off of the scent of baked goods, sweet but not too sweet and smells really warm if that makes sense. like it smells really really comforting and then again it isnt overpowering or overly sweet at all. I LOVE THIS

The drydown smells like stroopwaffels! It's not overwhelmingly rich, but it's pleasant and warm, like the smell of freshly baked bread or waffle cones. It doesn't have very good throw from my skin, but since it's available as an EDP, perhaps a spray or two on the clothes would be better.

I do enjoy a nice gourmand (see Jimmy Choo), but while I appreciate this one, it's just not for me. Owl Creek Aleworks does live up to its name - it smells like visiting a brewery in that sweet time between Halloween Thanksgiving. On me, the opening is toffee and oh how I love toffee! I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist for the first 5 minutes. After that, it settles into a malty pumpkin, but more of a realistic pumpkin than the sweetened version we often get in perfumes (and drinks!) While I appreciate that the malt makes this different than most gourmands, which can often be overbearingly sweet, I'm not quite sure that brewery is what I'm going for in my perfume. I would love to smell this upon walking into a bar or even a coffee shop, so maybe it makes a better candle than perfume for me. That being said, I ordered a sample of 6 fragrances from Solstice Scents, and they're all unique and fun! Great company.

Toasty, nutty, malty goodness. Warm bread pudding with caramel drizzle and whipped cream. It's the scent of holiday dreams, rich, sweet, indulgent carbs! The opening is a bit too buttery for me but what follows is delicious. The dates and a touch of spice show up late. Blonde woods ground this gorgeous gourmand. It's so smooth and silky, reminds me of TF Tabacco Vanille but with less spice. This is a lighter, sweeter scent story. Perfectly unisex.

A lovely gourmand and does not smell like beer at all. To me, it mostly smells like rich caramelised brown sugar gingerbread biscuits. You are litteraly in a cloud some delicious baked goods scent. It gives a very comforting, almost creamy cozy scent bubble. Although if sniffing the skin from very upclose, it gives some a bit stuffy sweet cocoa powder scent, but it doesn't bother me while wearing it. Also, no weir florals or anything, it is an absolutely pure gourmand. And performance is pretty good!

An oil-based extrait with Soltice Scents' earthy DNA, the nutty, slightly sweet opening fades into pumpkin purée, dark dates, vanilla ice cream, and a bit of spice cake for a warm, autumnal, gourmand experience that lingers quietly. The house describes the "ale" note as mimicking the Sugared Pumpkin Cream Stout from Owl Creek Aleworks in historic Foxcroft, Maine.✿ Scent family: Gourmand Longevity on me: long-lasting

The caramel and hazelnut opening notes eventually give way to a dark, hoppy beer – the kind enjoyed at a long wooden table in a great hall with several roaring fireplaces. I was surprised at how dryly this finished, but thankful that it wasn't cloying. I could categorize this as unisex, slightly masculine-leaning.

Not ale in the sense of alcohol or yeast, it is a rich malt that gives body to the fragrance. Delicious buttery toffee and a sense of baked goods, I also think of hazelnut creamer. Wonderfully gourmand.

deja1sabel said it perfectly, a few reviews below. That's exactly what I get. And I wouldn't say this is masculine at all. It is Unisex, leaning feminine imo.
