In the bottle...
In the bottle it smells very sweet, almost like buttery marshmallow, with an overtone of something green. I was surprised at the lack of spiciness in the initial smell, but read on...
On my skin...
When I put this on my skin, I get all of the spiciness I had hoped for. It really smells like Halloween, and appropriately for Halloween, a bit artificial. I feel like I'm trick-or-treating again, walking up to a house with my plastic pumpkin bucket, candles burning on the porch inside the jack-o-lanterns.
This is a fairly strong scent. I don't find it to be too foody for me, and I am happy that it doesn't have any perfumey tones (like baby powder). I keep it at work and use it when my sweet tooth is calling for a nonexistent snack.
