    Like darkling, I wasn't too impressed by this. To me, it just smells very weakly of almonds, both in the bottle and on the skin, and the scent is very faint even when freshly applied. Staying power is nil. Drat, because I really wanted to love this one!

    Just got my imp of this. I thought for SURE that I'd love it - the description is pretty much everything I like in a fragrance - and was considering buying a 5mL of this unsmelled before deciding against it. Thank God I did. I put a dab of this on and was SO overwhelmed by how strong and sharp this was that I actually almost threw up, even after frantically scrubbing it off. This didn't smell at all like pumpkin to me, or like anything sweet, just sharp, sharp spice. I just opened the imp again to try to give it another chance for this review, and the nausea came back right away. A little oil got on my fingers, and even after another very thorough scrubbing, with lots of heavily-scented soap, the smell still won't go away. I seriously just had to spend ten minutes sitting with my head between my knees, praying that I wouldn't throw up, and I'm afraid to let my fingers anywhere near my face in case I get another whiff. I've loved BPAL and the scents I've tried so far, but I've never had such a strong reaction to a perfume before. Yikes.
