sharkdiver Report post Posted October 10, 2014 I haven't tried Autumn cider, but if you are looking for a real apple smell, Have you tried Poisoned apple? It starts off fresh juicy *real* apple, and as it dries the hemlock comes out more giving it more of an herbal/apple. My favorite apple scents though are: Ladon (GC) Coral Snake (Carnival Diabolique) Glittering Apple of the Stars (LE Weenie from 2011) - there were several other apples in this collection that year too, but I haven't tried them. Snow Glass and Apples (LE Gaimen) also - if you can find a fairy, you may want to see about snagging one of the event exclusives from NYCC happening now, since those scents are ALL about apples! Here's the descriptions: ONE PALE WOMAN Apple and white mint layered with tobacco flower, pink pepper, white jasmine, bourbon vanilla, orange blossom, and champaca flower. DAYLIGHT KISSING HER WAN HAIR White pear, honeyed apple, ambrette seed, star anise, and a drop of clove. THE GAS LAMPS’ FLARE Glistening red apple and a drift of dark, smoky black copal, saffron, galbanum, sweet orange rind, and myrrh. LIPS OF FLAME AND HEART OF STONE Red musk and red apple with bourbon vanilla, tobacco absolute, Indonesian red patchouli, black clove, and khus. Share this post Link to post
Wesley Jones Report post Posted October 10, 2014 Thank you for the suggestions, sharkdiver! The Gas Lamps Flare caught my eye when I saw it on the NYCC list, but Poisoned Apple sounds nice as well and is much more easily available. I've notice that some people's skin just doesn't seem to like certain notes, so I'm still concerned about whether my skin is going to make all apple notes smell like candles. I will just have to try a few more and see. Share this post Link to post
sariasister Report post Posted October 10, 2014 You might also look into Pomona (Weenie from 2012). The apple in that one really comes out on me, and it is less "floral" on me than Sjofn. Snow, Glass, Apples was my perfect apple scent. I only had one decant, though, and lost it long ago so I've been trying every LE since then trying to find a replacement. Share this post Link to post
Danielle DiFusco Report post Posted April 12, 2016 Saw this and it hasn't been updated in awhile any apple scents besides my love Poisoned Apple that is available now? Share this post Link to post
Soupy Twist Report post Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Pure Applesauce (Scalias): Our applesauce is decidedly impure: mashed apples with sugar and honey, slivered with tobacco tar and black tea. The 2015 Weenies had five Apple scents plus an Apple Cider. Punkie Night is "apple orchards and cider," but I get apple juice. Edited April 12, 2016 by Soupy Twist Share this post Link to post
vanilla323 Report post Posted April 14, 2016 The only apple that has worked for me is Beaver Moon 2012. It's the apple cheesecake one. It didn't turn soapy which is what most other Apple scents do on me. Share this post Link to post
Dark Alice Report post Posted April 14, 2016 Autumn cider smells like pure apple cider. The spice is stronger. Have you tried other Apple scents? Apple is one of my favorite notes, so if you ever have a question on Recommendations, just let me know. Share this post Link to post
torikitty Report post Posted April 14, 2016 Poisoned Apple, for sure. Punkie Night is nice, but ends up smelling candle shopey to me. Snow.Glass.Apples, good luck, I really hope the lab does another iteration of this. A few other recs I saw: Pomona, which I feel goes more towards pomegranate. Pure Applesauce is magic. Definitely look into the apples from the last weenies: http://www.bpal.org/tags/forums/Bobbing%2Bfor%2BApples/. I really like Apple 2 and Apple 5, but they are all nice. Glittering Apple of the Stars is nice, but goes soft and floral. I had forgotten about the Celestial Apples: http://www.bpal.org/tags/forums/Celestial%2BApples/. Autumn Cider smelled just like cider, which was too sweet when you want fruity. I'm really interested in Coral Snake now! Share this post Link to post
Auspicious Q Report post Posted April 20, 2016 Apple Pie is at the Trading Post in the great pie debate! Also Apple of Sodom and Verdandi from the GC. My favorite apple scents are both from 2015 Lupercalia - Venus Obsequens from the Lab and Faces Cleaving Each to Each from the Post. Share this post Link to post
theredkilt Report post Posted April 20, 2016 Apple 2 from the Halloween 2015. It's the most summery scent of the all 2015 Halloween Apples Share this post Link to post
rachelos Report post Posted September 25, 2017 The description and reviews of Ego Lux from the new Liliths has made me crave a crisp, refreshing green apple scent. I don't know if I'll like the frankincense in Ego Lux, because Becoming Thunder and Seraphim smelled like motor oil on me. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
