Pumpkin Spice Absinthe

Again, thank you to a super generous BPALer who let me test these from her bottle. You're amazing, and thank you!

So, PSA starts off with all of the glorious pumpkin spice you can want. Clove, allspice, and a touch of cinnamon, and then the absinthe starts to peep out. The spice recedes, and I would put it more as a spicy absinthe, in which I get lemon and mint top notes, followed by hyssop, anise, and allspice. It's actually a strange mashup that I do like. I would call this smoothly blended. Medium throw, great wear length.

So if you like spicy and/or herbal blends, give Pumpkin Spice Absinthe a whirl. It's strangely fall like, and yet green at the same time.

Got this in a swap...surprised there aren't more reviews!! So, I tend to love anything pumpkin...wasn't sure about absinthe, but here goes nothing!

 

In the bottle - Smells lovely. There is that yummy Lab pumpkin spice scent.... there is something lurking in it... the green fairy?

 

On skin - At the first quick sniff, it *almost* smells like Snakes in the Pumpkin Patch. but only for a brief second. The absinthe comes out right away for me. The pumpkin is there, but the licorice/absinthe note is starting to take over... in a strong way.

 

Dry down - Hmm....not sure this is for me. If the pumpkin was more prominent, I might like this, but it isn't there enough for my liking. There is something a hair masculine about this.... oh well.... sadly not for me. Off to swaps!

Hnnnnnngh, This is SO GOOD.

 

It starts out with a lovely buttery caramel pumpkin, with warm spices making it a very sweet pumpkin note. This dies to the back and blends perfectly with the absinthe, giving it a sweeter fall tinged absinthe, and complementing each other perfectly. I don't even have words but this is so good on my skin, and lasts a decent amount. The initial pumpkin is very strong but do not be afraid to slather, the absinthe ending is much subtler, and all in all makes a sweet and intriguing scent.
