BBC-The Big Black Cat Perfume Oil

Preliminary notes: Is it gonna smell like a fall candle? Let’s find out. Much like High Tea, I initially got a free sample of this in my first Possets parcel, so this review was written when I tried the sample.DH’s preliminary notes: Sounds like a movie night at my house when I was a teenager.In bottle: So. Fucking. Buttery. I love it. The spices are a bit in-your-face, but I can live with that. This smells delicious. It does veer into fall candle territory a bit, but I’m not opposed to that at all. This is one hell of an autumnal gourmand.DH’s thoughts: Certainly is pungent. Makes me think about food again, like some kind of cake. Maybe a pound cake. There’s something creamy in there too. And something like, a wood table?On skin: Much the same, but the spices blend into the caramel and cream enough to calm down a bit. The caramel and cream notes never go plasticky or sour on me, which is fantastic. I immediately full sized this after skin testing. Love, love, love. This may very well be my holy grail caramel scent.DH’s thoughts: Smells completely different on you. That smells like you’re eating a cake at your grandma’s house *points at sample vial*, and now it smells like bath bombs. It lost its potency. It lost all of its food notes. (This made me sad and I disagree with it, but scent is subjective. I don’t regret full sizing it and will wear the hell out of it regardless)Verdict: 5 luscious Halloween treats out of 5. I absolutely adore this and want to bathe in it. Instant win for me.
