Pickman Gallery: The Changeling
Blonde wood, linen swaddling, pumpkin rind, and bourbon vanilla.
In tester: wood, pumpkin, and vanilla.
Wet on skin: mmmm wood. The blonde wood here is very nice, reminds me of Glowing Vulva. Lovely vanilla, too. Yes, definitely reminding me of GV. The pumpkin kind of takes a backseat for me here, which is just as well.
Dry: oh, this is definitely lovely, and along the lines of GV, most definitely, although when it's dry, it's not as highly GV as it was before. Wood and vanilla and a hint of pumpkin. I totally was not expecting to like this, since everyone is going "pumpkin!!" but this was quite unexpected. Doesn't change much from the wet scent, although it gets smoother and a tad smokier.
Verdict: keeper!
Edited March 2013: aging this bottle have really improved throw and blending, but unfortunately for me, it's a bit too heavy on the sweet wood vibe of this blend. Unfortunately this didn't survive the recent culling.
