Reddit: So good! on first sniff, it reminds me a lot of Foxcroft Fairgrounds (Solstice Scents). There's a sweet, fried dough element that they share, despite no distinct notes of that here…could be part of the "boardwalk" vibes. There's a hint of spice from the cider, sweetness from the spun sugar, and just a hint of the cannabis. I don't fully get the nag champa until it is totally dry, although it's lurking there, and that's the point where i like the scent the best. There is a night air element in this that is very similar to what i like (but can't quite describe) in youth gone wild, boardwalk, and several other S92 scents. When this scent dries, it is incredibly authentic...it really does evoke the smell of a boardwalk carnival, after the lights are off and everyone has gone home. I have a FS of this already, but would absolutely purchase one if i didn't.
Indie cent Library: This is one of the more unique scents I’ve tried. It gives me the feel of a night carnival but horror themed. The cannabis and spun sugar/cider notes were most prominent at first, and with wear I have an interesting but lovely blend of melted ice cream and nag champa.
Indie Scent Library: The spun sugar and ice cream in this one come across on my skin as vaguely vanilla, spiced by the cider and mellowed by the cannabis flower and nag champa. The scent lasts a decently long time and though it has a strong initial throw it dries down a little closer, only noticeable from average one-on-one conversation distance. This really does bring to mind a carnival after all the little kids have gone home and teenagers are hanging around.
