BLUE PUMPKIN FLOSS 2010 (LE, Halloweenie): (Company says: Puffy clouds of pumpkin candyfloss with a trickle of blackberry juice.)

In bottle: It definitely evokes carnivals. It’s pumpkin dominant, with the candy floss mostly manifesting as a sweetness in the pumpkin. It is spicy, in a cinnamon and possibly clove pumpkin pie sort of way. The blackberry is very understated. Wet: Cinnamon dominant, with pumpkin second. The blackberry is a touch stronger, but still understated. I think I like the marshmallow Pumpkin from this year’s inquisition better, though the pumpkin/cinnamon is similar. This is less sweet and more purfumey. As it warms, the blackberry modifies the pumpkin in some interesting ways. Dry; The pumkin breaks down a bit. The cinnamon and hints of blackberry mingle with what’s left of the pumpkin’s component parts. Really, the cinnamon wins. This is not really my thing, I think.
