ESSNCE Drunk Apple Pie — a gourmand character with woody depth
ESSNCE Drunk Apple Pie is a 2023 eau de parfum from ESSNCE, a Swedish brand that creates unisex, women's and men's fragrances.
The composition is designed for women and men, immediately making an impression with its rich, warm and expressive character.
The fragrance profile combines gourmand and woody accents, so Drunk Apple Pie comes across as more than just a sweet perfume: it is a full-bodied composition with character.
The name evokes an image of a spiced apple dessert, yet the stated pyramid unfolds through a more complex alliance of coffee, cognac, cinnamon, praline, vanilla and noble woody nuances.
As a result, the fragrance balances appetizing sweetness with a deep, slightly boozy character.
It will appeal to those who enjoy noticeable compositions with an impressive sillage and are not afraid to be the center of attention.
The fragrance's development and mood
The top notes of coffee and cognac create a dense, warming opening.
The coffee accord adds a dark bitterness and velvety texture, while the cognac nuance makes the scent softer, rounder and more sensual.
Within the first few minutes, the fragrance gives the impression of a rich evening perfume.
Cinnamon, tonka bean and oak emerge at the heart.
Cinnamon reinforces the association with homemade baking and spiced apple pie, tonka adds creamy sweetness, and oak supports the composition with a dry woody nuance.
Thanks to this transition, Drunk Apple Pie does not turn into a monotonous dessert accord and retains its striking contrast.
The base is built around praline, sandalwood and vanilla. Praline enhances the fragrance's appetizing side, vanilla makes the finish warm and cozy, while sandalwood adds creamy woodiness.
Oak, sandalwood and sweet notes gradually merge into a soft, long-lasting cloud that smells especially beautiful in cool weather.
Sillage, seasonality and wearability
According to the database, ESSNCE Drunk Apple Pie has very strong sillage.
It is therefore well suited to evenings, dates, festive occasions or atmospheric walks during the cooler seasons, when spicy and gourmand notes unfold with the greatest fullness.
In hot weather, its intensity may feel particularly pronounced.
No precise recommendation for the number of sprays on skin or clothing is provided.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to assess the fragrance gradually, starting with a small application and taking into account the temperature, the size of the room and your personal sensitivity to sweet compositions.
On skin, Drunk Apple Pie will smell more individual, while its warm trail may last longer on fabric.
Similar fragrances and ESSNCE's style
In terms of mood, Drunk Apple Pie can be compared with By Kilian Angels' Share, as well as By Kilian Angels' Share Paradis and By Kilian Angels’ Share Body Spray.
These fragrances share an interest in sweet, spicy and boozy nuances, but ESSNCE Drunk Apple Pie focuses on a coffee-and-dessert opening and a pronounced woody base.
It is an excellent choice for those looking for an expressive unisex perfume with a gourmand mood, strong sillage and a warm, evening character.
