In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Wheel by Andromeda's Curse opens with warm butter and salty popcorn before melting into melted caramel and crisp candy apple. Soft woodsy notes and light vanilla ground the sugary sweetness on skin. Built for crisp autumn days, it delivers a carnival gourmand scent profile that feels playful without turning synthetic.
