Supreme woodland witch hut vibes
Truly witchy atmospheric - a visit to the forest witch rather than the heaviness of a metaphysical shop. It really does bring to mind sitting in a warm hut and drinking a glass of magical herbal cola brewed by a sorceress. VERY Witcher 3 Velen (if you know you know).
Mugwort, cardamom, and red musk-forward. As is usual with red musk, there are elements of wild red berries, which play nicely into the other notes without being too fruit forward.
I’m super sensitive to smoke and leather (usually instant nausea for me) but here it’s only in the background and adds depth the the herbs and spice. The leather note is very worn, like a leather chair that’s absorbed the scent of its surroundings rather than a pungent fresh leather shoe. The smoke isn’t charred - no creosote.
In late stages it turns into a more mild incense, but still retains some of its earlier complexities. This is one of my favorite ‘at home’ scents, and brings a sense of creativity and intrigue to the everyday. Also great for autumnal gatherings, dinner parties (sillage is polite and moderate) and searching walks in the woods.
NOTE ON BOTTLES: The 9 score is for the 50ml, which is gorgeous.
