Lost in the Woods

This is one of the few "dark and witchy" fragrances I've tried that I feel really lives up to the hype. I get mostly moss and galbanum, with a hint of warm vanilla that only really comes out when I wear this on my skin. Otherwise, this scent reads as very cold to me. Like getting lost without a flashlight in a dense forest on an unseasonably chilly and misty summer night. It smells very natural and atmospheric. And a little bit unsettling.

This has excellent longevity and projection. You will literally radiate forest witch energy. Baba Yaga-core. Not a safe blind buy.

Granny Weatherwax Realness

I’ve been looking for a naturalistic “witch in the woods” scent for a long time, but all the recommendations I’ve tried up to this point have been overly heavy patchouli and incense bombs.

This is dark green and woody and mossy and damp and earthy and resinous and slightly sweet in a completely natural way.

Everything is balanced, every note has a purpose, and there’s no patchouli or incense in sight.

Yes, you’re a forest witch, but you’re a sensible one who has a collection of medicinal plants in your tidy cottage and a habit of giving people what they need instead of what they want.

Projection is initially on the high end of moderate but settles down after about 30 min. Longevity is solid, a good 8+ hours. Fragrance is completely unisex.

10/10, five stars, amazing work.

A hungover Witch-King of Angmar

I’ve received so many samples of Andrea Maack's Coven from Luckyscent over the years and for some reason I can’t recall any of my previous thoughts on it....which I interpret to mean that it never really impressed me as especially good or bad. This time, however, it’s really left an impression. With notes of soil and moss, Coven is meant to embody a shadowy woodland walk, and I think it's clear the results are pretty divisive. One reviewer notes, and I am paraphrasing here, that it smells like dumpster juice. My own partner thinks it smells like an exploded car battery. I can’t deny that there is a sickly sweet rot at play here, like the dark shadows of Dol Guldur slowly encroaching the Greenwood forest as the feral wizard Radagast the Brown watches in horror while the vegetation blackens and decays before his eyes and many of his beloved animal friends are sick or dying. As it dries, the whiskey becomes apparent, and a strange, sour cumin note emerges to combine with the mossiness and the sense of black mold and mildew and it conjures a sort of hungover Witch-King of Angmar, badly in need of a bath.

Mysterious cottage in the woods

I have a 2ml tester of this, recommended by a niche perfume store. On first spray, I was not expecting to smell cocoa butter and shea butter in an oil burner that has just a hint of residue left from some magnolia and complex woody essential oil blends deepened over years of use. To be honest I was a little trepidatious that this would be feminine with a hint of forest just for edginess but not really unisex at all, because of the name. But I can see why it's described as unisex, it smells like well moisturised skin and piping hot marsala wine in an old cottage kept fresh with thoughtful use of dried plants - and I can totally see some sensible witches being responsible for such a scenario. I am getting a lot more sweetness and oiliness and warm spice than I expected, and FAR less realistic botanical greenness or wood. The oakmoss comes through a tad, but not in the mossy forest bog creature way I guess I was hoping for. I definitely feel more like a mysterious suave ghost and an elegant cottage witch on a date on a warm autumn night than I feel like a genderless dryad. Initial drydown is slightly musky but still warm sweet butters. Must wait to see how it develops.

Edit: it develops into a hot oil bath infused with moss and lichen and sips on a sweet and ever-so-slightly bitter digestif, and it lasts reliably for 8-10 hours as a skin scent you (and anyone close enough to you) can huff when you need a mood lift of a hug-like boost of strength. It's not what I thought I was looking for, but it's one I would be delighted to add to my collection.

And again...

Are you ready for the millionth sort of post-modern “soil-concrete” scent squeezing the desperate hell out of an idea which was barely enough for one scent? Yay. Coven opens with a particularly irritating smell of something halfway uncooked rice and damp paper on a rather confused sort of earthy-spicy-floral base accidentally spilled on wet soil. And so remains for a while. But when you’re almost ready to let the last bit of hope go, there’s a nice slow transition revealing a sort of weightless, synthetic floral-green heart with a warm albeit rather cheap sort of tobacco-infused designer woody-boozy feel (that reminds me so clearly of a scent I can’t remember at the moment – maybe Versace Man on steroids). Overall decent, but basically it evolves from a boring wannabe avantgarde thing, to a boring ordinary designer thing. Either it’s genius or...

5/10
