A spooky kind of comfort
Known for their atmospheric scents, Baba Yaga became my first love from Sixteen92. The scenario painted is a lone witch in her cabin, with drying herbs hanging above a gentle fire. The dragon's blood, while the most prominent note, is complimented by the dirt note into balance the incense. After about a half an hour of wear, the wood smoke peaks out along with the dried herbs (I personally smell sage). It becomes a very cozy smell (for a witch ;) ).
The throw is stronger than some of Sixteen92's other earth based perfumes, but since this is a perfume oil and not an EdP it never becomes overpowering/offensive. My skin tends to eat up scents without a fixative so the throw would be more prominent on someone without this issue. It lasts for about 6 hours with a gradual fade throughout if I were to not wear a fixative. If you are a lover of atmospheric/nature/woody scents, this is certainly worth exploring.

Seductive and fiery
If Medea from Greek literature had a specific perfume, I imagine she would be wearing this or something extremely similar. This is a strong incense perfume, but there is also a spike of pepper and fire that eventually turns into smoldering coals (likely the Egyptian kyphi and wine contribute to that). The throw on me is moderate, which in reality means it's probably incredibly strong since my skin eats up scents.
On my skin personally, the orange blossom honey and wild berries never came out, but that is something I imagine would change person to person. Also, with the benefit of it being a perfume oil, I can pour a little into my wax warmer, which makes my home smell like a temple. Overall, this is a lovely scent that I would happily purchase again.
