BABA YAGA (Marchen ): (Company says: Spell-soaked herbs and flowers, cold iron, broom twigs, bundles of moss and patchouli root, and moth dust. )

In bottle: This is rich and sharp, very floral and herbs. It almost smells like dragon’s blood, but the oil is the wrong colour and it’s not listed, so it can’t be.the patchouli is not dominant, but creates a heady effect with the iron. The moss is making the sharpness, I think. It’s quite interesting, but I think it may be a bit much for me. Wet: The moss and patchouli blend better with the twigs and the florals soften. It’s a lot better on my skin that I was expecting, though it’s now maybe too soft. Dry: This reminds me of popourri, mixed with patchouli and something sharper and brighter. It’s interesting, but not really right for me, I think.
