Hexenhaus

1. This is great if you love ouds (I do not). It has a strong, sweet oid as the dominant note, which overtakes the incense quite a bit. I get a little of that bready, unlit stick of nag xhampa and maybe some dragonsblood, but I’m not getting any strong incense. Certainly not a church incense. I get a little paper. I don’t get much wood beyond the very strong oud. It is well blended though, and nice as an oud fragrance. I bought it as an incense fragrance, though, and it was not that.

2. This reminds me of Magus from alkemia. It smells like high John to me. The description is very accurate, it definitely takes me to a library with old books, and old ashes from incense and a candle burning so you can read your scriptures.

3. This is uncanny. It literally smells like opening an old book, one with character that’s passed through many hands and developed a scent story of its own. I’m again reminded of the old occult bookstore I worked for, but this time amid the books instead of holed up with the herbs. It’s captured the smell of parchment well. I am suspicious that I’m projecting a little of my expectation here… Still smells like well-loved books on me though, and I am digging it! I get indistinctive incense wafting now, as if the pages have absorbed what’s been burned around them over the years. There’s a nostalgic vibe. It’s also a low-key scent, one that I could probably swing wearing to work. Like it’s there, but it’s a bit atmospheric, so it doesn’t necessarily read as PERFUME. It’s unique. Very cool.

4. Deep and woody. Smells exactly like burning incense in the middle of a library
