Brand: Moonalisa
Scent Description:
Out of the German Black Forest to punish and drag away the naughty and not nice comes Krampus!!!
Notes are: Various dry woods including birch, blended with a touch of silken white wool and suede, sweet smoldering resinous embers, with a touch of wet blackened earth!
Krampus, whose name is derived from the German word krampen, meaning claw, is said to be the son of Hel in Norse mythology. The legendary beast also shares characteristics with other scary, demonic creatures in Greek mythology, including satyrs and fauns.
The legend is part of a centuries-old Christmas tradition in Germany, where Christmas celebrations begin in early December.
Krampus was created as a counterpart to kindly St. Nicholas, who rewarded children with sweets. Krampus, in contrast, would swat “wicked” children and take them away to his lair.

I was expecting this to be a much darker scent but I was surprised at how wearable Krampus Night turned out to be. I was expecting a strong coniferous tree note of fir or pine. I see Krampus and think Black Forrest which makes me think of trees… this isn’t that. There are woods in this blend but not trees. Check out Kris Kringle for that fir tree smell I associate with Christmas and the holiday season. Back to Krampus Night… this is so easy to wear. The notes sound quite dark and assertive but meshes so well on my skin. It was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. I love to layer Kris Kringle with Krampus Night. Then I get ALL of the holiday smells that I personally associate with Christmas. I was still able to smell this on my skin at 4 hours, that’s pretty good longevity for me.
