Haunted & Bewitched

haunted & bewitched is an absolutely gorgeous and feminine fragrance. ♡ it is a feminine, ambery, and peppery fragrance that is also very sweet due to the notes of jasmine and vanilla. this fragrance is a dupe for tocca's cleopatra. i compared this fragrance to tocca's cleopatra and it smells slightly sweeter and "younger" but more or less the same. the overall vibe of this perfume is middle eastern, it smells very oriental and regal. it smells like something a princess would wear. if you have ever seen game of thrones, it reminds me of khaleesi from season 1 -- it has that earthy but sweet, feminine, powerful, and strong vibe to it that is hard to describe. the name of this fragrance perfectly matches the scent inside -- it smells like something a sorceress or psychic would wear. i am also getting notes of incense in this fragrance as well which contributes to the middle eastern feel of this. it also reminds me of karma by lush ever so slightly... it's like if karma by lush had a long-lost older sister. it's probably because they both have notes of fresh patchouli. this fragrance is beautiful but you must be a fan of oriental and incense-like scents. it's also extremely sweet and has notes of caramel. gourmand, but also floral and spicy. i absolutely adore this fragrance and it's one of the best from alkemia. ♡💌

if it weren't for the fact it causes me to break out into a rash on application i would wear this a lot more than i do; as it stands i put it on the ends of my hair and pair it with another scent (usually a straight patchouli,) which lasts literally until i shower. for the price point, you definitely get your money's worth because a little goes a long way. i can see why people rank this more as a winter scent, but it doesn't grow sour with sweat either, so if you can pull it off in warmer weather then by all means try it.

It’s delicious, mysterious, sexy, yet playful. I don’t get the red lollipop comparisons. When I first smelled this it reminded me very much of a candle store during Halloween season. After settling in room temperature for a couple days it smells much more pleasant. Dries down very nicely on my skin and seems to last a long time. Perfect for fall but honestly I would wear this scent during any season.

Another amazingly well-blended perfume by Alkemia!! Warm, sexy amber and floral (I get roses) drying down to a creamy, almost milky vanilla. Fans of gourmand would absolutely love this! Great projection as well. This is a very complex floral gourmand. Another perfume that smells like something Tom Ford would create. This will make you salivate ^^

Starts off with a strong pepper note, all the whole being sweet, warm, and delicious. Dries down to a soft, rosy caramel. This is feminine and beautiful. Not too edgy-- just spicy enough for my taste. It brings to mind autumn leaves and cashmere sweaters. I have the oil and may purchase the EDP spray.
