Hexennacht

So far, probably my favorite Alkemia fragrance, and will most likely be my first full bottle purchase from this house. I started off with a small sample vial as part of the Magic & Mystery Sample Set, and liked it enough to order a 5 mL rollerball on the next order. Incense is something that Alkemia does exceptionally well, and Hexennacht is probably the best of their incenses that I've tried. There's no way that I could come close to identifying even 5 of the supposed 37 incenses in the blend, but they are beautiful, and it makes me exceptionally happy. I love the accord of "freshly turned spring earth" and "new grasses" (combined with all of those beautiful incenses) , which in turn, makes me one happy lady. Hexennacht 5ever <3 <3 <3

From the bottle: All kinds of mysterious, warm, spicy incense magic! On my skin: Different incense notes are easier to pick apart, although I honestly have no clue precisely WHAT I'm smelling. The earthy soil scent also comes through on the skin, but not in an overpowering way, and is especially nice if you add it to bathwater! I bought this one without sampling first, and very glad I did.

This is a gorgeously complex dirty incense perfume for the secret (or not so secret) hippie in everyone. Surprisingly, for a perfume with dirt and grass as notes, it's actually quite sophisticated. The main attraction is the 37 types of incense. It's every kind of incense you can imagine; smokey headshop incense and rich, deep resins.

gifted to me by my sibling. earthy, smoky, earthy, very patchouli; i personally LOVE it but also recognize that to some i smell like a metaphysical shop. easily overpowering if you wear too much, but i get a lot of compliments on it so i'll keep wearing it.

I do wish this frag were a little more balanced given the notes listed but it is a really great nag champa scent if that's what you're looking for (at least the 2018 edition is). On my skin, it lasts forever with my preferred silage in the summer but it's much more short lived below about 90°F. Hexxenatch layers beautifully with florals (other than tuberose imo) and it's been one of my go tos all summer long.
