ANDREA MAACK X ENTRANCE

Andrea Maack's website calls Entrance "the best incense you can buy in a spray bottle" and while I doubt that I agree it's the "best" incense, I definitely am surprised not to find it listed in the official notes for this fragrance. It instantly felt like an incense perfume to me as soon as I sprayed it on my wrist and smelled it for the first time. Now, after a few hours have passed, I am starting to hate Andrea Maack for creating such unique and interesting fragrances. Every damn time I go to a store to buy a specific one I liked from her brand I end up wanting the others too! Entrance is magic. Citrusy in the opening but smokey and spicy in the dry down. It's slightly sweet, woody and a little animalic, from my perception. I can smell saffron, geranium and pepper but also something that strangely reminds me of coffee. Beautiful unisex composition, lasts 3+ hours and has a decent projection. If you are in Iceland I don't see a problem wearing this all year around, as the summers here are not too hot. I just bought Craft but now I want the full size of Entrance because it's another cool take on gothic churchy scents which I absolutely adore.

This is a warm, ambery, vetiver scent to my nose. It's not identical to Lune Feline or Bewitching Yasmine, but it's in the same family of fragrances. It reads a little less sophisticated than those two, but it's still a very pleasant late-autumn scent. I primarily smell the vetiver, amber, and vanilla, with some nutmeg and a little cedar. I don't get geranium, saffron, pepper, bergamot, or coriander. It doesn't seem like a "spicy" scent to me, just warm, cozy, and vanilla-sweet. I think this the scent I have liked the most of those I have tried from Andrea Maack so far. I don't think I disliked any of them, but nothing moved me. This is not exactly unique, but it's done well and is quite pleasant. 8/10.

Beautiful every season all day wear. Bright fresh in the opening sending positive vibes...the mid turns woody and a hint of sweetness that is extremely well rounded. The dry down is where the magic happens you still get waves of the freshness but the warmth and sweetness comes through. The longevity on my skin is around 8 to 12 hours and a decent sillage. The balance of this fragrance is what makes it so unique and elegant. Really enjoying this when I want something really fresh seductive and universal for all seasons.

the first time I sprayed this on myself for a dinner/night out, i found myself just smelling my wrists the entire night. I want to drink this bottle. it's warm and spicy but not in a yummy winter blanket way at all- in an alluring, witchy, practical magic, mysterious way. to me it smells like like ordering a citrusy drink from a bar on halloween, you're wearing all black, and a tiny bit of cigarette smoke is floating through the window

This is truly a masterpiece. It opens strong and spicy, almost medicinal, but as it dries down you get this soft, sweet, complex vanilla with hints of leather and spices. I find it addictive and like most of her perfume it is quite strong/beast mode. I think this is more of a fall/winter perfume.
