Wednesday

I blind bought this perfume, on sale of course, for the work of art that is the bottle, and I found myself entirely heartbroken because I hated the fragrance. It smelled like a dusty old attic, the rose was harsh and green, the woods musty and the black pepper reminded me of when I over-peppered a delicious cozy soup and completely ruined it. Today, I went to do my laundry and I smelled this intoxicating, dark, syrupy, mysterious, woody rose emanating off of a sweater. I realized that this was Wednesday, after having sat for a while. So I sprayed on Wednesday to wear it for the day, and I am obsessed. I typically do love rose, woody fragrances and gourmands and judging by the notes, I thought I would love it, and that's why I was so stunned with my horrible, harsh, negative initial reaction to it. I am absolutely in love with it today though, the harshness has settled, the dark, syrupy goodness of the rose has poured in and I could not be happier. Definitely would not recommend a blind by unless you absolutely love a woody rose, but whether you sample or you go ahead and buy the bottle, let it sit for two weeks. Or if you can't wait (like me) and you spray it and find it just awful, don't be discouraged. Let it sit, appreciate the beautiful bottle for a while, then after it has rested for a while, try it out again.

Where is the cred for Wednesday?!! I typically am not a rose fan, nor a patchouli fan. IDK how this works, but it does. Seems like the norm with HOS is that their perfumes need to macerate. A few I’ve gotten haven’t been great upon receiving, and a few weeks later it smells like the sample card they sent me, which is why I purchase them. So - let this sit!! Weird description - but when I smell this, the first thing I think about is Wednesday in a dry, woody attic (so basically just like her room in the show lol). Yes, the rose is very prominent, but that woody note makes this so different and unique. I can see myself wearing this all month for Halloween lol... definitely a cold weather scent. HoS really hit the nail on the head with this. This is the epitome of Wednesday! They did equally well with the Harry Potter edition. I am so glad they sent me all these sample cards, because on paper this is nothing I should or would like, but I freaking do. It’s so moody, I love it. Also - as everyone has stated - the bottle is gorgeous.

If you're a fan of the show "Wednesday" and drawn to its intriguing titular character, this Wednesday-themed perfume might just be the unique scent you're seeking. I'll admit, my initial attraction was purely for the bottle—an homage to a show and character that resonates deeply with me. However, to my delight, the fragrance inside does not disappoint. It unfolds with a spicy, woody aroma that's perfect for the colder months, boasting impressive longevity that lets the scent linger throughout the day. While the perfume lists a rose note, to my nose, it is more of a subtle undercurrent, not taking the spotlight. Instead, the spices and woods take center stage, offering a bold, distinctive scent profile that might not appeal to everyone, but was precisely what I hoped for. For fans of Wednesday and lovers of spicy fragrances, this perfume is a gem, as unique and captivating as the character herself. With it currently on sale, it's an opportune time to add this unique fragrance to your collection.

Finally got my bottle at 50% off retail price because, let’s face it, House of Sillage is notorious for putting their stuff up for sale rather quickly...I just needed a little patience 💚 This was a successful blind buy, quite honestly. I was sure I wasn’t going to like the scent but oh my goodness, what a surprise!! This is a beautiful peppery rose with a hint of patchouli and some woodsy notes in the background...🤍💜🖤 longevity is nice several hours and such a beautiful dark rose/pepper/woods/patchouli combo!!! And the look of that bottle? Stunning 🤩✨✨✨✨✨

I get powdery patchouli with rose and wood at the base. I really like it. I would call this unisex. Surprised iris isn’t listed as an ingredient. It is mysterious, lasts a long time with moderate silage. Bottle is beautiful but I find the cap on these cupcake shaped bottles difficult to remove. I blind bought this. I’m glad I have it but it is a splurge.
