I Saw Goody Proctor With The Devil

This is a review for the perfume oil. This is now my favorite indie incense fragrance. I Saw Goody Proctor With the Devil! is a powdery, floral incense. It's more balanced as well as more feminine leaning compared to a lot of indie fragrances in the "witchy metaphysical shop type smell" vein. My other indie favorites of the sort are Hex and Sanguinaria (the latter sadly discontinued) from Alkemia. This, I would say, smells more like traditional, classic perfumery. All of the notes play well together, none outshining the others. I think I will buy the full sized EDP next time I'm in the US!

On my skin, this opens up as straight up powder, very similar to how Obsession develops on my skin. However, thankfully, as it dries, it quickly leaves behind any powder l, and turns into a smokey incense and slightly spicy soap. This is a very pleasant and warm combination on my skin. The sillage on this is minimal and stays quite close to my skin through the duration, but the longevity is fairly good at about 8 hours. As the fragrance wears on, the incense note retreats to the background, and the spicy yet soapy smell comes to the front. This is the best part on me, when the spices take over. There is still a bit of sweet smokiness, but this develops into a spicy sophisticated smell on me...very warm and attractive. It stays in this spicy and clean territory for the duration. My husband says it smells very pleasant and clean. My husband also tried this, and from the wet notes to the dry down and to the end, all we could smell was incense...a sharp and astringent kind. It never really developed on him, and you really couldn't smell it on him after a couple of hours. Definitely suited me better

This starts off strong and vibrant with echoes of tarot shops and fresh herbs. It fades quickly on me but lingers to a sweet Indian Mountain Temple incense smell.
