A Witch's Valentine

TLDR Light, airy, sweet, powdery. Like opening a bag of marshmallows with a big bouquet of roses nearby. Beautiful. On paper, the rose is the star. It's overwhelmingly floral and I get none of the sweet marshmallow and white chocolate. It's on skin that this becomes a LOVE. It's sweet airy marshmallow, grounded by fresh roses. The rose curbs the sweetness on the marshmallow, making it more reminiscent of opening a new bag of jet puffed marshmallows rather than ooey gooey burnt marshmallow. Definitely a spring time gourmand. So happy to have this for the warmer months. edit to add, I ended up selling this one bc I never had the occasion to wear it. While lovely, I passed it on to someone who will get use out of it!

This is the perfect rose perfume. It's feminine and luxe, sweet and tart. This reminds me strongly of my childhood at my grandma's playing with her rose shaped soap that you pick the petals off of, so for me there's a nostalgic component too. This is rose rose rose. The way you wish rose smelled. The raspberry bite brings a tartness that prevents the rose from reading too mature. It makes it girly, young, and playful. The sweetness is chocolatey and pure sugar. I do smell the suede and it gives a roundness and grounds the perfume a bit. Overall, this is a wonderful and refreshing take on rose.

YAY Fragrantica finally put one of the best indie brands in the database!! Happy day. After sampling this one, I bought a full bottle as soon as I could, which should ship late this month, along with many other samples I got. A Witch's Valentine is like a raspberry marshmallow cloud with a hint of roses and white chocolate. It is one of the best things I've smelled, and definitely my favorite use of raspberry in a perfume, ever. If you're into gourmands, get this.

The rose scent of my dreams!! It’s creamy, cozy, and such an easy reach. The heavenly combination of fluffy marshmallows, plump raspberries, and airy chocolate complements the rose so well. It’s like taking a whiff of a milky rose drink, topped with steamed froth and drizzled with white chocolate. I’ve been using my sample religiously and I’m waiting patiently for when it restocks and I can finally buy a bottle <3

Gorgeous scent I can't get enough of! The rose note speaks to me and it tells me I have to pair this perfume with my pearl jewelry. The raspberry and marshmallow dance together oh so deliciously. When they're done, white chocolate takes the stage & just leaves you smiling all day. I think.... this is what Elaine from "The Love Witch" probably smells like when she goes to those iconic tea parties. 。゚(゚^∀^゚)゚。🩷

A tad lotion-y, a tad old school powdery scent (not overall) sweet white chocolate. Opens with a burst of bright raspberry and settles into a sweet tangy warm white chocolate. Nice 🙂 Like a warm hug or lipstick hehe DRYDOWN IS GORGEOUS raspberry creamy white chocolate. The rose accords dissipate and leave this long lasting raspberry dessert behind, I wish they made this with less rose

this is so babygirl, dainty afternoon tea course set, rose water, rose milk tea with sugar cubes. it’s so girly and powdery and cozy and just a little antique and smells like lotso and i love it. the suede gives it that perfect vintage edge. my kind of flormand!

So so so delcious. This is what ive been looking for from a rose perfume~ it s so soft, smooth, and sweet. It completely envelops me in smooth rose-y fluffiness and makes me have cute pink romantic dreams

not usually a fan of rose scents because they’re often pretty generic-smelling but this is perfect!! the gourmand, fruitiness, and floral blend beautifully, i need a full size right away.

I get rose and gourmand-y notes in this, but I also get something soapy. I was hoping it would be more like Roses Berberanza, Rose Rouge, or Parfait de Roses. It's a like, not a love.

I am not a rose scent gal but this one is sooo lovely! It feels absolutely whimsical & ethereal. It's like walking through the forest into a cottage with burning incense.

Delicious raspberry rose sweet perfume. Had a sample, and forgot I put it on, and the whole day would catch wifs and be pleased by the lovely smell. Gourmand excellence!

like glossier rose balm dot com on crack. sweet, sugary rose & marshmallows on white chocolate & suede. so very beautiful and delicious!! 10/10 fleurmand imo

Sweet powdery rose with a hint of fruits. Great for spring and summer or to wear during hot weathers. Not too strong.

This, to my nose, smells like cotton candy roses. This is a full bottle purchase for sure. Loving Sorce.

Lool how did I go from just liking this scent to wearing it everyday. New signature for me.

From my sample, which I generously sprayed on my wrist/arm, I first got a full burst of that suede note 😳 and I was repulsed 🤢 I was brave and let it stay on my skin for the whole day and thank goodness, the suede note abated as time went on. The rose, fruits and sweetness come in eventually and it’s really nice. I like it a lot and since I am a rose fiend, I was able to appreciate this fragrance a little more. However... This is more of a sweet rose. Jam-like with a looooooootttttttttt of sweetness added and if you like your rose to be floral, it’s definitely not the case in here. The suede note never really leaves either, though it becomes more of a background note as time goes, so if you do not like leather/suede in your fragrances, stay away from this one... Overall, I like this a lot. It takes you on a ride, it changes and shifts and I am definitely intrigued and will finish my sample before I decide if I’m going to commit to getting a full bottle of this one. This is definitely not blind buy safe, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you try it on your skin...

The rose here is so light, so watery, so delicate, it almost smells like rose water rather than actual rose flowers. And I'm not mad at that, because rose can be tricky! But it is a very realistic rose - More actual, homemade rose water than artificially replicated roses. The rose settles and softens in the first hour, letting the other notes emerge. It's very pretty. Certainly magical. This perfume is so much lighter and more whimsical than I expected it to be. It's a little tart and juicy from the raspberry, and as it dries down, it turns into a soft, sweet marshmallow with just a hint of watery rose peeking through. The suede in this one is very soft, very subtle, very well blended - don't let it scare you.

Rose Turkish delight. Not the cheap box kind, this smells like a delightful confectionery shop. Light, airy, sugar spun sweetness. You will get asked if you’re eating candy. I’m not typically crazy about rose or raspberry, for me it has to be done just right. This is pretty right! Not sure how full of a size worthy this is, but I will finish my sample and decide.

It’s so sweet and girly! It definitely screams valentine to me. I’d purchase a travel size bottle of this because I like it but not sure how often I’d wear it. I normally don’t gravitate towards rose scents but it’s not overpowering and I mostly smell the white chocolate and marshmallow.

A delicate rose, marshmallow, and raspberry forward scent. I don’t get a ton of white chocolate from it personally, and barely notice the suede at all. I’m glad I got to sample it, but it’s not one I would get a full size of personally.

A very nice soft and sweet raspberry and rose marshmallow scent. Wasn’t the biggest fan when i first tried it but it grew on me. I think this is quite unique I’ve never smelled anything like it.

Very sweet, jammy raspberry-rose purée folded over a white chocolate cookie and marshmallow base. Opens with a playful, sugared strawberry/cotton candy mist energy that holds up for hours.

someone said it smells like turkish delight and they're right- not sure i love the rose or suede, but i find it wearable. wish i could pick out more of the white chocolate. 3/5

I went back and forth about whether or not I liked this. I’m not a rose girly but it is blended well with the rest of the notes. A witches valentine is definitely a good name for it as I feel it smells like those red heart lollipops you get as a kid for Valentine’s Day. Ultimately I felt this smelled more like a toothache and did not buy a larger bottle. It was just a little too sweet for me. I bought full bottles of in dreams and fairytales vanilla and match made in heaven instead. It’s not bad, just not for me.

On paper, it is a powdery rose scent that reminds me of a Homesense/Marshalls. On skin, it becomes a lot deeper and the suede takes front and center. It smells like a leathery rose with a dusting of powder. Once it truly sets in on skin for about 4 hours, the raspberry puree note is the most prominent note alongside the touch of dusty rose. Very whimsical but not blind buy safe. Note: I bought the international version which is IPM

very rosey initially, the rose is still present all through out until the other notes appear i think i understand what the person below me means, the gourmands are quite faint to me and the rose is just so overpowering to my nose also it smells generic to me for some reason? it reminds me a lot of some fragrances from VS/PINK :( sorce definitely has much better releases than this

It’s okay lmao it smells like old lady to me, maybe it’s the suede? idk but it reminds me of like something my grandma would wear. maybe i can pull it off layering it with something else

this to me smells like a rosey marshmellow, i can also smell just a bit of the white chocolate too. Ultimately not my favorite as its very rose heavy but still not a bad scent

Wanted the raspberry white chocolate but the rose was too prominent for my liking. I'm not a massive fan of rose scents, only like a few. Thus sadly this one isn't for me.

I don’t know if it was just my sample, but I can hardly smell this one. It’s so faint. Odd because others don’t seem to have this issue

Fruity rose but it has an odd note to my nose that smells a bit like playdough

It’s very rose heavy, I can hardly detect anything else

powdery marshmallow with rose.

This smells like straight up alcohol to me. Like Japanese sake alcohol. I think I can smell the rose, but actually not really because I only smell the sake. There's really no sake note in here? My friends and family agree.

I... only smell suede from this? Rose, white chocolate, raspberry... I get absolutely none of that, both from the bottle and on my skin. Very disappointed as that sounds like such a beautiful note pyramid.

Hated it; it failed the heat test so badly I threw out the test cloth just in case washing it would ruin the other things in the wash load. (The heat test is spraying it on cloth and leaving it in the sun for a minute to see how it would smell on my skin when I'm in sunlight on a hot summer day here in this hot desert. I test fragrances like this because things I hate tend to also be hard to wash off my skin, and the things I hate the most, like modern superambers, only develop their horrible scent when they're heated up like they would be on skin.)

I like this a lot more than I was expecting to. I don't particularly dislike rose scents, but I don't normally go for them either. The rose with the slightly tart raspberry just pairs so well together. I'm not quite sure how to pick up the white chocolate note (as I don't feel like white chocolate has much of a scent) so I might be smelling it but unaware of it? On my skin, it's a bit strong, so I have to use it sparingly. I don't know if I'd get a bottle of it, but I'll definitely use up my sample.

I received this in my Sorce order as a sample. I thought I would really enjoy it when I looked up the notes, but the rose is just too prominent for my nose. I enjoy sweet, gourmand, fruity, scents and this one is super powdery. The main notes that I smell are: rose, white chocolate, and suede. This would be perfect for someone who wants powdery, and sweet scents. This is a very complex perfume, and it WOULD be pleasant to most noses, just not mine.

This is nothing like what I expected. I thought A Witch's Valentine would be somewhat similar to Akro Crush in the sense that the rose would figure prominently while surrounded by sweet, gourmand notes. On my skin this smells like pink pixie sticks. The vanilla and/or sugar is so sweet it comes across as boozy, even slightly fizzy/bubbly, and the rose is not a standout note. It's a playful perfume but I think I've outgrown it by about 20 years.

i did not think i'd like this as much as i did, and i'm so happy that i've fallen in love with it ! for me, rose fragrances can be a hit or miss (mostly miss). this one though.... the raspberry puree and white chocolate with the rose all together is like one of the best things i've ever smelled. if you're on the fence about liking rose fragrances TRY THIS. it might change ur life forever

truly one of the worst perfumes i’ve ever tried on and im so sad about it. it smelt great on the tester strip, the notes are heaven to me. on my skin, this smells like wet dog or a dog that got shampooed but still smells like wet dog. so vile and disgusting i had to scrub it off.

I looove Moroccan rose! This is great. I knew it would be. Moroccan rose has this dry feel to it, almost like dried rose petals, and that combo with raspberry and marshmallow is beautiful. Feels like Valentine’s Day. Feels like pink and red hearts everywhere. 🥰

Unfortunately not my taste / didn't mesh with my skin chemistry. Detectable notes are as described. The rose is very dry and powdery and I'm learning I prefer a dewier rose, combined with the gourmand vibes from the white chocolate is just not for me.

Why is no one saying this smells EXACTLY, IDENTICAL to plasticine. I just can’t un-smell it, all I smell is plasticine from when I was a kid in school. Not play doh, but regular plasticine

Not as brilliant as In Dreams in Fairytales by this brand. It's a little sour on my skin, so I think the skin chemistry factor is at play. Fluffy and sheer. 7/10

A beautiful blend of rose, marshmallow, raspberry, and white chocolate. It feels soft, sweet, perfectly balanced and really enjoyable to wear.

This is a nice jammy rose scent. It's Manakara's younger sister. I wear this when I want to be more casual.

getting lychee idk, must be the fruity notes
