Baba Yaga

Incredible quality oils are used in this perfume. I am a man whose skin barely reacts to any fragrance, so I always have to purchase extracts (pure parfums are not enough), but somehow, this is the only fragrance where I would rather go with eau de toilette than parfum; it is so potent but just enough where it's not overbearing. The owner made sure everything was as high quality as possible; even the 2ml samplers come in heavy glass, which I've never seen before, but you can see they did not skimp on any part of the production of their fragrances. It has a classic smell, which some might call "old" or old-fashioned, but because of the pure quality of essences used, I think this still stands out and is easily wearable today. Unfortunately, Suleko's fragrances all lean more feminine, and I don't see a guy pulling this off unless he is alone at his house. I won't be purchasing, but if I wanted a classy or lonesome woman to have a high-quality fragrance, I would get her this. If anything, buy the sampler kit for 20 USD. Its an amazing purchase that I will still cherish and keep smelling because of its high quality and uniqueness. It brings me nostalgia when everything was made with class and to last.

Fragrantica please add black bottle (edt) Suleko Baba Yaga to the library. After trying hundreds of perfumes, I finally found the perfume I was looking for. This perfume is now my signature perfume. I tried Cécile Zarokian's perfumes Private Label, Remember Me, Tango and Djelem. None of them appealed to me except Pivate Label (Old Batch). Baba Yaga is a different story. This wonderful perfume is unique and indescribable. I bought the white bottle (edp), the black bottle (edt) and the Talisman set (edp). I still don't see enough, I need more bottles, but my budget is limited. The porcelain bottles of perfumes are really great, but I don't like the boxes. A more elegant box design that reflects the beauty of this perfume should have been chosen. Including talisman boxes. Suleko uses really high quality essences in its perfumes. For example, although I didn't like Djelem, the other Suleko perfume I tried (I think it appeals to older women), I easily noticed the quality essences in its content. A mystical beauty wandering in the forest in autumn, fascinating...

Opens with juniper, was hoping for orange, it is there it is quite subtle, and not really a sunshine orange juice kind of orange either but one that is darker and has more body to it. Get a hint of pepper. A little pachouli just in the background. Mostly juniper though. Very slight touch of leather. The juniper leans more to the plant than to the berry- kind of piney quality to it. Doesnt make me think of Baba Yaga at all except for maybe the woods. Makes me think much more of the American Southwest, which is where my familiarity with juniper comes from even though it’s more a Northern plant. Juniper breeze was my mother’s favorite scent so it also makes me think of her taking us kids to the great salt lake while wearing that.

It's my favorite of the four. I love this perfume house. Everything is deeply embedded in imagination. I agree that this perfectly captures the scent of autumn, but it goes further than that. It has some reminiscence with Djelem without the carnations, as though the two fragrances capture the same place during different seasons. It's very dry, a bit spicy, very aromatic, citrusy, fresh, all very natural. Like the others, it repeatedly opens itself up into new layers. I find the use of notes here to be really unique and wonderful combinations. I don't know what it is precisely but I really love this line of fragrances and know I will be buying a fortune in sample sizes to have around. 8.5/10

Smelling the edp, it is a very pleasant, herbal perfume. I was expecting more forest type of a green, but it really is more herbal than foresty. It is very well made, but I keep wishing it would be edgier. It is missing a little something to make it more interesting. Edit: I have now also tested edt. I don't remember edp that well anymore, but this is maybe a bit more aromatic. Although luckily citruses are not too prominent even in the edt. I have to say that I like this more than I remembered
