With notes of soil and moss, Coven is meant to embody a shadowy woodland walk, and I think it's clear the results are pretty divisive. One reviewer notes, and I am paraphrasing here, that it smells like dumpster juice. My own partner thinks it smells like an exploded car battery. I can’t deny that there is a sickly sweet rot at play here, like the dark shadows of Dol Guldur slowly encroaching the Greenwood forest as the feral wizard Radagast the Brown watches in horror while the vegetation blackens and decays before his eyes and many of his beloved animal friends are sick or dying. As it dries, the whiskey becomes apparent, and a strange, sour cumin note emerges to combine with the mossiness and the sense of black mold and mildew and it conjures a sort of hungover Witch-King of Angmar, badly in need of a bath.
If the cigarette-skewing galbanum in Nightclubbing were to lose the cigarette element and instead be a brasher, bolder rendition of galbanum, it would be very similar to this. Very interesting perfume!

Love this green but warm unique scent. Theres something about it that makes me able to focus better and enhances mental clarity for some reason. The dry down warms up but the beginning reminds me of clawing ones way out of a grave and being alive with heightened senses in a forest 😄
