What does Häxan smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it reads neither distinctly masculine nor feminine.

It opens with osmanthus absolute. In the heart, oakmoss absolute and Turkish rose set up a floral and earthy balance. The base of musk and fossilised amber sweetens the scent and leaves a resinous, faintly smoky warmth, while the fresh accord keeps a light lift over it.
