What does Hexensalbe smell like?

Vermouth, salty notes and liquorice give a fresh, slightly bitter opening. In the heart, belladonna, tuberose, angelica and rosemary draw a green, spicy line. Patchouli, hemlock fir and lichen settle it onto a woody, resinous and earthy base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, and leisure and evening wear come first. Votes split between masculine and feminine, so it sits close to both sides. Anka Kuş Parfüm Absinthe-Minded and WienerBlut Panasch have a close profile.
