Hekate · 2021

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Hekate Yang is a unisex fragrance that sets a sweet, gourmand character against spice, resin and earth, and it suits autumn and winter evenings. Most voters pick winter and fall, and summer is rarely chosen. It is named most often for evenings, leisure time and nights out. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though these ratings rest on few votes. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it reads as neither one nor the other. Cinnamon and marzipan give a sweet, spiced start, softened by vanilla and musk. Labdanum and frankincense add a resinous warmth, while patchouli and vetiver bring an earthy, faintly smoky depth.
