Bourbon Street

Hexennacht

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Hexennacht Bourbon Street is a sweet, gourmand women's fragrance that turns spicy and woody as it deepens. Fried dough, cocoa and coffee form a sweet, creamy core, and cardamom adds a spicy edge to it. Pipe tobacco and mahogany bring a dry, woody backdrop that tempers the gourmand side. The few voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the sample is small and the picture is not conclusive. It is marketed to women. Chris Collins Sweet Taboo and Theodoros Kalotinis Coffee Addict have a close profile.

At October's Table

7.9

Hexennacht · 2021

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Hexennacht At October's Table is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent, creamy at its core, with spice and smoke keeping it from turning plain. Its longevity and sillage both come across as good, though the number of votes is small. There are no season or occasion votes, so it's best not to pin it to one time of year. As a unisex scent, it sits comfortably on a man or a woman. Roasted marshmallow, vanilla and tonka bean build a sweet, creamy base. Cassia, nutmeg and clove add the spice, with pumpkin softening it. Beeswax and woody notes balance the sweetness with a faintly smoky warmth. The notes have no top, heart and base split; the scent reads as a single whole from start to finish.

Arsenic

7.8

Hexennacht

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Hexennacht Arsenic is a sweet, gourmand fragrance for women, where spice and a creamy texture sit together. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good by those who voted, though the number of votes is small, so the impression is tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, so little can be said about when it suits best; it is described as a feminine scent. The notes read as one whole rather than in layers: sugar powder, biscuit and buttercream bring the sweetness, and vanilla softens it. Masala chai and pumpkin add a spiced warmth. Bath & Body Works Warm Butter Cookie and Karzaz French Macaron have a close profile.

Fallen Angel

6.9

Hexennacht · 2018

Fresh · Aquatic · Green

Hexennacht Fallen Angel is a fresh, earthy unisex scent that sets rain and mountain air accords against damp soil and granite. The notes have no top, heart and base split; the scent keeps one mood from start to finish: rainy, cool and stony. Petrichor and damp soil give the feel of wet ground, ivy adds a green edge, and granite brings a dry, mineral hardness. Among the accords, fresh and aquatic tones blend with green and earthy ones, while the synthetic and resinous sides stay in the background. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. It reads best on cool, cloudy, wet days. It is neither masculine nor feminine. Hexennacht Elemental and Andromeda's Curse Tempestarii have a close profile.

Lavender London Fog

6.6

Hexennacht

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Hexennacht Lavender London Fog smells like its name suggests: a sweet, creamy gourmand built from lavender syrup, Earl Grey tea, milk and vanilla. The scent moves as one piece from start to finish. A floral lavender sweetness meets the lightly citrusy edge of Earl Grey tea, while milk and vanilla soften it into a creamy base. Fruity and spicy touches stay in the background, and there is a slightly synthetic gloss to it. It is presented as a women's perfume. Those who rated it find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so the impression is tentative. Alyssa Ashley Vanilla and Malizia Sweet Vanilla have a close profile.

Hexcake

7.0

Hexennacht

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Hexennacht Hexcake is a sweet, gourmand women's fragrance built around roasted apple, gingerbread and vanilla ice cream. Its longevity is rated good, and most voters find it stays on skin for a long time, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is only a rough one. There is nothing to say yet about its sillage, seasons or occasions. The scent reads like a bakery from start to finish: roasted apple and pumpkin bring a fruity sweetness, while gingerbread adds spice. Waffle, pecan and salted caramel push the gourmand side forward, and vanilla ice cream gives it a creamy softness. Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin and The Dua Brand Banana Foster have a close profile.
