This is the ONLY perfume I have ever re-purchased. It feels like standing in a quiet forest in the middle of the night. I like to smell like I live in the woods, but in a clean way. It’s also very unisex, which is essential for me because I am quite androgynous. Mostly a green scent, it’s also wet, woody, and spicy. The spice fades the fastest, so don’t let it scare you off. This EDP really lasts. A timeless, cool perfume for sure.

Smells lovely in the bottle on first sniff, green and earthy, but on the skin, a sickly overpowering grassy note takes over, heavy and overwhelming. Was disappointed and didn’t meet the over romanticized description that reviewers rave about.

This is my favorite new scent. It smells like dancing around a fire with an ancient deity in the old growth forest under a blood moon. I constantly get asked what I am wearing and my husband loves it.

Ay ay ay, chiles compadre! No offense, but who wrote the scoop? Doesn’t smell like the forest at all. This is a big batch of chili peppers. I agree with a previous reviewer who wrote ‘all I got was hot Cheetos all day.’ Go for it if you like smelling spicy, Just don’t come back and hate my review if women find you repulsive for giving off ‘Guy Fieri at a hot wing eating contest’ stench.

GLORIOUS. Has a sharp, fresh petrichor scent that lasts and lasts. I don't get as much of the smoke or incense some people mention--there's definitely a little spice, but the scent reads more "clean" to me. I feel lucky this works for me, because I catch whiffs of it all day and smile.

Sharp and peppery, with a hint of something synthetic underneath. This seriously lasts all day. It almost feels abrasive, but I keep coming back!

I love the smell of Fresh Cut Grass/Moss, but not on me! I smell like a musty mothball.

I am a new worshipper of perfumes; suddenly, a space is opened in my olfactory life that lifts me up and transports me into other realms. Suddenly, my nose is so alert and focused on this wonderful adventure. I am gaining olfactory discernment, but I'm a total freshman! I didn't realize it at first, but as I study, smell, learn and experiment, I now know that some of those realms are ecstatic. Andrea Maack's Coven lured me into a forest of notes that make me deleriously happy. I feel safe, completely part of the coven in the forest, at one with the natural world that surrounds me. I tried it all day today and ordered a bottle at midnight--the witching hour.

Loved this scent on a friend and bought a bottle for myself. Loved the first hour of scent but ended up smelling exclusively like hot Cheetos. Definitely my body chemistry, because it smells incredible on my friend. Not for me, but recommend for those curious

If you've ever worked at a bar, you know the smell of the recycling dumpster in summer when the alcohol residue has turned into a sickly soup at the bottom. That's what this smelled like to me -- I can see how people could find it intellectually interesting and obviously it strikes others differently, but I found it really unpleasant. I guess this is a matter of taste because others are enthusiastic but it's a low score for me.

I'm reviewing the sample as I wait for the FB to be back in stock... Green and mossy... to me it smells like that moment just after a Southern Ontario thunderstorm when the air is "emptied" and the ground -- the grass, the cement, the trees, mulch, everything -- is soaked. There's a strange void here around which the other notes circle that made me keep sniffing. Can't wait to spray it on.

Coven was in my first batch of Luckyscent samples ever, just over a year ago. Don't care to count how many I've accumulated since, but it was an immediate favorite. The full bottle is better still. Opens sharp & green with black pepper & crushed ivy before mellowing into a foggy walk along mossy cliffs. There's a cozy glass of whiskey waiting for you at home. Smells like solitary contentment. Perfect for early spring gardening, even if a pot on a fire escape is as close as you can get right now. Does make me miss walking alone through rain-drenched streets, though.

While I admit that I was initially drawn toward the "spooky" name and scent description, I was blown away by the actual sample (which inspired me to write my very first review in almost 10 years of Luckyscent)! Coven reads as if my dearly departed bottle of Donna Karan Chaos from 1996 had *literally* risen from the grave...loamy soil and damp leaves and wet green moss enshrouding that classic black pepper/cinnamon/incense bomb. It's not a twin but a sister scent, quieter, darker, and less spicy-sweet than Chaos. I'm in love, and saving for a full bottle - Io Evohe!

Used in spell work, representing the earth below in its mossy rot wood, the air element of char and smoke.. Conjuring is a word breathed over a drop.. So mote it be

True story.. Got a sample of Coven along with a few others. When I opened it, I thought: "what is this vile tincture?!?", It stank of old hay and I threw it back in the bag never to be touched again. Jump in time a few months, I open it again, same effect. Horrible! In my disbelief that someone would create a fragrance this stinky, I tried it on me.. Next thing you know, I'm addicted to the stuff!!! It turned into the most gorgeous, dark, yet clean, mysterious, original smells I ever tried. I literally kept my shirt out of the wash basket, so I could continue smelling it! Hahaha! I've never changed my mind so drastically about anything in my life! Bewitched, spellbound? Maybe..... This is the new perfume I was looking for!

So I had to come back and leave another review. I managed to get a small spritz bottle and I love this perfume even more now! So incredibly unique and I actually get compliments wearing it. This is full bottle worthy for me for sure.

I got a sample of this perfume. I really liked it, quite smokey on me with a hint of spice. Definitely reminiscent of burning incense in a cauldron. I really wish the samples came in little spritz bottles though. I never feel like I get the true impact of a spray perfume when I'm dabbing/rubbing it on my skin. I'd definitely consider getting a full bottle of it if I could try it out of an actual bottle. Perhaps I'll see if my fave local perfume lady has this in stock so I can try a proper spritz.

The opening spike of black pepper is an invitation for the easily frightened *not* to join the circle. Once the riffraff are cleared away, this one goes green, not woody, with a sharp dry note that reminds me of poplar leaves more than mown grass. There’s a terrific wet-earth forest-floor note, too, which segues into an interesting drydown by becoming a drier, sunshine-warmed patch of ground (thanks, whiskey). A nice bit of olfactory storytelling and very wearable.

I wanted to really like this one. The smell is gorgeous, unique, obscure and a sexy type of "green" smell. I was excited due to the other comments about staying power. Maybe I did something wrong in application, maybe it was an "off" sample, but this did NOT stay at all. Two hours later and nothing. Most perfumes last quite well on me, but this one was too quickly gone and not enough enjoyment. When it's there, it's great, just wish it would last longer.

Coven is very sharp on the onset, with the most intense green imaginable. The whole thing is like a spectrum of green with bright electric green all the way to almost pitch black green. It's totally unique and really cool. It softens pretty quickly into something spicy, herbaceous, and green that lasts all day. I love it. Totally wearable, but very distinct. It could be a signature scent for the confident non-conformist. The spay nozzle is awesome. Very nice bottle design.
