I bought a decant of Midnight Hag from CocoaPink from Ajevie. This was in a sample tube in oil format. This is my first review from CocoaPink but I have bought perfume from them before. The usual 2 ml generous samples from them are ones I struggle to figure out how to apply since they come in a taller glass dram bottle. I may decant them to be more motivated to put them on in the morning. Midnight Hag is part of their general catalogue so it is available year round!
Notes: Tart Blackberries, Vanilla Bean Noel, and a splash of Spiritueuse Double Vanilla.
This is a deep jammy scent, it smells like baked down berries. I get a vanilla base as well. This is definitely foody but its not overpowering or cloying, and it doesn’t make me feel like I smell like food I would rather eat than smell. I took a whiff at the start and got a hint of tartness or green but it went away very quickly. I wish there was a bit more tartness that would push this into fresher blackberry territory. It smells like berry jam or berry in baked goods. It is actually super similar to Sorce’s In Dreams and Fairytales Blueberry without the toasted meringue. I would say this one might be a slightly deeper/darker scent with more berry, while Sorce’s might be a bit lighter with more airy vanilla. This scent didn’t really waft over me much throughout the day, it faded a lot faster than other perfumes have lately but I have had a full work day and I never reapply my perfumes. If I sniff real close at the end of the day, I can get a faint berry jam perfume smell. I kinda expected a fresh berry and green smell but this is nice, too. Cocoapink does lean a lot more into the gourmand category that I am still getting to know.
