Nui Cobalt’s Hekate Potnia Theron Perfume Review


I somewhat recently got a bunch of Nui Cobalt scents and I didn’t see many reviews on this scent so I decided to be adventurous. The green fig note in this convinced me instantly to buy it and I didn’t pay much attention to each note. This scent is an archive scent so I believe that means it’s basically considered discontinued. 

Notes: Green fig, cedar, cypress, orris root, golden hay, toasted oats, warm suede, woodland musk, and tonka.

The color of the perfume is a super dark brown-green. I imagine there is hay absolute in this contributing to the color. My sample felt super full though maybe they’re always full like that. 

When I put this one on, I got a hint of something fruity and mildly sweet, I think this is the fig or hay and oats. However, this is a straight, very mild, creamy scent. I get the classic Nui Cobalt base scent like the one in Starlight and Spidersilk. I am a bit bummed, it’s mostly all I get. A watery, silky, white musk scent and maybe a very faint green note. I also get the suede note. People really like Nui Cobalt’s suede note! It is not for me personally and I’m disappointed I didn’t read that note in the description but maybe at the time, I thought it would be easily overpowered by the cedar and cypress. I did not get either tree smell from this and I enjoy both so that was a bummer. Overall, this perfume smells similar to other white musk scents to me and I wonder if this scent is archived for that reason. It is nice but I expected something more woodsy and fig forward. But if you like soft sueded musks with a hint of green, you will love this.
