The world first encountered Waking The Witch by Hexennacht in 2019. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the spicy and wood families. Offered in perfume extract concentration.
Brand country — the United States, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Waking The Witch Hexennacht — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Waking The Witch is built as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Hexennacht is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a expressively spicy mood: Black Pepper, Cashmeran, Laurel, Oak moss, Patchouli and Vanilla. In this format 6 notes act as one coherent layer, forming warm spicy pulse that feels seamless.
The deeper layers are felt as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The accord architecture is shaped by these accords: Musc, Wood and Spicy without random overlap.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Spicy, Musk, Earthy / Mossy and Wood. It also reaches into Gourmet. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Spicy and Wood.
Taken together Waking The Witch holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.
