Midnight Gypsy Alchemy Broomsticks Solid Perfume is a women's solid perfume released in 2013 by the American brand Midnight Gypsy Alchemy.
The name Broomsticks, evoking the image of witches' brooms, immediately sets the mood: this is a fragrance for those who enjoy perfumes with a mystical, natural and slightly theatrical character.
The Midnight Gypsy Alchemy brand was founded in 2011 under the New Mexico sun by artist and perfumer Althaea Sebastiani.
Its aesthetic is built around a combination of art, desert romance, botanical motifs and an alchemical approach to fragrance creation, making Broomsticks a natural fit for this unusual universe.
In terms of its scent profile, Broomsticks Solid Perfume belongs to the balsamic, green and woody families.
It features amber, aromatic, balsamic, spicy and woody accents that create a dense, warm and expressive impression.
The composition is defined primarily by resins, dry woody shades and green spice.
Ambergris adds rounded warmth and soft depth, while basil brings a contrasting herbaceous freshness.
Alongside them are earthy, bitter-green and resinous nuances, making the fragrance feel less like a simple sweet balm and more like a dark botanical elixir.
The solid texture makes application more intimate and controlled: the fragrance can be conveniently applied to pulse points without creating a sharp cloud in the first few seconds.
At the same time, according to the product listing, Broomsticks has a very strong sillage, so the composition can make a noticeable impression in a space and remain recognizable throughout wear.
This women's fragrance is especially appealing for cooler seasons, evening outings, walks and atmospheric gatherings when you want to emphasize your individuality.
It will appeal to fans of woody-balsamic compositions, green herbal accords and perfumes with an esoteric mood.
Broomsticks does not try to be a universally suitable office fragrance or a safe gift “for everyone”.
Its strength lies in its character: it may appeal to those looking for an unusual solid perfume with a dense resinous profile rather than yet another light floral release.
The database does not specify the exact recommended number of applications of Broomsticks Solid Perfume to the skin and clothing.
Given its stated very strong sillage, it is best to start with a small amount and intensify the scent gradually if necessary; apply the product to fabric cautiously, testing it first on an inconspicuous area.
If you would like to explore this expressive woody-balsamic aesthetic further, consider Loewe Aire Anthesis, Siordia Parfums Strider and Natura Essencial Oud Vanilla Feminino.
They are not exact copies of Broomsticks, but they may appeal to lovers of rich, noticeable and unconventional fragrances.
No information is available about other concentrations or the perfumer behind Broomsticks Solid Perfume, so comparing it with Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Extrait versions would be inaccurate.
Nevertheless, the release itself reveals the artistic side of Midnight Gypsy Alchemy: the brand transforms natural materials and resinous accords into a small perfume story with a powerful mood.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A compact perfume format based on wax or oils, allowing you to delicately refresh your fragrance throughout the day
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 fragrance pyramid is not divided into traditional top, heart, and base notes: all the listed components are presented in a blended composition.
It includes ambergris, basil, clove leaf, broom, labdanum, myrrh, and sandalwood.
Ambergris and labdanum create a warm, resinous aura, while myrrh lends the composition balsamic depth and a hint of ancient incense.
Basil refreshes the fragrance with a green aromatic facet, while clove leaf introduces a dry spiciness.
Broom and sandalwood reinforce the fragrance's woody-green character, making it more cohesive and expressive.
As a result, Broomsticks unfolds as a dense balsamic accord with herbal, spicy, resinous, and woody nuances.
