Wicked Good Yew — a fragrance with a mystical character
Wicked Good Yew is a unisex eau de parfum created for those who love unusual and expressive compositions.
The fragrance is part of the Witchy Perfume collection by the American brand Wicked Good, known for its bold approach to perfumery and its ability to turn familiar everyday associations into memorable olfactory stories.
The name Yew evokes the atmosphere of a mysterious garden and an ancient forest, yet the fragrance’s character extends far beyond a purely woody theme.
This is a rich gourmand-balsamic release built around a contrast of sweetness, floral depth and dark resinous nuances.
It feels cinematic — slightly witchy, comforting and provocative all at once.
Character and development
Wicked Good Yew opens dense, sweet and almost dessert-like, but gradually becomes deeper and darker.
A floral accent gives the composition dimension, while the woody-balsamic base keeps it from becoming overly lighthearted.
The result is an expressive fragrance for those who prefer a noticeable presence and unconventional combinations.
Wicked Good Yew is described as having a very powerful sillage, making it especially well suited to cool weather, evening outings and special occasions.
Indoors, moderation is advisable: the eau de parfum has a strong presence and may linger on skin and clothing for a long time.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or fabric are not provided, so it is best to start with one spray and add more if necessary.
In terms of gender positioning, this is a versatile composition.
Its sweet, resinous character may appeal to both women and men, while its perception will depend on skin temperature, the weather and individual preferences for gourmand fragrances.
The perfumer and its place in the collection
The fragrance was created by perfumer Cheri Tracy.
Her work with contrasting accords highlights Wicked Good’s signature idea: rather than copying familiar classics, the brand reinterprets recognizable impressions through a bold, emotional and slightly fairy-tale lens.
Wicked Good Yew will be an intriguing choice for fans of dense, sweet fragrances with a dark mood.
If you would like to compare it with other rich compositions, take a look at Emanuel Ungaro Fruit D'Amour Lilac, Tom Ford Black Orchid Parfum and Alexandria Fragrances Fructus Virginis. Their characters differ, but each can appeal to lovers of a pronounced sillage and an unconventional scent profile.
