Agnes Nutter v2

[Caper]

Okay, so I got this on a whim because Beth's description said witch-spicy, and who doesn't want to smell witch spices? Plus I've been on a spicy kick lately (Mopsfeldermaus swoon!) and I had to try it.

 

It is prefect.

 

It is warm and smoky, but not too charred. Vaguely sweet, but not foody. Crisp hint of metallic underlying it all that just serves as a counterpoint to the other aspects of the oil. The metallic edge here is really what is making this so perfect.

 

It sort of reminds me of Maison En Pain d’Épices, but that might just be the spiciness of it.

AGNES NUTTER v2

Slightly sweeter and witchspicier, less gunpowdery.

 

Agnes Nutter v1 did not work for me as well as I had hoped. It smelled old and rusty. Like grime. So, I was very excited to hear that it was being remade for SDCC!

 

I love this remake! There's something homey about it, like holiday candles or baking, but it's not the overwhelming cinnamon pinecones I expect when someone says "holiday scents". There's definitely something hot and spicy in there -- not quite clove, probably cinnamon -- that I did not pick up on the original.

 

It is definitely sweeter, too! Not quite burnt sugar or vanilla, though. I can't put my finger on it.

 

It also has a great lasting power -- I put it on at 7 AM and it's still around six hours later.

 

It's a very warm scent. Almost foodie. Definitely worth a shot!

Warm, sweet, slightly smoky. I think this might actually have allspice, as opposed to cinnamon. Hint of metallicness. Definitely less gunpowder.

 

The released version of Agnes Nutter was almost all bitter gunpowder on me, and this one plays up the 'magickal' aspect of the character instead.

 

Warm, spicy, wearable.
