The Best Niche and Unisex Scents for the Witchy Woman

Purple Star emoji 17 items
I'm not into flowers and candy. Give me moss, wood, a bit of smoke and plenty of mystery. I want to smell like an androgynous moss witch who wears second-hand cashmere while she browses old books and watches Autumn leaves fall. And I will not settle ...

For every day use and kind to your wallet: these scents are still unique and make you iconic. Don't be afraid to blind buy.

I love this scent so much. It is definitely the closest fit in the affordable category for me. It's fresh and mossy without without being stale, woody without being smoky. Originally designed for men, it is perfectly suited to the trenchcoat-wearing ...
Encre Noire, Eau de Toilette - Lalique

Art of Wood is bold, extremely long-lasting, yet fresh so as not to become cloying. It has a price tag that justifies blind buying and with its head notes of bergamot and pepper, and deeper layers of cedar and vetiver it works for a moss witch. Can b...
Lattafa - Art of Wood

The best of winner Encre Noire but longer lasting and slightly more character, if that's possible. Worth considering if you love Encre Noire, but don't love that it fades rather too quickly.
Encre Noire À L'Extrême, Eau de Parfum - Lalique

Great Tom Ford Oud Wood dupe without the price tag to match. Arabic brands are great at producing high-quality, long-lasting scents for a fraction of the price.
Maison Alhambra Dark Aoud - Spicy Woody Oud

Don't let the lemon scare you. It's moody enough to be included in this list but as an eau de toilette it won't last as long.
Eau de Toilette – Black Pepper

A bit higher in price but definitely way below the typical niche perfume range. Fresh and peppery with the wood tones buried deep beneath it. Perfect for the mysterious dark academia lover.

Lush might be associated with overwhelming colours and scents and the sweetest bath boms, but none of that sweetness can be found in Breath of God. And that is a great thing.

This has everything you know and love from this list but in 2 MAN you won't be able to seperate one ingredient from the other. It's confusing, a little weird (like us) and it makes you want to sniff it again… and again… and again. Figure it out… if y...

Literally mossy, earthy and fresh is in its description. And we loooove that price tag too.
L'ERBOLARIO Black Juniper Perfume 100ml

Niche and expensive? Yes, please!

If you can afford it, then do. These perfumes are olfactory art at its finest.

Named after the most famous forest witch. How much more appropriate can you get? One of the best and most unique.

This one has it all. Soft and slightly powdery on a platter of fresh wood, topped with slightly citrusy, crispiness of peppercorns. There is a deeply feminine quality to it that feels very classy and grown-up without the typical cloying stickiness of...

Let the scent of the poètes maudits carry you await into a world of green fairies, tormented romantics and ink-stained fingers.

Have a cup of black tea among the ancient scrolls in the library of Alexandria. Add the forest fruits of Yaga, the slight powderiness of 1828 and you have Bois Datchaï.

Serge is one of this girl's best friends. In my eyes and nostrils, you simply cannot go wrong if you go with Lutens.

Can a scent get witchier than Yaga? Perhaps this one can. The frankincense combined with the fresh woods drives home the atmosphere of dark rituals under moonlight. Intriguing enough, perhaps, even to raise the dead?
Mississippi Medicine - DS & Durga

Dìa de Los Muertos bottled and ready for your own celebration of life with sage, incense, and notes of citrus blooming in a dry, sandy heat. Nothing cloying or sweet about this unisex scent. But memorable? Oh, yes.
