Description

Baba Yaga is a central character in all folk tales to scare naughty kids. The first part of it is known to all Slavic languages as a vulgar word for “woman, and often, old woman.” The second part , Yaga, was a linguistic reference to enemies, nomadic tribes who burned and fought Russian lands in the South and East (aga, i.e. “master, lord” in Turkish, for example).

This fragrance, as is the case with Albho, is a story in a flacon: scary and fun, leading you from reality to a magical world of scary fairy tales from childhood. Baba Yaga steals children and bakes them in the oven. Ocasionally, if she wakes up in a good mood and gets out of bed on the proper leg, she helps Prince Charming-types who are lost in the woods find their way to their brides, but most of the time she is an evil old woman. Baba Yaga was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Cecile Zarokian.

    Missisjoker – that is interesting. I know now she is known as a dark goddess/crone, those connotations don’t bother me but it makes sense that the church would demonise her, as they did with any powerful woman, or woman who would speak out. I like the idea of some darkness though. Love the sound of the notes of this fragrance.

    I almost loved this one. It started off gorgeous, definitely unisex but leaning towards masculine. A truly delightful and realistic woody forest scent with some great depth. Unfortunately, the drydown turned sickly sweet on me. I wasn’t able to pinpoint one particular note as the culprit, just that the whole thing became cloying and overbearing. That may just be my skin chemistry though- this is really nice in every other way (sillage, longevity, etc) so don’t let this review scare you away. It really is a great scent, just not for me!

    This is the scent of autumn.
    This perfume perfectly captures the fragrance of the ideal autumn day. The smell of the crisp cool air, the dry leaves crunching under foot, the aroma of the herbaceous plants still clinging to summer at the waning of the season, the rich fragrance of freshly chopped wood for the awaiting fire that has just been kindled… it’s perfect.
    The beautiful notes come together to recreate autumn in the most wonderful way. This is a masterpiece.

    It starts with the freshness of the citrus (limes, lemon, mandarin, & slight oranges) with hints of red peppers, a very tiny bit of cinnamon, & quite good doses of nutmeg. 2 minutes and it turns into spicy citrus as the cinnamon rises up, nutmeg remains still, red pepper comes down, and black pepper first show. Later than 4 minutes it goes sweet citrus spices, as this stage we can imagine it as leather but it’s not.
    Eventually, i have sniffed something similar to this fragrance somewhere but i can’t remember which! It’s like a typical cologne with sweet factor & doses of cinnamon & nutmeg
    Although the idea behind this fragrance is superbly amazing but i feel the inspiration doesn’t fit this fragrance somehow!
    @nikoleta..
    Well, if the idea of inspirations will be taken literally then i guess there won’t be any creative things!
    Mafia, Dracula, Vampires, werewolves, Evil queens, wizards, witches, hunted houses, bogyman, and Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are just few inspirational personas that can build amazing stories, games, perfumes, and even movies for the sake of entertaining.
    You have to know this, this is how the mind of an artist works.

    Nikoleta1, you are clearly not familiar with true origins of Baba Yaga story. Baba Yaga originally was a supernatural midwife and a healer. And the “kids cooking” part was actually a ritual to heal them from sickness by carrying them over the fire. But after christianity was introduced, she was demonized into an old hag. Have you actually smelled the perfume?

    Review from a spray sample:
    Baba Yaga opens very spicy and dark. Almost bitter. There is a hint of citrus as well, which gets a bit stronger as the scent progresses. Mostly I smell nutmeg, cinnamon and a very rough pepper in the base layer directly on my skin, bitter orange above that and orange sweet freshness on top. The scent turns a bit sweeter as it progresses. I also smell hints of iso-e-super in the base which becomes more apparent in the drydown.
    Performance is ok: sillage is moderate to heavy and longevity is moderate to long.
    Cecile Zarokian is becoming one of my favorite perfumers, I love how her scents are quite out there, a bit loud, and almost always spicy and warm. Of this scent, I enjoy the different layers of scent within the scent the most. On my skin it is very spicy, and the bitter orange makes it a bit masculine, which shifts into sweetness after the opening. I like that phase the best of this scent.

    Delightful notes….. One is lost in a fragrant forest!
    I can envision what this fragrance intends to say even though I have never had the great delight of experiencing Baba Yaga.
    Perhaps it would help Western perfume lovers to conjur up the tale of Hansel and Gretel, with an added note of Russian mystery added! This is all about a forest AND a fairy tale.
    Utterly unique. How often have you seen CLOVER in a fragrance release of late? If ever?!

    Baba yaga is a name of the evel old witch, scary and with a hanch back. she lives in the slam in the forest, without plumming and sanitation and cooks little kids and rats for dinner. can you imagine the aroma there? what kind of massage does this name and perfume carry?
