Andrea Maack Coven is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017. Coven settles into a heart of Cedar, Oakmoss, Clove, and Vanilla. Andrea Maack's Coven carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Coven is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Fans adore its earthy, witchy realism, placing them deep in a damp forest. Detractors, however, often find it too green, too sharp, or reminiscent of bell peppers and rotting compost. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Spring Fall

Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

With its beastly performance and powerfully unique accord profile, Coven is far too strong for the office. It suits adventurous casual wear, especially in cooler weather, where its earthy, mysterious character can truly shine. Some might find it intriguing for a date, but it's certainly not a crowd-pleaser.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine stepping into a primeval forest just after a downpour: that's Coven. It opens with an aggressive, almost startling greenness from galbanum and oakmoss, evoking bitter herbs and damp earth. As it settles, deep woody notes of cedar emerge, intertwining with a surprising warm spice from clove, and a touch of vanilla providing a subtle, almost sweet, undercurrent. This is a journey from vibrant, wild green to a more grounded, mossy decay.
