Papillon Artisan Perfumes Spell 125 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Liz Moores. Spell 125 settles into a heart of Canadian Hemlock, Pine, Ylang-Ylang, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Ambergris. Papillon Artisan Perfumes's Spell 125 carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent, utterly unique and a true olfactory journey. Expect a rough, challenging opening, but those who persevere will find a darkly magical, mystical experience. Not a blind buy, but a must-try for the adventurous.

About

Spell 125 launches with an intense aromatic blast of fresh pine and Canadian hemlock, sharp and almost medicinal. This quickly deepens into a rich, resinous heart of frankincense, amber, and a subtle, banana-like sweetness from ylang-ylang. The base unfurls with a prominent, skanky ambergris, earthy sandalwood, and a lingering smoky, animalic depth that evokes ancient forests and arcane rituals.
