PÊCHE OBSCÈNE · Chelsea Wolfe x Lvnea | Eau de Parfum

Someone asked me if I work in a flower shop while I was wearing this, I think because it’s not just flowers, but also soil and moss. It's damp, heavy, dirty, intoxicating. I think it can be read as witchy or elegant (or both, if your aesthetic is "elegant witch"). My first-ever full bottle purchase and I fell in love immediately!

Adored most beautifully, strong at first spray on the nape of my hair strands, one, two mists is all you need. As it settles in and it will the lingering aroma sweeps back in time -- 1920's a version of Chanel no5 and my excitement, wonderment begins and then it softens even more till days later I capture her once again! Thank you so beautiful!

In the bottle the jasmine, patchouli and oakmoss are strong with a smokiness floating around them, seizing my nostrils with a scent reminiscent of a mature perfume mixed with burning incense.
Wet on my skin I smell the peach creeping its way to the front between the patchouli and oakmoss, with claws that bruise the plants.
Post drydown, the peach is harmonizing with the vetiver, oakmoss and patchouli, with the jasmine and sandalwood lingering along the periphery.
It creates a complex, dark fragrance that is musky and heady like a witch's peach she placed on the altar and allowed to rot among her herbs and incense.

I ordered this a bit impulsively, because it's strikingly different than anything else in my collection. Sometimes fruity and floral scents can be headache-inducing for me; however, I find this fragrance gorgeously balanced! The peach is subtle but clear, with bitter and sweet sides interplaying throughout the wear time. This scent really lasts, shifting in lovely ways all the while! Also, I find the opening notes deliciously smoky, and I didn't realize that wasn't one of the notes here! The smoke makes my first moments wearing the fragrance sort of off-putting (in an intoxicating way), so I get to spend a few minutes fascinated as the scent calms and evolves, leaving peaches and earth and smoke lingering all day. It's totally a summer smell, for me, but I find myself longing to wear it even now (just after the winter solstice)... it's such a luscious and evocative fragrance: late sunsets, dancing by a bonfire, freedom and possibility. Actually, I'm wearing now anyway! It's too delicious to withhold. Highly recommend, especially if you're someone who likes a off-the-beaten-path.

HUGE AGREE with previous reviewers: if this was part of the permanent collection, I am absolutely certain I'd buy new bottles over and over

This is a much more metamorphic take on vintage fragrances like Femme by Rochas and Dior Poison. It's almost as if you're experiencing the life cycle of a peach, starting with the pit in the dirt, to the ripening on the tree, and back into the earth and decaying on the ground. I'm in love.
