It suits those who enjoy bold incense, coniferous woods, and complex, atmospheric scents—best for autumn or winter, evening wear, or moments when you want something evocative and ritualistic.

Scent Description:

Spell 125 begins with a sharp, cool burst of Siberian pine, producing an almost antiseptic or medicinal-edged forest atmosphere. Shortly after this green opening, frankincense (green sacra) and black hemlock begin to emerge, lending resinous smoke, herbal bite, and a deep woodland veil. The note of ylang-ylang offers rare golden threads of floral warmth that contrast the conifer-incense dryness. Over time, white ambergris adds a salty, marine-amber nuance, while Indian sandalwood smooths the base with creamy, woody depth. The result is a complex interplay of sharp green woods, sacred resins, animalic ambergris facets, and warm woods that shift between brightness and shadow. Spell 125 sits firmly in the woody-resinous & green incense tradition, yet feels more raw and elemental than sweet or soft.

Performance Details:

• Longevity: 8/10 — many users report it lasting well through the day, with the base holding strong.

• Sillage: 6.5/10 — noticeable projection when first applied; becomes more intimate after some hours.

• Projection: 6/10 — front-loaded projection that softens; more noticeable in cooler air or when layered.

Papillon Artisan Perfumes Spell 125 is a richly built, incense-and-woods scent that fuses organic conifers with pagan ritualism and ambergris’s visceral presence. If you appreciate dark forests, sacred smoke, and fragrances that pull you into a meditative, mysterious space, it stands out as a compelling choice. Note: All products are 100% authentic.
