A gorgeous blend of pistachio and frangipani with a handful of candy play off sinister undertones of smoking hot tar, dirt, and blood.
The wild witch. The scary witch. The little girl playing on the playground with a big grin on her face, who walks away lighting a match and setting the place on fire because a boy pushed her off the swing. She’s dragging her teddy bear that’s missing a leg and both its eyes behind her as she walks calmly away from the flames. Is that blood on her neatly pressed dress? Don’t let the pigtails and wide eyes fool you; this girl is dangerous. She’s the doom witch that lives in all of us, ready to strike out at those who wrong us....

In the bottle: Cinnamon? Horehound? Birch? Eye-wateringly strong medicinal of some sort. A tincture of dubious purpose. Right, here goes...
On my skin : Cinnamon/horehound/birch/menthol/camphor/some truly foul concoction that your mum would put on your chest when you have a cough... mixed with dirt, blood, Sweet Tarts/Smarties/Fizzers... and um... a light floral. What the f....
Five minutes in : Gods above this is bizarre. It's all I can smell. Please let this dry down more pleasantly.
Half an hour in : Praise the perfume Gods, it is becoming more tolerable. Mainly because I can no longer smell the perfume unless I specifically sniff my wrists.
An hour in : It's either finally settled into a warm, spicy, sweet aroma that has no separate definable elements to it OR it's worn off enough at this point that I just can't properly smell it anymore.
Final thoughts: This perfume is like sitting in a dusty empty lot that is partially encircled by a rusty chain link fence overgrown with some sort of creeping wild flower, next to a smoldering pile of freshly dumped asphalt, as you eat Sweet Tarts/Smarties/Fizzers, nurse a bleeding scraped knee and question your life choices

When my sample pack arrived, I let it sit for a week before indulging. When I finally tried it, I was sorely disappointed—way too sweet to be a Doom Witch! Now, months later, those notes I was jonesing for: hot tar, dirt, and blood? They are shining through. She is heavy handed in serving justice, who knew suffering could smell so delightful?

I love the way this smells it's like sweet and dangerous, it's very similar to how their cyanide scent smells , like I'd say it's in the same family , maybe siblings . They scent is pretty similar in the bottle
But cyanide doesn't change much when it dries down to my skin , while doom witch changes to a bit of a darker more mellow scent . I totally get what the tootsie roll reviews are talking about !

You will smell like Tootsie rolls in the best possible way. I wear this when I want to feel sweet on the outside to match my sweetness inside. My good mood go-to scent.

I do not get candy at all with the doom witch oil. Candy brings to mind sweet things. I definitely get the darker notes. The Tootsie roll review is close, with a piney hint. It's an interesting scent for sure; that I love. I ordered because a doom witch is an unmarried women over 40.

I love this one. It smells like candy at first. Think old fashioned pistachio divinity. As it dries, a subtle smell that reminds me of fresh asphalt comes in behind it. Somehow, it works and smells delicious!

I’ve loved the label art on this scent since it came out, but I didn’t think I would like the scent based on the notes. I just got it as a sample and it’s pretty great. It’s not as sweet as I thought it would be.

Love this company and love almost all the scents i have. Unfortunately, Doom Witch is not pne of them. Not on my skin at least. I feel it needs so sweetness to it so i ordered some more scents to layer with it because it's not a bad scent. I just prefer something sweeter. It has a strong fragrane so maybe i should have fotten a rollerball instead of spray bottle so i could use less. Anyway it's not bad but my least favorite so far.

Smells like a tootsie roll to me. Or like a yummy pistachio fused brown tootsie pop.

Doom Witch is so good. You'll get candy and pistachio with dirt. It lasts all day!

I missed out the last time this sent was retired so I was sure to grab it this time, and I am sure glad I did! It is everything it promises. It starts of sweet and floral and then hits you with the tar, smoke and dirt, with just a hint of blood on the back end. Enticing and dangerous all at once. Perfect.
