Mischief Hansel & Gretel was released in 2025. Created by Luis Hou, this was inspired by the Hansel & Gretel tale from the Brothers Grimm and has notes of gingerbread, hot chocolate, rum, cinnamon, clove, tonka bean and vanilla. Mischief Hansel & Gretel is an eau de parfum, edp.
From the brand - "Be transported to the gingerbread house from Hansel & Gretel’s tale, where scents of freshly baked gingerbread cookies meld with the comforting embrace of hot chocolate. Spices and rich vanilla notes add depth, crafting a fragrance that “feels” like home — all but a trap set by the wicked witch.”
Fragrantica - "It's rather transparent in the woodiness; something floral, something violet, maybe a touch of jasmine, all very well blended and purposefully light. Its chiffon, rather than overly sweet pound cake. The long dry down is rather perfumistic, not overly literal, and very sophisticated: ambroxan, musk, and maybe even the ubiquitous "cashmere woods." The perfect adult take on a child's idea of a sweet treat."
Fragrantica - "Cinnamon swirls into the hot cocoa. Tonka bean feels slightly heavy, carrying a hint of indulgent wickedness—perfectly matching the essence of the story."
Fragrantica - "A straight to the point gingerbread fragrance that manages to nail the balance between sweet and spiced. Don’t get much of the hot cocoa but do get a slight rummy undertone in the opening. Overall just gingerbread house galore"
I tried a decant of this out of curiosity. It wasn't my cup of tea, but it definitely has a unique aroma. It has notes of gingerbread and spice to it. The aroma doesn't last too long, which is the only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5.
