There’s something about October. Something in the air, just as the leaves curl and wither, and the nights stretch out, long and dark. You feel it, don’t you? That prickling along the back of your neck, like the season itself is witching... ahem, watching. Waiting. It’s a time, as you know, when the boundaries thin here in the PAA Universe, when what’s been forgotten sometimes claws its way back into our lives, stitch by stitch. ['tis the season, no?]
This October, Greenwitch Envy is coming for you.
If you were around in 1998, you remember the scent. Gucci Envy for Men—something green, something shiny, something smooth, something you couldn’t quite put your finger on, but you couldn’t shake it either. A scent that stayed with you. It got inside your head. It got on your skin, hell, it got under your skin too. Like a cold wind that carried the essence of spring into a ghost city, its architecture was modern, a minimalist statement that resisted gaudiness.
The composition started with fresh, green notes and a cool metallic accord that froze the senses in time. Then, it gradually warmed up with woody notes and musk. And just like that, it disappeared. Gone. No warning, no explanation. One day it was on the shelves, and the next, just a memory, a phantom. But scent ghosts have a way of returning sometimes, especially when PAA is involved, no?
The Resurrection of Envy
Greenwitch Envy isn’t just a fragrance. It’s a summoning. You think you’ve forgotten that scent, but the moment it hits you-- top notes of Ginger, Cardamom, Pepper, with a whisper of Mandarin Orange--it’s like flipping a switch. Memories flood back. The ones that have been hiding in the remote corners of your mind, waiting for a scent like this to draw them out. The regenerating heart of the fragrance beats with Sandalwood, Cedar, and a touch of Carnation—that unexpected floral note you never saw coming, but somehow makes perfect sense. It’s like walking into a room and feeling a presence that shouldn’t be there. But still, you’re drawn in. And then there’s the base: Incense, Tobacco, Vanilla, with a lingering edge of Vetiver and Patchouli. These are the smells of forgotten places. Old leather-bound books gathering dust, a smoldering fire that’s almost gone out but still carries the faintest trace of warmth. It’s rich, it’s dark, but lite and it clings to you long after the bottle is closed.
The Witching Hour
Why Greenwitch? There’s a story there, one most people don’t know. Greenwitch is part of The Dark Is Rising book series by Susan Cooper. Long before Harry what’s-his-name, there was Simon, Jane, and Barnabas Drew! As a child, I was captivated by these books, pulled into a mysterious magical world that will forever haunt me…in a good way! So with this classic tale in mind I made this release a dual homage! Greenwitch Envy is now part of two stories. A feeling of old magic and a scent born of the earth, of roots that go deep into the ground, of autumn nights where the air turns cold and sharp, and you can almost hear the ancient and recent past whispering from beyond. It’s for those who understand that some things never really die—they just wait...in the shadows!
The Season Of The Greenwitch!
You think you can handle her? This release isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for the ones who remember, the Old Ones. For the ones who crave that rush of nostalgia mixed with a hint of the haunt. This is the scent you wear when you want to be noticed. When you want to be remembered. When you want to linger in their thoughts. Greenwitch Envy: a haunting homage to the iconic Gucci Envy for Men. One of our more mysterious Doppelgängers, here for a short time, just for the season. But something tells me it’ll stay with you long after October’s come and gone. Greenwitch Envy—Because some things will never let us go.
