Coven
Yerbamate
Only in Yerbamate
Shared character
Both fragrances feature spicy notes, patchouli, galbanum and green notes, and they both belong to the green accord family.
How they differ
Coven is built around a relatively tight palette – spicy notes, patchouli, galbanum and green notes – and adds cedarwood, amber and a distinct woody accord. Yerbamate shares the same spicy‑green core but expands dramatically, layering mint, ylang‑ylang, sandalwood, ciste labdanum, oakmoss, vetiver, tonka bean, lavender, tarragon, tea, a full range of citruses, mate, rosewood, hay, powdery notes, tree moss, aromatic woods and herbs. Its unique accords are spicy, fresh, sweet and powdery, whereas Coven’s only unique accord is woody. Yerbamate also carries a community score of 6.75; Coven has no published scores.
Who each suits
Coven will appeal to wearers who prefer a focused, woody‑amber interpretation of green/spicy aromatics. Yerbamate is aimed at those who enjoy a highly complex, fresh‑sweet‑powdery green composition with a broad herbal, citrus and resinous character, and who may be influenced by its moderate community rating.
