Halloween breakdown 2024
Black orchid, cacao, bitter almond, and black musk. It depends on the orchid, but really, I can probably pass on this, unless I get really curious from reviews. 2/5 Darling, Darling Perfume Oil
Sugared pear and wild violets with orris butter, coconut milk, white musk, and vanilla silk. This combination doesn't sound appealing to me. Edit: it kind of sounds like a Luper scent! I would definitely try it if it crossed my path. 2/5 Die, Sweetly Die Perfume Oil
Inevitable surrender. Opening with a heady blend of blood orange and black cherry, the heart of this perfume pulsates with narcotic jasmine, sinuous tuberose, blood amber, vanilla silk, and deep red labdanum. I was on board until red labdanum, I have a questionable history with that note. 2/5 Indescribable Solemnity and Fear Perfume Oil
The crescendo of a phantom’s caress: golden frankincense and cardamom smothered by honeyed kisses of labdanum, red rose, merlot, black oud, and myrrh. Couple of iffy notes for me, and labdanum in general can turn sour on me. 2/5 Laura Hair Gloss An ode to delicate femininity, evoking an image of a golden beauty bathed in sunlight: delicate sandalwood and white musk shimmering with neroli, yellow amber, pear blossom, peonies, and iris. No hg for me. Melancholy Fire Perfume Oil
A luminous cold flame: chilled bergamot, Ceylon cinnamon, white clove bud, amber, and incense smoke. Sounds kind of interesting, maybe decant. 3/5 Millarca Perfume Oil
White lace, blackcurrant, and tea roses. I'd like to smell this. 3/5 Mircalla, Countess Karnstein Perfume Oil
Black velvet, blackcurrant, and black roses. Definitely interested. 4/5 My Soul Acquiesced in It Perfume Oil Melancholic white rose petals drifting in a pool of white musk, bitter almond, and icy vanilla. Hmm.. possible decant. 3/5 My Wild Heart Bleeds With Yours Perfume Oil A fierce rush of pink pepper, carnation, pulsating red berries, and crimson musk. I'm interested but wary of pepper and carnation. 3/5 Resembling the Passion of Love Perfume Oil
All-consuming, relentless desire – deceptively luscious, murderously brooding, and blindingly sensual: blood musk, black cherry, crimson amber, 21-year aged patchouli, golden saffron, jasmine sambac, and black rose. Not sure but could be good. 3/5 Ruins of Karnstein Perfume Oil Palatial grandeur in ruins, its decrepit majesty poised in the liminal space between decay and beauty. A haunting memory of all-consuming desire: the rich, earthy depth of oud, vetiver, and moss, grounded in the untamed wilds of the forest, echoing the ancient stones that remain. Wary of oud and moss. 2/5 Seven Inches of Blood Perfume Oil
A shimmering pool of coppery red musk, Dracaena cinnabari, clove bud, cacao, and lead. I want to love this but wary of "coppery" and wary of lead. 4/5 Sinister Restlessness Perfume Oil
Fear and fascination: blackened vetiver, amber smoke, clove, and oudh. There's that oudh again. 3/5 Smiling Melancholy Perfume Oil Distant, enigmatic, shadowed: delicate heliotrope and pale rose petals, muted and soft, resting atop a chilly, intimate base that blends white musk, cashmere woods, and a touch of tonka bean. Might be good. 3/5 Strange Paroxysms of Languid Adoration Perfume Oil
Parasitic intoxication: narcissus, opium poppy, and red orchid veiled in heliotrope, blush sandalwood, and crushed violet. Narcissus is a deal breaker for me. 2/5 That Silvery Splendor Perfume Oil Moon-kissed petals of night-blooming florals aflame with hypnotic opium tar, fae tuberose, and a sliver of metallic aldehyde. I'd smell it but it will probably be soapy on me. 2/5 The Fading Crimson of the Sky Perfume Oil A scent both bright and subdued: bergamot shuddering through lime leaves, ruby-tinged amber sunlight, violet leaf, oak bark, and sandalwood smoke. Sounds kind of interesting. 3/5 The Great and Titled Dead Perfume Oil The haunted stillness of a long-decayed cemetery plot choked by ivy and wild blackberry thorns. Very interested. 4/5 Troubled by Revenants Perfume Oil
A paean to ancient malevolence and the unseen forces that grasp and scratch at the living like gnarled roots clawing through blood-stained soil in midnight forests: patchouli, mandrake root, black pepper, and fossilized amber. Somewhat interested. 3/5 You Are Mine, You Shall Be Mine, You and I Are One for Ever Perfume Oil
The consuming intensity of a passion that claims body and soul, blurring the boundaries between longing and obsession, lust and loathing. Ylang ylang and clove evoke the heat of skin against skin, bruised by bittersweet blackcurrant honey kisses. I like the concept a lot but wary of some notes, especially "honey kisses". 3 or 4/5 Halloween 2024 - Freak in the Sheets Pt. II Lavender Silk Sheet Ghost Perfume Oil A sleek, seductive eternal slumber: silky ripples of spectral lavender cascading around the labdanum-shadowed absence of a living being. Wary of labdanum, otherwise sounds good. 3 or 4/5 Motel Sheet Ghost Perfume Oil Chills and thrills, but certainly no frills: a polluted, rough-riding version of the Traditional Sheet Ghost: cool white cotton, marshmallow fluff, and lemony Oman frankincense, marred with suspicious blotches of coconut oil and a cigarette burn. Pass on this one. 2/5 Traditional Sheet Ghost Perfume Oil Boo! Cool white cotton, marshmallow fluff, and lemony Oman frankincense. My bottle from last year is enough. 1/5 Tropical Print Sheet Ghost Perfume Oil Does the carcass match the drapes? Cascades of banana Leaf, bamboo fiber, mango, papaya, and hibiscus, streaked with ectoplasm and sticky tears of strelitzia sap. Not for me. 2/5 Halloween 2024 - Halloween Atmospheres 2024 Pass on atmo sprays. 1/5 Pumpkin Nut Bread Atmosphere Spray Pumpkin puree baked into a walnut-studded loaf, steaming with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.

Pumpkin Spice Beard Oil Pumpkin spice EVERYTHING. Type AB-Beard Oil For the most discerning vampires. Dragon’s blood resin, black cherry, clove, cardamom, black leather, and kyphi smoke. Halloween 2024 - Halloween Hair Glosses 2024 No hg for me. 0/5 Autumn Bouquet Hair Gloss Carnations, sunset roses, hydrangea, and sunflowers bound in a clove-tinged pumpkin-orange velvet ribbon. Halloween 2024 - Heloise & Abelard’s Spooky Single Notes Black Lipstick Perfume Oil A goth awakening: waxy drugstore lipstick and clove cig residue. Pass for me. 2/5 Blood Squib Perfume Oil A sanguinous firecracker of cherry simple syrup and dragon’s blood resin. Might be nice but I already have Blood. 2 or 3/5 Bonfire Perfume Oil The perfume of withering leaves, their brittle forms surrendering to the flame, releasing a sigh of bitter smoke that is flickering with the ghosts of summer’s memory. Probably pass, I have some scents like this already. 2/5 Candied Apple Perfume Oil Sour green apples encased in a sticky shell of iconic glossy red caramelized sugar syrup. I don't like green apple perfumes, usually. 1/5 Clown White Perfume Oil No joke! Greasy petrolatum, lanolin, and titanium dioxide accords smeared with vanilla cream. Please note: this product contains no clowns or clown-derived materia. Pass for me. 2/5 Datura Blossom Perfume Oil Corpse white and bruise-purple, sacred datura is native to my west coast homeland. A seductive, heady, hypnotic bloom, as poisonous as it is beautiful. I'm interested, but just have no idea what it smells like. It could go either way. 4/5 Graveyard Dirt Perfume Oil This is the scent of pure graveyard dust, spattered with grave loam and dusted lightly with tombstone moss. I have a bottle already. 1/5 Insulation Board Tombstone Perfume Oil A fragrant melange of foam insulation board, PVC pipes, jigsaw grease, stone-textured spray paint, and polyurethane sealant. Pass for me. 2/5 Halloween 2024 - Nightmare Novellas Pt. II Fuchsia Eyes Perfume Oil
Blood-tinged raspberries oozing into globs of blackcurrant and red plum. A "fruit notes only" scent isn't that interesting to me, it needs to have something else. 2/5 Hatman Perfume Oil Scarlet musk, red oud, opium poppy, and tobacco absolute. Sounds too red. 2/5 Hollow Hallow Perfume Oil
A suffocating pumpkin kyphi soaked in dark red wine and darkened by vetiver, opoponax, and black oud. Possible decant. 3/5 Jolly Perfume Oil
Pumpkin cream, caramel-coated marshmallow, crushed candy corn, lemon peel, and belladonna honey. Doesn't sound like my thing. 2/5 Leaf Spirits Perfume Oil
Smoky vetiver, flaming sparks of black pepper, clove, and nutmeg, charred wood, and dark amber. Sounds too dark and raspy, but I'd try it. 2/5 Sleight of Hand Perfume Oil Incense-tarred patchouli, opoponax, blackened cloth, frankincense resin, and black moss. Hmmm... Sounds a little rough but I'm somewhat curious. 3/5 Slowly She Turned Perfume Oil
Flaming amber, queen mandarin rind, yellow peppercorn, scorched yellow roses, and a hint of decay. Interested, likely decant. 3/5 Sweet Tooth Perfume Oil Scorched candy corn and melted toffees Pass for me. 2/5 The Autumn Folk Perfume Oil
Hay-dusted oak, honey mead, pumpkin rind, vetiver root, corn husk, and maple leaves. Couple of no-no notes for me, the combination doesn't appeal very much. 2/5 The Bell Witch Perfume Oil
Rusted iron, mandrake root, burnt vetiver, and patchouli leaves Sounds very cold and raspy. 2/5 The Treat Keeper Perfume Oil Dried apples, sour apple mash, and molasses. Not an apple perfume fan. 2/5 Halloween 2024 - Pile of Leaves 2024 Copperhead Snake on Dead Leaves Perfume Oil Snake Oil slithering through a scattering of dead leaves with amber, cardamom, cistus, hops, white sandalwood, neroli, orris root, and smoked vanilla.

I actually have a bottle in my cart. 4/5 Moroccan Pumpkin Perfume Oil Pumpkin spices wind through a blend of warm musk, carnation, red sandalwood and cassia. Interested but I already have bottles of Morocco and Pomegranate Morocco. Not sure about this. 3/5 Pumpkin Bliss Perfume Oil Honey-dusted milk chocolate pumpkin bites. Honey and chocolate, no thank you. 1/5 Pumpkin Blood Perfume Oil Pumpkin pulp and dragon’s blood resin, thickened with myrrh, black cherry, and a trickle of clove. Somewhat interested, but I already have a bottle of Blood. 2 or 3/5 Pumpkin Kisses Perfume Oil Sloppily sexy: sweetly spiced pumpkin juice with vanilla cream and wildflower honey, smeared with the vital throb of husky clove, swollen red cherries, but darkened with the vampiric sensuality of vetiver, soporific poppy and blood red wine, and a skin-light pulse of feral musk. Very interested, 4/5 Pumpkin Lust Perfume Oil We don’t judge. Red musk, patchouli, ylang ylang, myrrh, and pumpkin guts. Probably pass 2/5 Pumpkin Smokestack Perfume Oil Burnt pumpkin skins, creosote, coal, and industrial waste. Pass 1/5 Pumpkin Tombstone Perfume Oil I’m yer pumpkinberry: dried pumpkin leather with vanilla, balsam and sassafras layered over Virginia cedar. Probably pass 2/5 Halloween 2024 - Wild Hearses Atmosphere Spray Series No atmo spray for me, 0/5 Convertible Hearse Atmosphere Spray The cadaver, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind: a chilly whoosh of dead leaves seasoned with the perfect amount of smog. Headless Hearseman Atmosphere Spray A bottomless swirl of black leather, dead branches, and flaming pumpkin guts. Hearse of Pancakes Atmosphere Spray There’s still a little time to kill before the viewing… surely it wouldn’t hurt to stop for a short stack? Black coffee, syrup-drenched buckwheat cakes, and a crusty cruller for the road. Hiss and Hearse Atmosphere Spray A dribble of Dorian and a squiggle of Snake Oil, delicately stirred with a moss-crusted muddy shovel. Hot Pink Hearse Atmosphere Spray A dream hearse for anyone who grew up presiding over numerous doll funerals: flashy pink guava, strawberry jam, sugared pink grapefruit, blackberry, bergamot, and pink champagne adorned with a gleaming chrome Landau bar. Lime Green Hearse Atmosphere Spray A shiny, genteel, vintage ride for all those who feel dead inside: lime rind, citron, petitgrain, white musk, a swish of bay rum and a bit of black pepper.
