Halloween breakdown 2024
All Hallows Oud Perfume Oil
Black oud spookied up with pumpkin puree, amaretto, scorched caramel, almond paste, cacao nibs, and honey.
Wary of oud, especially black oud. Also I generally avoid both caramel and honey. Interest level rating: 2/5
Bonfire Toffee Perfume Oil
Our spin on a traditional Guy Fawkes Night treat: treacle toffee soaked in rich, dark bourbon.
I think I've tried this before but I can't remember for sure. At any rate, it's not really calling me. 2/5
Bourbon-Soaked Pumpkin Peanut Butter Fudge Perfume Oil
Gooey.
I just have no interest in nuts or nut butter in perfume. 1/5
Dry Ice Cocktail Perfume Oil
A sparkling absinthe martini swirled with a glow stick and overflowing with cascades of dry ice fog.
I like absinthe notes but dry ice fog makes me think of one of the "fog" scents that I tried a few years ago, I think it was a Yule series? And I didn't like that one much. Anyway this one isn't calling to me. 2/5
Pumpkin Latte Perfume Oil
Espresso, pumpkin syrup, smoky vanilla bean, milk, raw sugar, and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.
This sounds like a candle scent to me, which isn't necessarily bad, but I just never had much interest in this one. 2/5
Pumpkin Musk and Black Oud Perfume Oil
A strangely romantic, disturbingly erotic perfume.
Has this come out before? I feel like I've tried it. Pass for now. It wasn't bad (if it was the same scent), just not calling me right now. 2/5
Pumpkin Spice Everything Perfume Oil
Literally everything! Pumpkin spice it all with this traditional brew of cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and clove.
I have a decant and like it, don't need more. 2/5
Pumpkin Spice Halo-Halo Perfume Oil
With apologies to my ancestors. Ube halaya and ube ice cream chonked with mango jelly, flan, boiled taro, evaporated milk, sweetened kidney beans, dried coconut, kaong, gulaman, tapioca pearls, and a copious shake of pumpkin spice.
Sounds interesting, I wouldn't mind trying a decant. 3/5
Pumpkin Sugar Perfume Oil
Crystallized glittering shards of lightly spiced pumpkin sugar.
I have an old decant and like it, but not sure I need more or not. I will retest it in the near future. 3/5
Samhain Perfume Oil
Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein.
I love Samhain, but I don't need more. 2/5
Sugar Skull Perfume Oil
Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits.
I love Sugar Skull but don't need more - although I'm curious if it's different this year! It seems there are some different versions of it in the last few years. Maybe a decant. 3/5
Vintage Pumpkin Blow Mold Perfume Oil
A grinning, glowing gourd gleaming with 40 watts of radiant white musk, sweet orange, crystalline amber, and pumpkin rind.
I have this in my cart, Vintage Ghost was so good, I'm interested in this too. 4/5
Halloween 2024 - Carmilla
A Glare of Skulking Ferocity Perfume Oil
Scorched oud, bitter resins, black musk, a torn shred of gossamer vanilla, and a clang of metal.
Not sure about oud, bitter resins and metal. Possibly a decant. 2/5
Carmilla Hair Gloss
Sweetness shadowed by danger: dark amber and ylang ylang gleams through smoky chestnut, cacao, mahogany, blackcurrant, and vanilla bean.
No hg for me, I have enough.
Chocolat Viennois Perfume Oil
Turns out this is a thing that vampires are into. A warm mug of dark chocolate and cream with a dribble of blood.
Chocolate perfumes aren't usually my thing. 2/5
Come With Me, Loving Me to Death Perfume Oil
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.

Woodmoke, glowing embers, drifting ash, and the memory of bones.

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

Scorched candy corn and melted toffees
Pass for me. 2/5

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.

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

We don’t judge. Red musk, patchouli, ylang ylang, myrrh, and pumpkin guts.
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.
