    Devil’s Night in the Pumpkin Patch

    Devil's Night in the PP is clearly the cool kid in the pumpkin patch. You get cool autumn breeze, the impression of a black leather jacket, a whiff of musk and smoke, and notes of pumpkin that probably has taken a swig of whiskey somewhere but you sure as heck can't find a flask on this pumpkin, no sirree. All you get is that insolent stare and smirk, and you know this pumpkin is playing games with you. Deep down, you also know you're beat and this pumpkin is definitely cooler than you. Medium throw and wear length.

    Haunted Pumpkin Patch

    Black musk, pumpkin vines, and a whiff of amber. This is mainly a black musk and green vines on me. Dangerous. Slithery. Low-key sexy. Actually, would be a great Halloween scent for anyone who is House Slytherin. Medium throw and wear length.

    Pumpkin Spice Antikythera Mechanism

    Smoky tobacco, vanilla pumpkin and a whiff of woods. I get a ton of smoke from this one. Like somehow the pumpkin managed to set the AM on fire, and there's a ton of smoke leftover, and woods. Medium throw and wear length.

    The Lurid Library’s Pumpkin Patch

    Incense, weeds, pumpkin and a whiff of leather. So, this definitely smells someone tried to summon a demon in a library but ended up summoning an infernal pumpkin that has clearly taken over the library and does not give two damns that this used to be a library for nefarious purposes, and has re-purposed it as a pumpkin patch for its own malefic purposes. So yes, demon pumpkin takes over your library. Medium throw and wear length.

    Miskatonic University’s Pumpkin Patch

    Bailey's irish coffee, pumpkin, dust, and a whiff of beeswaxed library floors. Misk U has always been the most "bookish" of scents for me, but typically too much polished wood. This time however, the pumpkin tames all of that wood down to the grown, and I get this perfectly spiked Bailey's and PSL, books, and some beeswaxed wood. It's like the perfect autumn afternoon in a regal library. Lovely. Medium throw and wear length.

    Pumpkin Spice Blood Kiss

    Wine. This is one of the wine heavy version of Blood Kiss. I get red wine, pumpkin, and a whiff of cherries and clove. It's like a pumpkin sangria. GREAT throw and wear length.

    Sugar Skulls in the Pumpkin Patch

    Sugar, pumpkin spice, and a whiff of cinnamon. This honestly makes me think of a Mexican version of Pumpkin Spice Latte. You get the pumpkin, the sugar, the cinnamon, and something that distinctly feels like a Day of the Dead celebration pumpkin. Good throw and wear length.

    Apple Sugar

    Wine/jammy apple, and a whiff of rose sugar. No seriously, rose sugar. UGH. This smells like an apple perfume mixed with rose jam. Yes, yes, it should be an abomination, but its just sweet, nostalgic, and reminds me to a time when Trick or Treating meant you could literally get a caramel apple from someone and not be worried that it was a) poisoned, b) full of drugs, or c) weird. Just a good wholesome throwback. Medium throw and wear length.

    Cozy Pumpkin Sweater

    Take pumpkin spice and make it a sweater. Or literally take sweaters, wash them in pumpkin spice, and then wear them. This is what that would smell like. Sweaters. And pumpkin spice. Good throw and wear length.

    Dusk in Autumn

    Currant cake, leaves, and hearth smoke. This smells like a Sabbath. You know, you bake a cake because you're gonna have visitors over. Your yard is covered in leaves, and mandrake roots. You've stoked the fire. You're ready for everyone to arrive on an autumn wind, wild and untamed. Full of vim and glee. Perfect for the witch hostest with the mostest. Good throw and wear length.

    Pistacho Pumpkin Truffle

    Belgian chocolate, strong nutmeg and pistacho. Foodie, chocolatey, nutmeggy. Great throw and wear length.

    The Standing Stone at Pendle Hill Atmosphere Spray

    Salt air, blood, grass, cedar, and a whiff of fir. This smells like a battlefield. Or like something you summoned from a demonic pit. Either way, super atmospheric for Halloween or whenever you need to scare the living daylights out of someone. Or convince them your house is haunted.
  22. Black pine, and notes of both honey and clove. Its mainly pine to my nose, but oddly enough because of the honey and clove, does not code as Yule. Just pine. Also vaguely Shunga-esque, and very assertive. For you pine lovers.

    Two Pairs of Lovers Atmosphere Spray

    Frankincense, patchouli and a whiff of green tea. There's an astringency that I did not expect. The frankincense smooths the edges of the patchouli, and its got this minty overlay. So its this complex mint, earth, and green tea mix.

    The Listeners

    Bright hit of yuzu, followed by a mix of violets and lilac, and a whiff of white champa and orris. The first note on wet, is a bracing yuzu and its clear and sparkling, after which y ou get both the lilac and violets. As it dries, I get a bit more of the amber, which drives it into a more perfume territory for me. I am left with a bright violet/lilac blend, on a bed of dusty champa and orris, and warm amber. It's both bright, haunting, and just a little weird. Low throw and wear length.

    Fall, Leaves, Fall

    Maple leaves, black currant, blue musk and a whiff of roses. This one is mainly a maple leaves-blue musk blend on me with enough black currant and roses to sort of hide the oudh that lurks about. After about 15 minutes, the oudh does make its presence known, ever so lightly. Actually, this probably could be considered a "dead leaf" variant, but the DL note is much softer, and yes, it is a maple leaf as opposed to straight up DL. Blue musk always codes as contemplative on me, so it's much brighter on wet, and dries down to a cool autumn night in a leaf pile. Medium throw and wear length.
