by Halloween
Halloween is an intensely floral and aquatic fragrance with a distinct green and watery character that unfolds with a sense of mystery and elegance. It opens with a crisp, green banana leaf and citrusy petitgrain note, layered with fresh sea notes that evoke a cool, ocean breeze. A prominent violet note dominates the center, fresh, slightly cool and subtly powdery, giving it a delicate, youthful purity. The base embraces a soft, airy sweetness from Madagascar vanilla, hinting at sandalwood and subtly incense-like myrrh, contributing an understated warmth and depth without going heavy or musky. The scent is consistently praised for its luminous quality — not sweet or cloying, but ethereal and balanced, ideal for day wear. It exudes a sense of quiet enchantment, likened to a fairy tale or early morning forest mist, and leaves behind a gentle, traceable trail, making it highly wearable and distinctive. While some find it linear or too watery, many regard it as timeless, deeply personal, and capable of evoking nostalgia or dreamlike imagery. Its longevity and projection are moderate, often lingering for hours on clothing, making it surprisingly long-lasting for such a fresh composition. The naming of this scent as 'Halloween' is frequently questioned, as it bears no overt darkness, spooky, or ghoulish qualities. Instead, its name resonates through its visual identity and emotional nuance, cleverly hinting at an unseen mystery and timeless allure. Over time, it may feel predictable to some due to widespread use, yet it retains a core appeal in its clean, distinct floral- aquatic character, especially in calm weather and for those seeking a subtle, refined signature scent that lingers with grace.
