Ghoul Friend

The making of a Candy Apple with Strawberry Candy Syrup... My first impression was red fruit syrup & flowers. I get strawberry/strawberry syrup, but I also get an apple/apple blossom, peony & citrus. If you imagine a candy apple (not a caramel apple) being made, with strawberry candy coating still in liquid form you'd be close. I agree with other reviewers that there's nothing sinister here, and the closest to Halloween I get is a candy apple, so it really could be worn year round. Overall, it's a strawberry syrup & apple scent that could be easily layered with other scents to bring out a strawberry facet (and the possibilities here are endless as it doesn't have patchouli or lactonics so it's somewhat streamlined so to speak). Love it. Enjoy! My favourite layerings so far are listed below (1 spray each in adjacent spots, unless followed by another number).

I have to say it... Ghoul Friend is one of the cutest and best smelling things B&BW has EVER done for their Halloween line. I finally got my hands on it now that it's out here, and oh my god... I'm obsessed. It's so sweet and fruity with that perfect mix of flirty and fun that just makes you want to keep smelling yourself all day. The peony note is front and center (which I love), and it blends so well with the berry sweetness. It's girly, cozy, and a little mischievous... basically the perfect Halloween scent for someone who prefers sweet and pretty over dark and heavy stuff imo. ANYWAY, if you're into sweet, bright, peony heavy scents that make you feel cute and confident, Ghoul Friend is 100% a must. I'm so happy it finally dropped in my country because this one is staying in my collection permanently!!

Bought this and the body wash about a month ago when there was a sale on travel size and boy do I wish I had gotten the full size! I went to the site yesterday to see if there was any more and it’s gone. Hopefully this is a permanent Halloween scent and I’ll be able to get it next year. It reminds me of something along the lines of Burberry Her/Elixir or Thomas K Candy. This layers well with those fragrances as well as BBW Champagne Apple& Honey. It’s sooo girly and sweet! I love it! I have to admit the love was a slow burn but I’m fully into her, now!

I absolutely LOVE this scent! ❤️ I haven't actually smelled the fragrance mist yet, but I have the body wash and it smells AMAZING! 😍 The main accords put fresh as the most prominent, but I have to disagree. I get a LOT of strawberry in it, followed by a little bit of the peony, and then a hint of citrus. The only possibly negative thing I would say about it is it doesn't smell like a Fall scent to me. I think it screams Spring and Summer.

I'm gonna start off by saying I am a gourmand junkie. The sweeter the better for me and recently , my nose is taking a liking to sweet freshy florals. That's what this is. It's not candy like what I was expecting nor is it sugary. It's a fresh sweet fruity perfume like fragrance. I do get a fresh out the shower and ready to love on my partner type of vibe. It's good for warm weather, anyone could sweat in this and still smell amazing.

if there’s anything I love in this world besides indolic jasmines, it’s synthetic strawberry. Say what you will about synthetic strawberry smells, but to me they’re nostalgic, delicious, and super fun. If you want a realistic strawberry, this won’t be for you. However, if you’re looking for a syrupy sweet strawberry floral to make you feel like a scented strawberry shortcake doll come to life, this is it

This is the nostalgic scent of a hello Kitty store!! Late 1980s you walked into that store and the plasticky fruit scented erasers, and strawberry candies on a stick. You know that smell. This is that smell! I fell in love instantly. This is definitely a happy place scent. I have the body spray and I’d love to get the lotion -hoping this comes back next Halloween season.

Unfortunately, I was late to the party and should have gotten this a lot sooner. Sprayed this today and came off very bubble gummy but calms down somewhat citrusy. This should have been in the spring line under a different name lol. This doesn’t give me spooky vibes or anything. Very playful and fruity.

Ghoul Friend is my favorite BBW mist. It’s tart, fruity, juicy, and FUN. It has a fruity booziness like Champagne Toast’s more intense fruitier sister. It’s one of BBW’s stronger mists as well. Definitely on the more youthful candy-like side.

it makes me smell like candy (some ppl say it makes me smell like grapes ???) but i wear it w vampire blood lotion and it smells super good 😋😋

this is actually insanely good i love how tart it is. It reminds me of something i can’t exactly put my foot on, but i’m absolutely obsessed.

Yeah, I love this mist♡ It's super fruity, but it has a slightly beerlike scent to it.

My cousin had (maybe still has?) some stuff in this scent. It lingers in the air pleasantly for a little while after spraying. It's interesting that people cited peony highest here, as I have the entirely opposite impression; I think strawberry is the main player here. In fact, it reminded me strongly of The Body Shop's "Strawberry" products immediately upon smelling. The hand soap in this fragrance in particular is very strawberry forward. This is also moderately orangey, and lightly floral. GF also very much reminds me of a less floral "Love and Sunshine" by B&BW, despite the wildly different packaging and presentation (which also features strawberry). I mean, "Ghoul Friend" is cute and all, but nothing about this is autumnal or Halloween-ish whatsoever. It's just a fairly linear and understandable summery fragrance. (Cross posted from other entry.) Sorry guys, this is Vampire Blood. It's just a repackage, they used to label products with "Ghoul Friend" a few years ago. Some people are going to get snippy and say I'm wrong, whatever 😒 🙄 It's very similar to Gingham Gorgeous, like 90%, but if you smell them side-by-side they're a little different. The strawberry here is a little denser.

It reminds me a lot of strawberry soda-- and just a fairly light, pleasant strawberry sweetness! I like this for a body mist, though it still has that "headache inducing sharpness" that all body mists seem to have. This one's is pretty light, though. It's funny because this scent doesn't really smell like anything having to do with Halloween or ghouls, it's actually very spring-esque!

A delicate and fresh fruity floral that makes me feel a bit nostalgic. The fruitiness melds rather nicely with the fresh flowers, which lend a kind of soapiness to the scent that ultimately reminds me of a strawberry shampoo I used to use as a teen. The longevity is a bit lackluster on the skin, but it does last a little longer on clothes.

This was my go to spray in college but I'll try not to let that bias me. I still like it but it's not the first one I grab anymore. I was first lured by the branding but I do really love the sweety strawberry smell with the slightly deeper undertones

It's really good!!! I know it's a Halloween scent but it reminds me of Winter. Not Christmas-Winter but Winter Winter. In a good way. Unfortunately when it dries off it gives off the smell of cough medicine, probably due to the strawberry scent.

Not my favorite but a definite like. Strawberry candy and powdery peony mixed in one. I wouldn't say it's a Halloween scent at all but something that is likeable to get you through a stressful day.

Remarkably fresh for being a sweet floral fragrance. Great for all but the summer heat. I'm not sure about the rose accord but the fruity freshness almost gives it an ozonic accord.

this is like if strawberry pound cake went for a walk through a botanical garden and chilled out. if a strawberry could be hot pink it would smell like this
