Halloween

I love it but attention if you put it on skin the notes would transform wouldn't not be something special but if you wear it on clothes...wow divine notes and I really mean it, just divine, it's the same smell like the one I image Archangel Michael have it with a sword in one hand and the blessing power in another, it like an Artemis ritual vibe, incense with flower but not a funeral type like the John G one that one is the definition of a Catholic funeral house, this one is a perfume for a stone lady with some amethyst necklace on her neck because you can feel the violet in it. But is by definition a NIGHT perfume an late evening one, not a day one, the person who wears this by day is a fool who doesn't understand perfume and without a single doubt not a powerful woman. Because again this is a smell for a powerful successful woman, a high career one, a girly woman, or even I don't a heiress or nobiliare woman who doesn't have the feminist powerful vibe can't wear it or can but will look pathetic. A teenager? Let be serious just if that teenager is a Nobel awarded teenager. I don't know why they name this Halloween, I would name it the sound of Artemis, the voice of Athena, the pantheon or Joanna D'Arc but not Halloween because isn't a perfume for children or for playing and if you search Jesus del Pazo you will see in his creation the powerful women suite in clothes, and if I remember correctly a lot of powerful women for European space used to be his clients especially in the early 2000s later he focused more on theater costumes and Max G....he create right now personal perfumes and his clients are the elite of the Euro feminist louge sooo.... By the way, Innocent? Really who write is does not have a nose.

My teenage love, the first scent I have fallen in love with and always need to have. I am also collecting the flankers out of my love for this beauty, especially loving Sun, Freesia and Water Lily ones. These are close to the original, with different notes highlighted. But nothing bits the original. I especially like it in summer for day-wear but it works also well in the spring and autumn, including evening when it is also very fitting. Clean, innocent, bewitching and ethereal. There is something mysterious about it, something misty and filled with eerie colors. The wearer has a mysterious aura in it and as such the name fits. I also love the color and the bell bottle. So cool and iconic. I adore it for summer day, it somehow works wonders. The scent itself is fresh and subtle. Not easily described. Floral, with watery notes and banana leaves. I feel magnolia and violets, banana leaves and watery notes, not necessary sea but maybe. I feel also vanilla and sandalwood later on, but subtly. It is a must-have scent and one of the absolute best light scents for summer. I still love it dearly. It suits me. I always love my time in it. And it projects and lasts well for an edt. 11 hours already of gentle projection. It is never tiring or heavy but I feel it on very well which delights me. Totally dreamy and relaxed. I think I still feel its echo in the morning. I love it when my scent accompanies me the entire day. My husband does not perceive it on me, so it is very safe. But I think it is because it suits me so well. If you see it try it, buy it if you like it cause this is special and wears perfectly. Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne is the intense version of this.

This has been a favorite of mine since my best friend gifted it to me when we were 16. It became my signature scent for Fancy Events, prized and most loved. In my 20s, I'd spray a scarf before traveling and envelop myself in the juicy-green-aquatic-violet anytime. I find it at once calming and energizing, and so pretty - a juicy pick-me-up for when I'm feeling anxious, stressed, or down on myself. It traveled across the country with me, only used on certain occasions. I forgot about it for a few years until I wore it to a wedding this summer and discovered my 17 year old bottle had acquired a hefty bitter note like rotting flowers, which I should've expected with the less-than-ideal storage temps that bottle has endured. Well! I just got a fresh bottle and it's exactly like it was before-before... I'm falling in love with zesty violets like I'm 16 again. I'll admit the initial spray is A Lot, but it settles, just enough, in my opinion. It doesn't smell powdery or spooky to me. Never did understand the name. On me, light incense smoke and sandalwood ground it so that lily of the valley and violet can soar. Halloween is not complicated, it doesn't take me on a journey, but it doesn't need to; it just needs to accompany me on my mine. It is the most feminine fragrance I own, which is probably why I used to save it for high femme occasions. Now we are reunited and I won't let another bottle go bitter.

This scent is a magical witch's potion, most definitely brewed in a cauldron. There's truly nothing like it. Fresh, sweet violets meet petitgrain (sour/bitter note) and pepper, finished by incense, myrrh and sandalwood, but the base somehow comes off as dirty patchouli instead. To my memory, this one had fabulous longevity and satisfactorily strong sillage. Older eau de toiletes were closer to perfume strength as perfumes are today. I preferred this frag in the cooler Spring or Fall months, because the base is heavy and patchouli-ish, and patchouli in the Summer turns my stomach. Spring would be the best season. Not a safe blind buy. Definitely for someone who enjoys oddities and dirty/clean frags. It is both childish and innocent, as well as impure and illicit. It reads as both a young scent, but then again mature. Not a sugary-sweet scent, it's weird, hypnotic and strangely addictive. Damp earth and pretty flowers. Crisp and clean, yet soiled. I am very much contemplating bringing this back to my fragrance collection. I am thinking I can still pull it off. I loved it to the last drop over half a decade ago, and it is memorable for me still. It's a frag most people would not recognize, yet one whiff will be instantly recognized by anyone who has worn or smelled this. I can see it being extremely polarizing, but a love for me forever.

This is a cult classic—at least where I live. I remember my older sister wearing it, and later on, I wore it myself during my teenage years. Back then, I went through a couple of bottles but didn’t repurchase because I wanted to explore other fragrances. A few years ago, I decided to buy again it... and it’s exactly as I remembered: a clean violet, an aquatic floral with just a little hint of tropical (maybe the babana leaf?). On my skin, this is a great performer (especially considering it’s an EDT). It lasts over 12 hours, with excellent sillage and projection during the first 8 hours. Despite the name, I think the bottle captures the essence of the scent perfectly—clean, ethereal, and feminine. If you like violets go for it. For me this is a must have and I will always have one of this in my collection. I Totally recommend it. It’s perfect for spring, summer, and fall, suitable for both daytime and nighttime (though not for very formal events). And I almost forgot to mention—it’s a real compliment-getter!
