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!

What a stunning cheap perfume! It goes through so many stages so fast, just like a woman. The opening is very sweet and almost like a summer rosè wine. I think the violet with the marine vibes is kind of giving me wine note but not a strong red wine but fruity wine. I am not a fan of wine notes. But I love this. It quickly settles into a sweet powdery violet, calms down after the initial blast. But thats not all! 10 minutes in it has the same power as the opening but less winey. Now its more marine, airy, powdery. The violet is still very prominent. The incense is very well blended and not sharp at all. I think this perfume will perform better in hot weather (I tested it in -15 degrees, still beautiful, the cold air gives it a very icy cold vibe. ) For the price id say 9/10, I could easily see this being a niche quality. No alcohol blast on initial spray, very interesting development, i just wish it was a bit slower.

I love this perfume. I have a 30ml bottle of it and the bottle is small and cute! Anyway, the perfume smells cool, relaxing and 'distant'. I like it. I think this kind of perfume is ideal to wear when you want to relax. The notes I can smell are Violet, Magnolia, Banana Leaf, Sea Notes, a bit of Myrrh and Pepper and maybe I smell the Petitgrain? I do smell something green and citrusy and I think that's the Petitgrain. I find the Violet, Magnolia and Banana Leaf notes to be the strongest. The other notes would sometimes appear but they are not that dominant. However, after 2 hours, Violet is the most dominating note. The others would hardly be detected. To my nose, at least. On my skin, the perfume lasted around 3 hours or so. On clothing and fabric, 6 hours and above. Overall, this perfume is a fresh floral type.

I discovered this one in random perfume shop while on holiday in Gran Canaria many years ago. I fell in love with it instantly although this is not my preferred scent profile. Surprisingly, Halloween has become one of the very few fragrances that I keep circling back to, I'm on my third bottle now, which is record-breaking for me as I usually get sick of scents after 15-20 ml and declutter. I guess it has earned its forever place in my small collection. I wouldn't wear it in winter or fall but it's my favourite for summer time especially when it's really hot and humid and everything else makes me feel unwell 💜

This fragrance introduced me to violet, which I now love. This is an enchanting and calming scent, I understand the nostalgia other people have mentioned. It’s a different take on Halloween, which I think is a very fitting name and works so well with the bottle and juice. This pixie potion will transport you to an enchanted icy forest cloaked in violets by the ocean... This was a blind buy for me and I really fell in love. It’s just perfection, I would drink it if I could!! I’m not sure what it is but it hits that spot for me. It’s definitely a compliment getter as well. Great longevity on clothes.

Shockingly complex given the pricepoint. Starts out as a fresh, green floral and slowly dries down to a rich, spicy, powdery violet. Longevity is decent, nothing too impressive but still pretty damn good considering the pricepoint. I really like this as a casual daytime scent, very palatable but still unique. Originally bought this because I just found the notes so odd and interesting, and I have to say I've grown very fond of it. If you like violet or green, aromatic florals in general you'll probably enjoy this. Inexpensive and inoffensive! Definitely a safe blind buy 💟

Qué esencia tan exquisita y duradera! Su aroma es muy especial gracias a la combinación de las hermosas y dulces flores de violeta con la frescura de las notas de mar.Es una fragancia fresca y dulce de mucha calidad y muy original con una excelente presentación a un precio muy conveniente. What an exquisite and long lasting essence! Its aroma is very special thanks to the combination of beautiful and sweet violet flowers with fresh sea notes. It is a fresh and sweet fragrance of high quality and very original with excellent presentation at a great price.

I was looking for a more grown-up version of Princess, which is one of my go-to cozy, sweet-floral scent, but feels a little immature. Maybe it's the bottle, I don't know. Admittedly, the bottle here feels pretty cheap. The juice, however, is wonderful. Violet is my HG note, has been for years, but it's so difficult to find something that does it right and that has decent longevity/sillage. This is soft but not light–sounds oxymoronic, I know, but it's true! Entering October, I think it'll be perfect for scarves and cardigans and boots.

I went through multiple bottles of this when I was younger. I looooved it and still do. It’s very unique with it’s bananaleaf and violet notes and refreshing without being ‘standard aquatic’. There’s nothing like it imo. I’ve always worn it in summer. The performance is quite good for a fresher scent. It does have the tendency to turn in a few years so get the 30 ml if you have many perfumes. It’s inexpensive, and to my perception not drastically reformulated. The name doesn’t fit the fragrance, but the violet color does.

This is the first perfume I bought myself as a teenager. At the age of 16 the name intrigued me! I swore I wanted to give off the witchy vibes the purple color gives you. I LOVE this scent. I get the aquatic violet and lily of the valley notes right off the bat. After a while I get woody and peppery notes. It’s long lasting and has great silage. I have owned many versions of this. My 2 favorites being Freesia and Water Lily. I’d recommend this to any age group. I wore it proudly at 16 and I gladly rock it in my 30’s.

This will always be my favorite perfume. It is so lovely that it brings me back to my teenage years. I have yet to find a similar scent. The violet is so precious here that I don't think it can be recreated despite the fact that I have heard people claim this is one of the easiest perfumes to make. However, I still have yet to find something that smells better or equal. I no longer find it online, so I am unable to buy it. Would appreciate if any of you guys can suggest perfumes along this spectrum ...

It is so charming. A moody, lyrical scent of violets, magnolia, water and banana leaves. Everything perfectly proportioned. Love at first sniff and it retains its uniqueness. I adore it for summer evenings and for spring. Its clarity and translucency fits warm weather and the mood fits rain. And it lasts long. It turned yellowish near transparent in my bottle for some reason, a pity, the color of violet suited it perfectly. But it is old, still Jesus del Pozo... Strange that they dropped the name.

I’ve had more than 100 fragrances in my life. I’ve tried very expensive fragrances. But Halloween is just amazing. My favorite fragrance. Lasts all day, it’s smells very intense on my skin. And of course, the violet note makes me nostalgic. I think it’s the most feminine fragrance I’ve used. The smell is addictive. I’m on my 5th bottle right now (it’s a lot considering I am always using dozens of other fragrances simultaneously). I always go back to this one. And I always get compliments on it.

I've been looking for a childhood smell that I could only describe as a tinkerbell sent. I bought this on a blind buy at Ross one day. I like Halloween so I gave it a try and I'm so glad I did. Omg! That was my smell I've been looking. It has to be the violets cuz it's nine both notes. I wear this everyday. I just wish the smell was stronger on my skin. It will last 24hrs on my clothing. But this is my go to smell. I will buy it everytime I see it at the chain stores.

So, I really don't know how I rate this perfume. I love violets so much, and I like the magnolia that comes through as well but it IS a little too cold/aquatic for me, which almost makes it lean just a liiiiiiittle bit masculine like a cheap cologne. However, I decided it needs layering with something warm and feminine so I layer it with warm vanilla scents and I love it that way. Smells so gorgeous layered and it's my favorite thing to wear now in the spring.

It is my second bottle after ten years and I can assure - it is amazing! I am also very lucky that this guy does not give me a headache, as many other perfume. I would describe the smell as mystical, aquatic, soothing, seducting in a refined way. I strongly believe that women use perfume for themselves but I cannot miss the fact that men love it also :) Love this perfume, it makes me feel that my life is a poem ;)
