We finally got some real fall weather today, and I'm jumping up and down with happiness. Fall / Winter is my favorite season for fragrances, and I finally get to put away all these freshies and pull out my woods and spices and dark florals. But even more than that, it's Halloween season. And so I really get to have fun. Looking at my collection, I've put together a selection of Halloween friendly fragrance to wear over the next 13 days. And we are doing an informal Halloween film festival watching some of our favorite Halloween movies, so I'm trying to pair each fragrance with a movie. I would love to get y'all's take on this, too. What are y'alls favorite Halloween / Fall fragrances? What are you most excited to wear? And is there a Halloween movie that's on your "must watch" list? And before I start, I want to single out Xyrena as a brand. I am excluding them from the list for the most part because otherwise, they might be the entire list. They have fragrances based on tons of my favorite horror movies, and they are based right here in Austin, Texas (though they don't have a public storefront, and the nearest retail spot is in Oregon). If you've never seen their stuff, I encourage you to go visit their web page. Their bottles are shaped like VHS tapes, and the boxes are designed like old VHS movie boxes from the 80s and 90s. 10/19 - PDM Percival (Montagne Perceval). The ultimate mall fragrance that brings back memories of shopping in the 80s and 90s. This might not sound like Halloween, until you pull out your VCR and put in Chopping Mall (1986). The ultimate robot killer final girl movie from a time when movies like this could get green lit and funded. They really don't make them like this anymore. 10/20 - HexMundi Love Witch. Inspired by the movie The Love Witch (2016). It's ritual tea, bright citrus, fruits and claret, that echoes the tea and wine she uses to serve her potions. If you've never seen it, it's a glorious and loving homage to 1960s technicolor exploitation movies.
