Abandoned houses under the cold moonlight, a rustle in the darkness breaking the silence. Midnight strikes, the witching hour begins – creatures awaken that usually remain hidden. Both eerie and fascinating at once. Halloween is all about capturing exactly this feeling: slipping into roles you only know from films and legends. A costume is not just about what can be seen on the outside, but also about the emotion it evokes. And this is where perfumes come into play. They add depth to the appearance, complete the image, and transform a costume into something more – lifting it to another level.
Frightful Fragrance Notes
A Halloween scent has little to do with fruity-floral accords – no mummy smells of blossoms or coconut. If you’re dressing up as a witch or fortune teller, smoky compositions or patchouli are your best choice, creating a mysterious and earthy aura. For costumes like mummy or ghost, fragrances that evoke damp corridors and weathered graveyards are ideal: notes of mint, eucalyptus, and sage bring a chilling sharpness that suits these figures perfectly. Metallic or salty nuances also work well to underline the aura of a ghost or vampire. Those who prefer to appear less frightening but more mysterious and seductive should reach for woody-leathery accords – warm, powerful, and enigmatic, without drifting into sweetness.
