Halloween Halloween is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997, created by Max Gavarry. Halloween opens with Sea Water, Petitgrain, Violet, and Banana, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Magnolia, Lily Of The Valley, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, Myrrh, and Incense. Halloween's Halloween carries a Favourite verdict, a violet floral-led wear.

A truly divisive 90s classic that's either a nostalgic, ethereal violet dream or a chilling, synthetic aquatic nightmare. Nobody's neutral on this one. If you like unique, cool-toned florals, it's worth a sniff - just be prepared for it to be very 'of its time'.

While some find it seductive, its airy nature might lack the gravitas for formal events, and its aquatic freshness makes it a good gym companion.

About

Opens with an icy blast of violet and sea notes, sharpened by petitgrain and a hint of green banana leaf. As it settles, delicate lily of the valley and magnolia emerge, underpinned by a subtle-but-spicy kick of pepper and creamy tuberose. The dry-down introduces a soft, powdery veil of sandalwood and vanilla, with a whisper of mysterious incense and myrrh, grounding the transient floral-aquatic heart.
