My Wish
If most fruit perfumes strike you as too simple and most florals too polite, Halloween My Wish Eau de Parfum 100ml sits between the two and borrows from both.
The structure is easy to follow. Cherry leads, sweet and jammy; blackcurrant sharpens it; violet leaf throws a green, bitter, leaf stem coolness over the top. Gardenia and jasmine then take the middle, both creamy and full, the gardenia carrying that faintly savoury edge which stops white flowers smelling like soap. Below them patchouli brings earth, caramel a dark burnt sweetness and oakmoss its bitter wet green, and those three make the drydown the most grown up part of the fragrance.
Eight materials in all, used in a way that keeps something sharp against something sweet at every stage. It is not a complicated perfume to understand, but it is a well balanced one, and it does not smell like the fruity florals it will be shelved beside. The caramel in particular does more than add sweetness, because it answers the cherry three hours later. The concentration here is good for a long day of wear, settling close to the skin after the first hour or so and leaving a trace on clothes overnight. Cooler months suit it best and it comes into its own in the evening, at dinner or anywhere the light is low. It is aimed at women, and the 100ml bottle is the standard size for it.
Halloween is a Spanish fragrance line made for the Madrid couturier Jesus del Pozo, whose first shop opened in 1974 and who died in 2011. Perfumes y Diseno has produced the scents since 1992 and went on to acquire the fashion business, and Halloween is the name the line is best known by.
