HALLOWEEN PERFUMES! Ghost Farts- Possets

PERFUME: Ghost Fart

COMPANY: Possets

AVAILABILITY: Halloween Limited Edition

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION:Oh good grief! It must be a ghost fart! This annual blend is back to haunt us all again. Ethereal, very unusual, and about as easy to explain as spiritual flatulence. Actually, it's real nice stuff and you really should try it, but don't try to explain it. Foody gourmand.

This perfume is one of the most popular blends that Possets has and it appears every Halloween. This is why I really wanted to try it when I was a possets newbie. It has just the most hilarious name ever! I don't really remember from which year my decant is from. I think it's 2010.

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Cherry, almond and musk.

WET ON SKIN: This goes foodie! Like almond cake. Sadly, it reminds me a cherry syrup that I used when I was a child. When I had first tried it I didn't like it at all, it was too much cherry. Now after some years of aging it's more of the musk and the almonds.

DRY DOWN: It has very good staying power but I just can't get over the cherry syrup comparison in my head.

FINAL THOUGHTS: It's not for me. But I can't only imagine how fun it would be if while I was wearing this someone asks me what perfume I wear!

PERFUME: Almond milk

COMPANY: Firebird

AVAILABILITY: Available via Firebird's Etsy site

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION:Soft, sensual, intoxicating: almond, vanilla, musk, a wisp of white chocolate. This fragrance manages to be both a soothing comfort scent and incredibly sexy at the same time (try it- you'll see what I mean). Sugary perfume haters need not apply, but lovers of all things sweet and gourmand- I think you'll enjoy this one quite a bit.

BEFORE I SMELL: When I read the rave reviews that Dee and Su had written on this I had to buy a full size unsniffed. Check their amazing reviews here and here and you will buy one yourself too!

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Sweet almond like macaroon but “fresher”

WET ON SKIN: Now I get the white chocolate too. It's very yummy but not sickening sweet

DRY DOWN: Soft and very addictive. I keep reapplying this while I am sitting on my sofa. The almond here is not the sharp kind and I think that this perfume will please almost everyone so, it's a great idea for a gift

FINAL THOUGHTS I want the body cream too!

Possets- Terra Bella

PERFUME: Terra Bella

COMPANY: Possets

AVAILABILITY: Spring 2011 (Limited Edition)

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: Named The Beautiful Earth, this warm and lovely blend relies on the finest Jamacan ginger to paint a picture of a fiery conclusion to the day. A bit of honey for fuel, and drop of almond for the top note piquancy you will relish, a jot of pink peppercorn to bring up the rear. Really special and lovely.

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE:  From the sample I get almond and cinnamon! It’s quite foodie.

WET ON SKIN: At first is heavy on the spice cinnamon, peppercorns and a tiny bit of ginger . I love the almond note in it. Sometimes possets almonds are gross on me ( like fabienne was ) but this one is very nice!

DRY DOWN: The honey used here has a fruity element to it. Like it is a honey made by orange flowers or something. The initial blast of spices burn of after half an hour but if you are very sensitive to spices I don’t recommend this one.

All in all. This is an spicy almond scent with a hint of fruit.

FINAL THOUGHTS: This last almost 3 hours on me but I really like it. If this be available again maybe I will grab a bottle!

PERFUME: Mother Shub's Stygian Nougat

COMPANY: BPAL

AVAILABILITY: Limited, The Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire 2012

OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION: A torpid black nougat with belladonna honey, somnolent lavender, and thyme.

BEFORE I SMELL: I love lavender. When is done well is one of my favorites notes. I also love it when it’s combined with sweeter notes like milk, almond etc..

FROM THE DECANT/BOTTLE: Almond and lavender. Exactly what I was hoping for!

WET ON SKIN: The lavender is very strong at first, Then I get the sweet scent from the honey mingled with the characteristic scent of almond essence. Like the one we use in baking. It’s not a honey scent, it just adds a little bit of sweetness.

DRY DOWN: The thyme it’s noticeable but in balance with the other notes. It’s not overpowering. It stays close to the skin. The final scent is pretty light, so you have to slather!!!

FINAL THOUGHTS: I really like this but you really have to like lavender and almond to enjoy it!
