A bit of fun! To mark the approach of Halloween – which is an event I don’t think I’ve ever ‘celebrated’ in my entire life – I decided to devote a YouTube video to a Top 10 list of scary perfumes: scents that are in some way unsettling, intimidating or creepy. Needless to say, the subject generated a fair amount of discussion amongst the live audience, so do take the time to read their comments and their own suggestions for frightening fragrances. Here’s a link to the video: Top 10 scary perfumes for Halloween 2022. The complete list of scents is below.

This is such an interesting list! Very thematic and Halloween-y. Personally, I find highly salty marine scents the scariest. Something about them feels like dripping poison and toxicity to me; I admire the artistry but just can’t wear them. Womanity feels like a double-scary scent to me because it combines that dripping saltiness with a bright pink melon bubblegum that makes me think of popular high school girls that would give you a weird look across the hallway. I have a sample of Secretions Magnifiques that’s been sitting unopened for months because I just can’t make myself face it, lol.
Thanks for this, Sophie. Yes, there was definitely something quite scary about Womanity. And something quite angry too.
