Note Pyramid
Magic
Pear ice cream is the material at the centre of Halloween Magic Eau de Toilette, and it does exactly what the name suggests: cold, creamy, sweet fruit rather than a fresh one off the tree.
Raspberry sits beside it, tart and a little jammy, and yellow mandarin gives the first minutes a bright citrus edge so the opening is not entirely dessert. It is a sweet start, unapologetically so, and it is aimed at people who want their fragrance to be enjoyable rather than impressive. The flowers are chosen to keep it light. Freesia is cool and thin, pink peony is crisp with a dry snap to it, and sambac jasmine is the richest of the three, creamy and heavier, which stops the heart from being merely fruity. Together they give the middle just enough body without turning it into a bouquet. The base is where it settles into comfort. Vanilla is the obvious sweetness, patchouli brings an earthy counterweight that keeps the whole thing from floating away, and tonka bean sits between them with a powdery sweetness that has a cooked, faintly bitter edge underneath it.
Nine materials, released in 2018, and a clear fruity gourmand shape. At eau de toilette strength it is comfortable rather than overwhelming, giving four to six hours with a soft trail. It suits autumn and winter better than high summer, because sweetness travels in the heat. It is a women's fragrance and it reads young, which is clearly deliberate.
A Spanish line named for the Madrid designer Jesus del Pozo lies behind it, and Perfumes y Diseno has made the fragrances since 1992, beginning with Duende. The couturier opened his first shop in 1974 and died in 2011. Nightology is the companion family to Halloween.
