My Wish
Cherry is the material that sells Halloween My Wish Eau de Parfum 100ml, and it is handled better here than the name might lead you to assume.
It arrives sweet and slightly syrupy, the fruit rather than the sweet shop, with blackcurrant beside it adding a tart, faintly sharp edge and violet leaf cutting across both with a green, cool, almost metallic bitterness. That green streak is what keeps the top from becoming a pudding, and it is the main reason the fragrance is wearable by daylight at all.
The heart turns creamy. Gardenia brings a thick white floral richness with a slightly mushroom like undertone that makes it more interesting than jasmine alone, and the jasmine beside it is heady and sweet and fills the middle out. Neither flower is shy, but the fruit above them is still readable while they are at their peak.
Then the base goes dark. Patchouli supplies earth, cellar cool and dusty; caramel adds a burnt sweetness that picks the cherry back up again several hours later; and oakmoss closes it with a bitter, mossy, faintly inky green. There are eight materials here, and the composition keeps sweet and bitter in balance the whole way down rather than collapsing into sweetness at the end.
Expect a working day of wear, moderate reach after the first hour and a long close finish. It suits autumn and winter, evenings more than mornings, and it reads feminine. The Halloween line was created for the Madrid couturier Jesus del Pozo, who opened his first shop in 1974 and died in 2011, and the fragrances are made by Perfumes y Diseno, which began producing his scents in 1992 and later bought the fashion company outright.
