October, cold nights, that fragrance that blends the mysterious with the sensual. Halloween by Jes\u00fas del Pozo needs no introduction to those who know it \u2014 but for those discovering it for the first time, honestly, you’re in for a treat. Since 1997, this floral oriental from the Spanish house has won over anyone looking for something different: full of character, with that rare ability to evoke mystery and seduction at the same time. Looking for similar alternatives? Here’s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n
Created in 1997 by perfumer Max Gavarry, Halloween is the most iconic fragrance from Spanish house Jes\u00fas del Pozo. It belongs to the women’s floral oriental family and has a character that goes beyond the predictable: dark in the opening, sensual in the heart, warm and comforting in the base. A fragrance with its own personality that resembled nothing when it launched, and still stands alone today.<\/p>\n
The opening blends marine and green in an unexpected way. Banana leaf and petitgrain create something fresh and slightly exotic. The heart is where Halloween reveals its real mystery: lush tuberose with pepper and magnolia. And the base of myrrh, frankincense and Madagascar vanilla is pure dark seduction. Moderate-to-strong sillage \u2014 perfect for autumn and winter, date nights and special occasions.<\/p>\n
My nose doesn’t lie: DIVAIN-078<\/strong><\/a> is the DIVAIN equivalent of Halloween by Jes\u00fas del Pozo. It captures the mysterious oriental spirit of the original \u2014 those lush florals over a resinous base. For fans of the original, it’s the most accessible option with the best value for money.<\/p>\n The sweeter, more contemporary take from the Halloween house. My Wish is more floral and less dark than the original, with bergamot, pear and jasmine.
