Jesús Del Pozo has launched Halloween Kiss, a new flanker fragrance to 1997's Halloween. Halloween Kiss is meant to be a sexier, more seductive scent, and to evoke an urban atmosphere at night: neon, music, noise.
Halloween Kiss was developed by perfumer Christophe Raynaud, and the fruity oriental gourmand includes notes of orange, pear, red fruits, peach, orchid, freesia, gardenia, peony, violet, teak wood, vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli.
J Del Pozo Halloween Kiss is available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. (via pyd.es, elcorteingles.es)
Those notes sound a little strange for a perfume called Halloween Kiss.
Apparently there has been:
Halloween Fressia
Halloween Sun
Halloween Tropical
Halloween Waterlily
I'm pretty sure there have been even more flankers than that…I think they do at least one a year.
Halloween has to be one of the most bizarre names for a perfume (and flankers) that from what I can see, never had anything to do with evoking the holiday. I mean, I think spice, pumpkin, that kind of thing, not fruity or floral. I have serious envy for those eyebrows though.
Those brows HAD to have help, don't you think?
I know nada about the background on Halloween — there must have been some reason (?)
“neon, music, noise” coupled with that ad is making me wistful for A Flock of Seagulls and the 80's!
I agree. They look like Lee Press-On Brows, or something.
The original halloween was an aquatic Floral.
Given that it is a Spanish frag (and me being argentinian an having been exposed to the ads, etc.) the name halloween is used to evoke a certain mystery.
The other famous Del Pozo Launch was “duende” (goblin or elf) a mythical forest creature. So I guess Halloween is geared into the “magical” aspect of Halloween.
All this being said, and after just returning from the states and witnessed the Halloween parafernalia for sale, it appears to me that the name evokes more trick or treating and childs play to the regular american than the “mystery” that we may associate with the name from afar.
The women in the Halloween ads always look like sexy witches…Think “Charmed” (the late WB Show)
Very few things make me wistful for the 80s, LOL…
Yeah I keep thinking it must smell like pumpkin.
I actually received this perfume as a gift last night. It is simply beautiful. I could care less about the name. The bottle looks good along side my other fragrances.
