You can smell the funnel cakes, and hot sun on the asphalt, the petting zoo, the plastic bag the cotton candy is in, the oil and grease of the cheap carnival rides, the trees hanging low and heavy in the humidity and the fresh cut grass. The smell of summer. There are few things that say "carnival" more than the scent of freshly spun cotton candy and funnel cake bubbling in the deep fryer. The bright lights and whizzing, whirling rides are beckoning. The sounds and smells are seductive sirens of the season. The midway is filled with scents from animals and vehicles and the mechanical smells generated by the rides. But, perhaps the favorite range of aromas is from the food prepared on cookers, fryers, and griddles and offered by vendors ready to tempt the taste buds of lovers of fair food. Moments after walking through the gates, fair-goers can hear young and old alike as they catch a whiff of their favorite delicacies and start talking about their favorite fair food.

- Lovesick Witchery Lament of the Midway Perfume Oil - The carnival has packed up and moved to the next nowhere town. The midway sits desolate. Whispers of motor oil stain the cement parking lot. A stray cat lapping up spilled cherry slush on a patch of dead grass nearby to where the tilt-a-whirl once sat. No children laughing, no shrieks of excitement, only wads of shewed bubblegum spit out on the dirty ground. The glittering lights are gone, the fairway music silenced. A smattering of black licorice strings, crushed into the earth by countless shoes, harken back to a time of childhood revelry. A few corn husks are scattered from abandoned harvest decorations. A sweet, earthy, haunting fragrance with notes of spilled cherry slush, bubblegum, black licorice, hay, dead grass, motor oil, cement and corn husks.

- True Wishes Haunted Carousel Perfume Oil - Step into the shadows of a long-forgotten carnival, where the flickering lights of a haunted carousel cast eerie silhouettes upon the desolate grounds. As the first notes caress your senses, a chilling breeze carries whispers of aged wood and creaking mechanisms, reminiscent of the carousel's hauntingly slow revolutions. The scent unfolds like a ghostly waltz, revealing a sinister blend of mysterious spices and dusky florals, as if the very essence of the carnival's phantom riders materialized before you. The heart of Haunted Carousel reveals an intoxicating bouquet of ghostly blossoms - midnight roses with petals as black as the shadows that dance upon the abandoned carousel. As the scent journey intensifies, a crescendo of smoky incense and aged leather envelops you, evoking the phantom laughter and spectral whispers that linger in the air. The aroma of spun sugar and candied apples adds a sweet, dissonant note, with an earthy undertone that evokes the damp, moss-covered pathways of an abandoned fairground. Vetiver and patchouli intertwine, grounding the fragrance in the melancholic nostalgia of a bygone era. Each drop is a ticked to the macabre, an aromatic portal to the hauntingly poetic world that resides within the abandoned carnivals enigmatic embrace.
- Weirdo Perfumes Carnival Perfume Oil - The bright lights, the music and the laughter all made you feel so happy. With sweet cotton candy in one hand and tangy lemonade in the other you milled about. The cool night air smelled like rain but you weren't worried, the night was too perfect to worry about anything. You weren't sure how long you'd been here. Surely it hadn't been that long? But that wasn't possible, right? You couldn't remember when you'd last been home. Everything outside of the carnival felt so far away, like a distant memory. You wouldn't mind staying here for a little longer. With notes of tangy lemonade, sweet cotton candy, mango, green apple and rain.
