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.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Calypso's Cottage Carnival Perfume - Carnival is a nostalgic and playful fragrance. It is a scent that captures the golden haze of twilight on a summer fairground. A whimsical blend of sweetness, warmth and cool evening air, it features a top note of kettle corn, a middle note of caramel apples and a base note of night air - a soft breeze laced with cotton candy dreams and distant fireworks. With subtle hints of ozone, evoking the cool thrill of dusk falling on the Midway.
- Cult Fragrance King of the Carnies Perfume Oil - Imagine an autumn carnival that only opens at midnight. The notes create memories of carnival fun, then corrupts itself with a ravenous underbelly. Meet the King of the Carnies: He's responsible for the sleaze and grim of the Autumnal Carnival. A barbarous leader with a liking of the darkness. Those under his tutelage have no choice but consider him their savior. He shelters the destitutes and roustabouts, and feeds them any lost visitor in his Midway...A blend of fleshy Pumpkin, caramel corn, pipe tobacco, woodsmoke, fried dough, a flash of bourbon, dead Leaves, barn hay and vetiver.
- Little & Grim Test Your Strength Perfume Oil - The best thing about the fair is the food. Change my mind. With notes of tempting sweet dough, vanilla bean, a bit of cinnamon, frankincense, benzoin, Texas cedarwood and warm musk.
- Vanitas Veritas Dark Carnival Perfume Oil - Step right up and take a ride into the spooky and fantastical world of a dark circus with this fragrance. Everything you see here is wonderfully strange, gorgeously uncanny and delightfully mysterious. This scent has the sugared notes of carnival food with undercurrents of unsettling chilled air and creeping moss. Get ready to smile a little too widely and laugh until your sides hurt as you adventure deeper into this scent. With notes of black oak, moss, amber, peach, apricot, currant, vanilla, fig, cedarwood, peppermint, oakmoss, geranium and tonka bean.
- 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.
