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:
- BPAL Escape From Autumn Carnival Perfume Oil - The scent of a burning Jack o’ Lantern up on a hill. The fog in a spider web coated hall of mirrors.

With notes of boot leather, flaming pumpkins, hay bales and smoke.
- Calypso’s Cottage Wicked Woods Perfume – The scent of a carnival set up next to spooky woods. With notes of caramel, cotton candy, spiced apple and dried leaves.

- Haus of Gloi Cotton Candy & Caramel Corn EDP - Just like at the fair! A sugary sweet yet irresistible combination of caramel popcorn and spun sugar.
- Lunar Life Apothecary Palm Reader Perfume Oil - You answer a dare from your giggling and taunting group of friends and enter the dark and musty tent of the Palm Reader, who you can barely see through the smoke of incense and magic that is thick in the air. They offer you an anise candy and give you a palm reading that is uncanny, accurate and life changing. With top notes of anise and candies; middle notes of incense, sandalwood and a trunk full of magic potions; and base notes of buttered popcorn, kettle corn and candied pralines.
- Sixteen92 Shadow Show Parfum - Originally released as part of the original General Catalogue in 2014, Shadow Show was removed from the permanent lineup in late 2019 due to seasonal component availability. It is one of Sixteen92's most requested reissues. As part of the August 2025 Legacy Collection, Shadow Show was inspired by Ray Bradbury's fascinating "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show. It is a gourmand, fruity, smoky, metallic and dark fragrance with notes of kettle corn, spun sugar, apple, machine oil, rusty metal and dirt.
- Vampress Heart Freakshow Fumes Perfume Oil - Freakshow Fumes is inspired by a twisted metal carnival filled with chaos and freaks. Picture yourself sitting front row as vintage cars driven by twisted metal clowns roar past. The air becomes thick with the intoxicating scent of gasoline and oil, mingling with the earthy essence of demolition derby dirt and vintage clown car leather. Dare to experience this dark spooky fragrance, where every whiff of Freakshow Fumes holds a new clown-themed perfume thrill! Vegan and cruelty free.
- 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.
