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.

Crisp Fall air weaves around the sweet treats of pink cotton candy, frosty vanilla cream sodas, vanilla saltwater taffy and Gridling's funnel cakes blanketed with confectioner's sugar. In the background just a hint of dirt, leaves and moss laced with woodsmoke are present. In a quiet corner of the fairground, a fortune is waiting to be told. Exotic tendrils of incense escape from underneath the tent flaps, swirling around you and beckoning you to enter. It features 30 notes and has plenty of layers to unfold and journey with. This is the kaleidoscope of scents at an Autumn Festival, intended to mirror the sights and smells for an olfactory synesthesia that is a fun and fascinating experience.

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.
