Magic in a bottle.

2. Blood Concept2. Blood Concept – Black Series: O – Cruel Incense –‘Blacker than night and stronger than desire’ is how BloodBloodConceptConcept‘s O reads.

Be sure to check out the rest of BloodBloodConceptConcept‘s collection for all your vampiric needs.

Etat Libre d’Orange – Sécrétions Magnifiques – Afragrance where ‘confusion reigns supreme’, the quirky EtatEtatLibre d’OrangeLibre d’Orange wanted to evoke four bodily fluids; blood,sweat, sperm and saliva. Combining an adrenalineaccord and a blood accord, it’s either hate or love at firstsight. A subversive, disturbing perfume that’s sure to shockwherever you go.

4. Dior4. Dior – Poison – Scorned lover? Betrayed friend? You maywant to get your hands on some Poison… of the DiorDiorvariety. The mesmerising scent combines coriander,wildberries, honey and opopanar to conjure a forbidden fruityou’ll be eager to eat. A dark and mysterious perfume thathas been spell-binding for decades. But be careful, thisalchemy in bottle can be lethal.

Dior Poison £43.50 for 30ml eau de toilette

5. Library of Fragrance5. Library of Fragrance – Dirt – Never before a scent sotrue to it’s name, this one takes you right to the graveyard. Itearthy and dirty and bizarrely addictive. It has a strangeattraction to it, so just make sure you don’t attract the other-worldly sort. Try layering with Funeral Home, Pumpkin Pieor Devil’s Food for ghoulish effects.

Library of Fragrance Dirt £15 for 30ml Cologne

6. Lancôme6. Lancôme – Magie Noire – Lancôme Lancôme lures you over tothe darkside with the aptly named offering, Magie Noire. Abewitching oriental fragrance that’s sure to hypnotise.Enchanting and confusing with no set top or bottomnotes, a swirl of rose, blackcurrant buds, jasmine, amberand incense.

7. True Blood7. True Blood – Forsaken – If you’ve ever seen theincredibly sexy / scary vampire show True BloodTrue Blood, you mightbe able to imagine how mysterious and seductive this scentis. Described as ‘an addictive and opulent blend of light anddark notes’, it combines night blooming jasmine (fitting),dark musk and patchouli. We wouldn’t mind acquiring somefangs for this one.

True Blood Forsaken £28.99 for 50ml eau de parfum

8. Lady Gaga8. Lady Gaga– Fame – Lady GagaLady Gaga is renowned for beingdifferent. So for her first fragrance she created something asdistinct as her. Mixing up the composition with three chords,the first of which is the dark accord (which she evoked withthe poisonous flower Belladonna). Even the eerie, spider-likebottle contains a black juice that becomes invisible onceapplied to the skin – now how’s that for spooky.

Lady Gaga Fame £25 for 30ml eau de parfum

9. Givenchy9. Givenchy – Ange ou Demon – This offering fromGivenchyGivenchy has a dualistic element, combining both theheavenly and hellish in this fragrance with florals, vanillaand oakmoss. The bottle itself is a dark incarnation thatdescends into lighter tones. Only question is… which sideare you on?

Givenchy Ange ou Demon £40 for 30ml eau de parfum

10. Imaginary Authors10. Imaginary Authors – An Air of Despair – Based on atale of mystery, melancholy and high glamour, An Air ofDespair, was inspired by a story of a cunning, evil girl whoplots the murder of her parents. No more fitting a fragrancefor Hallow’s eve. Best suited to wailing banshees andmalevolent ghosts.
