    🌟 About this video:
    So here I am with a Halloween video... What's going on? 🎃👻🦇😼😱
    Did you even wonder what fragrance a cat would choose if they could? 🤔
    Oh you did?! 🤣 Fab, keep on watching!
    I really knew very little about the origins of the characters and objects that we associate with Halloween, so I did a bit of research and here I tell you why vampires are a thing, why witches are associated with brooms, why a black cat crossing your path is seen as unlucky and finally why we carve pumpkins at Halloween.
    I also choose perfumes for vampires, witches, cats and a folk tale, cos why not?
    So how about you? Which perfumes would you choose for these creatures? Are you off out on Halloween? Are you dressing up? Having a party? Whether you are or not, which fragrance are you going to wear?
    🌟 Massive thanks ❤️ to the two people who sent me the perfume samples that I talk about in this video:
    Jon ‪@scentedsnowdrops‬
    Paola ‪@PaolaBianka‬
    Both of these people love this time of year, so please check them out!

    Hi Claire! I’m a modern-day pagan who grew up in the Catholic Church, and I currently live close to the infamous Salem, Massachusetts where there were a great number of trials and hangings of witches in the late 1600s. Even I didn’t know a good part of this information, so I consider myself very lucky to have stumbled across your channel while looking for perfume recommendations! Please keep making this wonderful content, and I hope your day treats you well! :)

    Loved this Claire! So interesting to learm all the history of our spooky traditions. I won't be going out or answering the door because there are usually a lot of early fireworks that upset one of the dogs, and the other one gets very barky at the door going. So we usually shut the curtains, turn off the lights and watch a film and cuddle the dogs. I have a sample of Penhaligon's the Bewitching Yasmine so I will prob wear that. Reminds me of the old Dior Addict which smells very witchy to me 🖤

Aah yes Dior addict was witchier than now for sure, they toned it down... And yes, very sensible. Dogs are easily upset at this time of the year. People are somewhat thoughtless with fireworks.

    Such a fun video! I still need to sniff the L’Orchestre line. Probably my favorite scary Halloween trope is the creepy soul-stealing vintage doll. Actually anything humanoid ‘uncanny valley’ really creeps me out. 😳 I’d scent ‘Annabelle’ with Splendiris for it’s vintage violet-iris with powdery musks like dried flowers that had collected dust and grew some mold. Happy Halloween! 🎃

    • @dr.claire.perfume
      @dr.claire.perfume  Před rokem

      Jackie that's a fab choice! I think I'd choose something like flora Mortis for similar reasons, it's a dead flower kind of scent, but weirdly it still smells pleasant 🤷‍♀️ I might also choose Gucci rush for Annabelle! I think piano santal is beautiful, so milky, and I've not tried it, but I know many people love bouquet encore too! Thanks for watching ❤️

    Good morning Dr. Claire. I so love your forays into linking fragrances with history. As a serious cat lover I now plan to pick a fragrance out for my Athena(she’s a long haired lilac point Siamese). I personally have never engaged in Halloween but I don’t disparage anyone that does. The history of its origins are quite fascinating.

We mainly celebrate bonfire night on 5th November, which was more exciting to me because of the fireworks 🎆 I have always wanted to scent a cat 🐈 I absolutely adore cats! I hope you find a good fragrance to make you think of a cat. I think something musky or with sandalwood can be a good place to start. 🥰

Maybe Ambre de Alexandrie - but I feel as if Jack would have spent a fair bit of time at the pub, and that one might not be boozy enough. Not sure sure about vampires - maybe Venom of Love. Wicked Good for witches?

      Thanks Jenn! Yes I'll admit I didn't know much about vampires before researching this 🤣 it's quite odd isn't it because roses are often quite associated with vampires in films, maybe because they are quite a gothic and romantic flower? Happy Halloween 🎃

    I absolutely loved this video Claire. I appreciate all your research into the origins of all things Halloween - fascinating and such fun 🧙‍♀️🧛‍♀️
    My SOTD is Cherry Punk by Room 1015. Not sure it entirely fits the Halloween vibe - maybe a leather jacket wearing vampire or witch? 🤣
    Not sure what I think of my Kayali Invite Only Amber sample yet. It's quite different from my other fragrances. I've only got a tiny sample so may get a bigger one to test further. It's certainly interesting.
    All the things you said about cats were spot on! The black cat nonchalently filing its claws was so funny. I've got a black cat so I'll be flying over the fields of Norfolk tomorrow night on my broomstick with her riding pillion 😂

    • @dr.claire.perfume
      @dr.claire.perfume  Před rokem

      Thank you! That black cat gif is my favourite ever 😂
      Invite only is quite complex for Kayali, their other fragrances are really a bit simpler. I think actually many people don't like it so no worries if you eventually feel the same. It's intriguing for sure!
      Cherry punk sounds a fab choice. And wow, Norfolk, so close to my home, I'm from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. ❤️

    Well Dr Claire first, vampires do exist and one day they'll find me 😉 though eternity with me may make them regret biting me 🤣.
    Yes Black Orchid a grave with dark flowers in a dark forest is perfect for Vamps.
    Yes Witches are a sad catagory but beautiful choices.
    The cats section, loved it. Was that pope from the same organisation that said Hitler was a cool dude? They had issues with black cats? Yea.... 🙄 I'm saying not a word. I think don't quote me but black cats were the main cat of medieval Europe and of course they are black 🙄. And again don't quote me cats were more associated with women cos they were based in a home setting... Yea that sexist nonsense again and dogs would have been off hunting and whatnot with man ugg ugg. Yes cats are magestic and when Pope the Liar goes to heaven he's gonna be pretty effed when he realises god is clearly a cat...
    La Prima, yes would defo be perfect and actually makes me think of the terrible film. I think my boss probably loves Piano Santal too.

      @dr.claire.perfume  Před rokem

      🧛 they're coming... I think as a vampire you'd be just as chatty and really not very menacing...😂 I loved that BBC adaptation of Dracula! So so good!
      Witches, well I'd definitely be in that category: a bit odd, not fitting a mold, suspicious, misunderstood. I'd be super careful about being near brooms or black cats.
      So many popes have had some really dodgy views haven't they? I remember someone saying the Catholic church only admitted the Earth went around the Sun in the mid 70s and not the other way around... I'm not sure whether that's true or not, but if so, I think that says a lot! The lack of action against Hitler from the pope during ww2 is just unthinkable, I remember being so shocked when I first heard about that.
      I think la prima and piano santal are THE cat fragrances for me, but in very different ways. Thank you for letting me try them!
