Haus of Gloi Fall Goodies!

Hi again! I am getting more excited by the day as fall impends on us and the Halloween/Fall collections begin to pop up. The awesome and vegan Haus of Gloi released their Fall collection August 19th (last Sunday; via their website http://hausofgloi.com/), so of course I had to get a bunch of goodness from them! I actually made a little list of what I *really* wanted to purchase when they released the product descriptions on their Facebook, so I stuck to my wish list at check out.

Now onto the scent descriptions. The following scent descriptions are from their website, http://www.hausofgloi.com/.

Spider Silk: Procured from a dream: delicate water mint, wispy grey musk, crystalline webs of amber, oakmoss, torchwood, copaiba resin, and a touch of withered violet leaf.

Samhain:

Freshly turned earth, wet leaves, and a cool spectre ridden wind.!

Ghost Puffs:

Buttery popcorn and marshmallow goo orbs, presented on a wooden stick.

Pumpkin Queen:

Gentle hay pillows, pumpkin, ripe peaches dusted with clove and nutmeg, dried summer herbs, and lastly, a lovely crown of amber.

My Thoughts: Spider Silk, Samhain, and Ghost Puffs are all extremely different from each other. I could smell Samhain through its plastic in the handmade soap, and it smelled so earthy and lovely. Then, I opened the perfume oil in the same scent; and upon cold sniff it was incredibly strong and overbearing. I really didn't think I'd like it (at least on its own), but I dabbed a bit on my skin to see how it evolved. It stayed pretty strong until the dry down, at which point it became more tolerable- but still a bit too much for me. BUT, when it was completely dry, I actually really, really enjoyed it. It wasn't overbearing anymore, it was just right. Perfect, in fact. Once dry, Samhain is so beautiful and such an enchanting fall scent.The dirt and wet leaves notes take me to a beautiful fall day- the ground glistening from rain while passersby step on the freshly fallen autumn leaves. I'm wearing it right now, and I'm very glad I purchased it full size! :)  I truly believe all perfumes must be sniffed in each stage in order to truly judge their character!  Spider Silk is, as I mentioned, worlds different from Samhain. It is a light, minty scent that smells so clean and beautiful. It's perfect for wearing right after a lovely shower. I'm happy with it! I surprised myself with ordering Ghost Puffs, as I generally don't care for foody scents. However, this one just sounded freaking yummy and fun for fall. I am glad I ordered it, because it smells freaking delicious! I can't wait to take a Ghost Puffs bubbling scrub shower and follow it with my Ghost Puffs perfume oil. You probably shouldn't wear this on Halloween unless you want your Trick-or-Treaters to mistake you for a delicious treat and consume you, zombie style. ;P I've yet to try Pumpkin Queen other than cold sniff, but I already have a hunch that I might need to own it in my perfume hoard. Heh.

Here's my obligatory bonus kittah picture:
