STORY & CONCEPT BY:
Madeline Waring.
As she entered the woods, the crisp fall air carried the earthy scent of decaying leaves. An unexpected whiff of salted caramel popcorn mingled with a rich, buttery fragrance, drawing her deeper into the shadows.
The trees parted to reveal a dilapidated carnival, its faded colors cloaked in dust and mist. Grotesque clown faces on peeling signs leered from the gloom, while rusted rides creaked like skeletal remnants of forgotten joy. The air was heavy with aging rubber and the faint trace of old theater makeup. Distant laughter dissolved into eerie whispers, beckoning her further into the haunting remains of a once-vibrant revelry.

When I first sprayed it on my skin, it honestly reminded me of something. The note "rubber" might sound weird but something about the (entire) scent, seems so familiar, like something out of my childhood!? Perhaps of those particular jelly candies I used to eat... or maybe of all the amusement parks I used to visit? At first it smells very nostalgic and haunting to me but once it sets completely on my skin, it's sweet and slightly salty with the hint of popcorn to remind me of the childhood I'm longing from time to time.
The name is spot-on. I am shocked at how much I like this scent, since it's got vanilla and caramel as very noticeable notes (I am a hater of vanilla and I dislike gourmands in most cases). The ozone and rubber notes in the opening create a feel of balloons (not an image, a feel - if that makes sense... Red balloons, maybe). Then the popcorn comes in, along with caramel and salted butter. Very realistic, very edible-smelling yet you can tell the popcorn is not fresh - the circus has been abandoned. Then the base notes come in, fully completing the picture of the abandoned circus in autumn. Or is it actually abandoned?
I can clearly see the image of the red and white circus tent in the middle of a field, surrounded by other attractions. Everything is dirty and rusty. The tent is torn in places. A popcorn machine stands on the side of the entrance, still mostly full. You can smell the popcorn as you enter the tent. There is no one in sight. Yet you cannot help to feel like someone is watching you. You look across the tent as you noticed a movement out of the corner of your eye. No one. Relieved, you turn around to leave a tent, only to find a clown standing behind you blocking the entrance. The clown smiles. Last thing you see are rows of yellow sharp teeth.
P.S. I have a fear of clowns (seriously!), but I am also a fan of horror, so I am obsessed with this fragrance! Generally, Dark Tales has some incredible scents!
