Smell Like Halloween
August 26th, 2009 by John Wolfe
Yesterday’s Halloween Scents entry seemed like a perfect segway for introducing the macabre fragrance selections created by Anti-Sally (get it? Auntie Sally) of Goth Rosary. I love unique, nonconformist ideas and when it comes to AntiSally’s “flavors,” you can’t get anymore original. Her products not only break rank with traditional scents, but they’re also free of chemicals and are eco-friendly.
So, she has a creative idea (goth & Halloween fragrance items), green products, and a commitment to her customers that’s reflected in her motto: “What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?” This is my kind of business woman! Here’s a small sampling from her fragrance list:
Crypt — Haunting… the smell of moss clinging to a marble mausoleum.
Nocturnal — Black clothing and dark streets… the smell of clove mixed with patchouli and nag champa.
Wicked — Wonderfully tempting… the smell of supple black leather and tobacco.
Samhain — Spicy and sweet… the smell of Halloween candy, changing leaves and autumn spices.
Alongside her fragrances, AntiSally also creates a wide array of other Halloween and goth items.

I’ll definitely check it out–brilliant idea. I started getting my own essential oils to try to make the scents I dream of that are kind of spooky and mysterious. Briliiant!

Please let me know how your scents turn out. I’m still thinking about creating the hot glue and cornstalks scent.

I ordered some samples of some of her scents; they came in last week. Shipping was fast, packaging was well done, and I love the scents. It’s going to be hard choosing only one or two of them.

Glad to hear it, Stephanie! Thanks for letting me know. AntiSally is obviously very passionate about her work and about making certain her customers are satisfied. I’m happy to hear she did a great job on your samples.
