"Freak" Fragrance from Illamasqua

In the spirit of all things kooky, spooky, and going bump in the night, we currently have our eyes on a fragrance that is sure to become the signature scent of this and all future Halloweens. Known for their typically gothic aesthetic, British cosmetics brand Illamasqua has launched Freak as their debut perfume and, we have to say, the elixir is quite potent and perfectly wicked for the season. Captured in a sleek, black art deco bottle (and accessorized with a silver snail, too), the fragrance contains exotic base notes like Poison Hemlock and Black Davana. The essence of the fragrance captures all things exquisite, mysterious, and freakishly beautiful.

Watch the freak-tastic video for the fragrance here, and get an exclusive, in-depth explanation of the inspiration behind the scent. Also, check out the Illamasqua's tips for some seriously dramatic Halloween makeup!
