HAUNT YOUR COLLECTION:
We love matching fragrances to other mediums of artβbooks, movies, even paintings. Thereβs a few that have captured the quirky, eerie essence of Beetlejuice. If youβre in the mood for something darkly whimsical or downright creepy, these scents will have you channeling the Netherworld in no time.
Spectral Doorway by D.S. & Durga
A tribute to Beetlejuiceβs iconic chalk door scene, Spectral Doorway weaves together notes of ghostly old pages, funerary incense, and soft chalk to evoke a smoky, supernatural atmosphere. Itβs perfect for anyone who loves a dash of the otherworldly with their perfume.
Lush x Beetlejuice Collection
Lush has created a fun, limited-edition Beetlejuice-inspired line this Halloween, featuring bath bombs and shower gels that capture the movieβs whimsical energy. Itβs an easy way to add a little spookiness to your self-care routine.
Perfume Societyβs Beetlejuice Match by
According to the Perfume Society, The Library of Fragrance Mildew matches Beetlejuiceβs quirky, chaotic nature with its musty, earthy notes. Delia Deetzβs avant-garde flair is perfectly embodied by DβOtto Profumi 7+1, with its conceptual blend of seven accords and an "invisible" eighth note.
Sixteen92βs The Recently Deceased Collection
Inspired by the dark humor of Beetlejuice, Sixteen92βs The Recently Deceased Collection offers a range of fragrances with notes that echo the supernatural charm of the movie. Think graveyard dirt, ancient woods, and shadowy muskβall bottled up for your delight.
Passage d'Enfer by L'Artisan Parfumeur
With incense, cedar, and white lily, this fragrance feels like stepping into a haunted passagewayβmysterious, serene, and a little bit eerie. Itβs perfect for those who love the darker side of scentβ.
Juliette Has a Gun Lady Vengeance
This blend of rose, patchouli, and vanilla has a powerful, femme fatale vibe that would make Lydia Deetz proud. Itβs dark, seductive, and a little rebelliousβperfect for a bold look.
Andrea Maack Coven
For something earthy and mysterious, Coven combines notes of moss, soil, and wild greens. Itβs like taking a walk through an enchanted, fog-covered forestβa scent perfect for anyone drawn to the mystical and strange.
Memo Tigerβs Nest
A blend of incense, amber, and resins, this fragrance captures the smoky, mystical air of the afterlife. Itβs dark and complex, just how I like my perfumesβ.
Rasasi Shuhrah Pour Homme
This scentβs combination of tomato leaf, leather, and florals is captivating, evoking the strange and unusual world Beetlejuice inhabits. Its long-lasting nature makes it ideal for a creepy night out.
Imaginary Fragrances for the Ghost with the Most aka⦠Me.
Handbook for the Recently Deceased: A dusty blend of aged paper, antique leather, and dry ink, evoking the smell of a forgotten novel.
Poltergeist Punch: An effervescent mix of sharp citrus, fizzy cola, and candied ginger, embodying the mischievous vibe of a poltergeist causing havoc.
Timeless Attic: Notes of creaky floorboards, dusty attic air, and an old cedar chest, conjuring the haunted, forgotten spaces where spirits linger.
