Halloween may be my favorite occasion but Christmas is admittedly not far behind. So just as I made a list of fragrance suggestions for Halloween , I think it would be a good idea to also come up with a similar list for this merry occasion. Besides, this is such an extended season that you'll likely have to attend multiple celebrations, which means you'll have multiple chances of wearing something Christmassy.  Here are 10 fragrance suggestions for Christmas. You can click on each title for a more detailed review of each frag.

aftrdrk is a limited edition collab between local indie house mvrn Parfums and Filipino fragrance vlogger Alex of Scents | Lifestyle | Fitness . I skipped the sampling stage and went ahead with a full bottle. It comes in mvrn's standard triple packaging—a wax-sealed box housing a smaller box that, in turn, houses a pouch that holds the bottle—which is amazing, considering how inexpensive it is (Php 1,495 for a 50ml bottle). Yes, all of their full bottles are like this, and I always appreciate the effort put into presentation in fragrances.

It's nice to see more and more players in the local perfumery scene, and mvrn Parfums is the newest kid on the block. For its Premier Collection, this Philippine indie house has released six fragrances. I ordered a discovery set and it's a steal at only Php 500. The packaging's black and gold aesthetic looks so chic, plus the wax seal is so extra—yes, for a measly 500 bucks. Anyway, I indulged myself in a sniffing marathon by my lonesome and here are my thoughts.
