Sited from National Geographic 

Krampus, whose name is derived from the German word krampen, meaning claw, is said to be the son of Hel in Norse mythology. The legendary beast also shares characteristics with other scary, demonic creatures in Greek mythology, including satyrs and fauns.

The legend is part of a centuries-old Christmas tradition in Germany, where Christmas celebrations begin in early December.

Krampus was created as a counterpart to kindly St. Nicholas, who rewarded children with sweets. Krampus, in contrast, would swat "wicked" children and take them away to his lair.

Mother's Milk: Warming and comforting Almond milk with a touch of honey and oats. 

Mulled Cranberry Frost: Juicy and tart with soft mulled spices and winter berries.

Halloween Mayhem:

Hocus Pocus: Take a walk the in the wooded forest near the three sisters’ house. Breathe in the fresh sweet aroma as you brush by the balsam pines, and wild growing blackberries, mulberries, and cloudberries. As you get closer you get whiffs of their smudging sticks made of red clover and sweetgrass. Puffs of their magic incense and potions fill the air with tuffs of sweet amber, French vanilla, cinnamon and caramelized sugar.

Nightcrawlers Wake: Reach up through dark and dank rich humus soil, wet earth, fresh green grass & the unmistakable hint of freshly decaying carnation wreaths. 

No Witches on a Crackling Fire!: A berry rich type of smoldering wood. If you try to smell the distinctive notes separately you can smell the berry and woods. It blends all together and comes in, to me, as a very realistic outdoor camping fire with that kind of sweet wet smolder in the damp morning woods.

Seer: The one that sees! Essences of balsamic, soft smoky woody incenses with warm bright notes of citrus zest, golden sandalwood and ambers. 

Shadowed: Walking alone you can smell the air after rain falls on moist coastal woods soil. Breathing in the natural intense warm, resinous, earthy-woody nuances you feel a tingle as you quicken your pace and look behind you. You can’t help but feel in this overcast, Autumnal foggy early morn that someone is following. Feeling a bit more at ease as you smell in the distance, the lingering embers of a campfire, hoping if you move fast enough you may meet up with others. The hope of comfort comes to you as you detect toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, and graham crackers. You now breathe easier in the warm, soul-soothing aroma of a hot apple ciders and chai tea with a dash of cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla. But just before you reach the campers, you feel a cold dread touch your spine as a Ghostly chill embraces you.

Sleepy Hallow: REFORMULATED! Still the same vibe but totally new! The main component in the original version is no more.: Experience the legend with this solid perfume flying Ointment reminiscent of smoldering seasoned oakwood fires, warmed leather from fierce riding through the eastern woodside and the distinct aroma of roasted spiced pumpkin flesh and smoldering marshmallows.
