Hot Topic is perhaps best known for its goth-like apparel, accessories, and Halloween costumes, however it also has a number of unique gift options available for the holidays, such as the Poison Apple Fragrance that's inspired by the classic Disney film 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.'
The Poison Apple Fragrance highlights the point in the plot when the evil queen creates a vivid red treat for Snow White, which will cast her into a permanent state of sleep if not revived by "true love's first kiss." Due to this inspiration, the perfume comes in a red apple-shaped bottle that features a cascade of green ooze, which represents the deadly poison that it's laced with.
The Poison Apple Fragrance can be purchased from Hot Topic's online store, as well as from select in-store locations.
