What does Bull's Blood (2012) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters point to fall and winter, with leisure and evening wear leading. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

The scent as a whole rests on rose, patchouli and tobacco. Black musk, blood and costus root darken the mix and pull it toward earthy, woody and animal tones. The floral sweetness of the rose softens the harder edges. Imaginary Authors Bull's Blood (2023) and Tommy Hilfiger Loud for Him have a close profile.
