What does Bull's Blood (2023) smell like?
The notes read as a single whole rather than a top-heart-base progression: sandalwood and patchouli lay a woody foundation, while tobacco and black musk add a dark, animal warmth. Geranium and Spanish rose bring a floral side, and the blood note sharpens the resinous, spicy mood.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it sits best in the evening or on a night out. Masculine leads the character votes, though it can be worn as a unisex scent. Imaginary Authors Bull's Blood (2012) and Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex share a close profile.
