What does Blood smell like?

The top is black caraway, damask rose and black pepper, with lily of the valley and oud in the heart. In the base, labdanum, clove and musk sweeten the scent into a powdery, creamy warmth. Fruity and gourmand touches soften the spicy, woody ground, and a synthetic edge shows through.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters pick it most for leisure, a night out and evenings, though it also finds a place at work and in daily wear. It sits between masculine and feminine. Its profile is close to Simone Andreoli Criminal Lipstick and Lorenzo Pazzaglia Cherry Ink.
