Blood Concept · 2013

Floral · Green · Sweet

Black Series - A: Killer Vanilla

6.8

Blood Concept · 2015

Synthetic · Spicy · Woody

Blood Concept Black Series - A: Killer Vanilla is a unisex scent that sets vanilla and toffee against the resinous warmth of amber and labdanum. The notes read as one whole: vanilla and toffee bring the sweetness, Peru balsam and cistus ground it in resin, and saffron adds a spicy warmth. Among the accords, the synthetic, woody and oriental sides lead, while smoky and leathery tones stay in the background. It is sweet but not soft, a dark, dense vanilla. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so these are not firm figures. Its heavy, sweet build suits cooler weather and evenings, and it does not lean toward either men or women. Reinvēnted Enigmatic Aura and Lattafa Qaa'ed have a close profile.

It opens with yuzu and blood orange, a fresh, fruity citrus. Carrot seed and hemp in the heart add a spicy, slightly earthy edge. Leather, dark woods and amber carry the base, and the scent settles into something woody, smoky and leathery. Powdery and animal tones soften that hard base, alongside a synthetic sheen.
