A, from Blood Concept was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Green Notes, middle notes of Basil and Tomato Leaf, and base notes of Metallic Notes and Star Anise.
I'll just kick off these reviews by saying that I couldn't wait to get my hands on these. I feared the (Blood)concept was a little stupid and gimmicky but hey I like the packaging and everything needs a gimmick sometimes to keep things interesting. Well I suppose it's as good a concept as any because I can almost picture blood in my olfactory mind. I enjoy metallic notes and more worryingly perhaps (???) kinda like the taste of blood. But before you get the wooden stakes and garlic at the ready...hear me out. Blood concept A opens with a lovely green note and the fragrance is pretty much based around this wonderfully natural tomato leaf smell which is shear magic! It reminds me a little of making vine tomato consume with a hint of celery and fennel...and the temperature of this fragrance is cold at all times. This is not necessarily the most wearable perfume around but I dig it. The opening then turns to a familiar herbal smell of basil with a fruity shampoo like vibe. It smells like freshly washed feminiine hair, head and all. Kinda 'natural meets unnatural'...If you get me? Then when it dries down a bit the tone becomes deeper, metallic with a hint of spice which truly does evoke blood. It's a really good and cleverly made scent which teeters between natural and synthetic. The drydown gives more of an aniseed quality and the basil is still going strong, which when coupled with the overall leafiness reminds me of fennel. Good longevity for such a ethereally light perfume but has the strange quality of metallic scents they don't project but stay close to the skin. Good first outing for Blood concept, gets my approval definitely not for everyone.
