Bloody Wood

Bloody Wood changes quite a lot on skin. It starts very floral and fruity, with red fruits and a very noticeable rose, then becomes more balanced, woody, slightly spicy and almost tart, like a red-fruit candy with a darker background. I find the construction genuinely interesting, but the rose remains too central for my taste and keeps me at a distance. Not a bad fragrance at all, just one where a single facet prevents me from fully enjoying the whole thing.

I see this being recommended as a gothic fragrance a lot, so I decided to give it a try. Instantly I can smell roses and red fruits, over time it changes from fruity floral into warm and woody. It is not very strong and I feel it does not last long either, but if this is what you are looking for, it does have some femme fatale vibes.

The smell is wonderful for gothic lovers. The main thing I smelled was smoke, and then wine and maybe a little sweetness from some fruits, but it was very distant. It gives a sense of smoky, winey mystery. Personally, from the first minutes it reminded me of something from my childhood. On the downside, it doesn't stay on for long:(
