Bloody Smoke

When I first spray it I instantly smell flowers, metallic flowers. I was a bit disappointed because I was looking for a smokey incense scent and wanted more incense less flowers, but once it settled on my skin the warm sweet incense came through and it's perfect, I love it! It reminds me of occult shops, it's a beautiful smokey incense without being hard and heavy, I feel like a sexy vampire. I stumbled upon a perfume store that carried this and I ended up buying a bottle along with Carbonara.

I had expected more from this fragrance. Especially since I really like some of Pazzaglia's scents. But then it came: spicy, resinous, floral, woody—in principle nice characteristics, but the execution, to my taste (which is subjective), did not turn out very successfully. Just a tiny bit of everything. I think the myrrh is what bothers me. Very slightly animalic in the drydown, perhaps somewhat mineral. Even the vanilla is barely perceptible to me. Ends up in my 'Nice try' drawer. What a shame!

It's very warm to me, it's sweetness of the incense. I don't feel metallic notes here, but still it's a pleasant well balanced scent. To me it works perfectly in combination with more grounded metallic / mineral perfumes
