Bloody Wood

This smells exactly like an old communist perfume my grandfather had in his pantry and macerated for 15-20 years. This opens as a newly opened bottle of wine and as it dries down it becomes so sweet it’s intoxicating. I’m slowly falling in love with it. The woody noted and the fruity ones peek through but the main stars are the wine and rose notes. This smells exactly like a dinner at Vlad Țepeșea’ castle, vintage wine and a table decorated with roses and dried fruit snacks. 100% the perfect fragrance for anyone’s vampire fantasies. I’m very picky with my perfumes and I prefer gourmet ones, but this one… Oh this might just become my signature fragrance because it awakens a rollercoaster of emotions in me. I just wish it lasted longer. - also I don’t get any blood whatsoever. Wine brewed in my grandfathers garage tho? That is what it reminds me of.

I really love this perfume. Unfortunately, I’m yet to purchase a full bottle, however it’s high up on my list. This is incredibly gorgeous. I love red wine notes in perfumery, as a matter of fact it’s my favourite note, and it has been done to perfection in this perfume. To me, this opens with tart, and slightly bitter fruits with dark woods that smell as if they’d soaked in red wine. The perfume progresses to a more sweet fruit and red wine scent before fading away. Unfortunately, this does not last particularly long or project very far on my skin, however, this makes it a perfect scent for an evening out in summer. Just fresh enough, elegantly boozy, but sweet and dark. This is a 10/10 for me. It would be an 11/10 if it had better performance!

Bloody Wood is genuinely the most fascinating scent I’ve ever smelled. At first, it’s very polarizing. The first spray explodes with this intense burning wood and VERY dry wine, but the DRY DOWN is a thing of dreams, or perhaps, nightmares! It smells like a date with a gorgeous, refined vampire. Picture sitting at a beautiful old wooden table in a big dusty stone castle. On the table, there’s a large vase full of roses… but not fresh roses, no. Dried roses covered in dust and cobwebs. You have a goblet of wine in front of you, but you are a little scared to drink it out of fear it may be something more sinister…

something about this is so nostalgic and addicting. It reminds me of a combination of so many of my favorite fall memories; visiting my grandma on Halloween as a kid, the woodsy smell of outdoor Halloween parties in highschool, and my first time getting wine drunk on the cheapest fruitiest wine I could find. I love this! the wine, woods and tart fruits stand out most to me. I find the notes to blend together beautifully like an orchestra as opposed to alternating between notes. sadly tho this has the same issue as Blanche bete being absolutely delicious but only lasting about 3 hours on me:,(

This stuff is delicioussss 😩 Smells like dry red wine and dusty wood. A wine stain on an old wooden chest. So sultry. It feels incredible intimate, which is unfortunate because I’m sure it could be made a little more pungent but god what a stunning scent profile. Truly a vampire like scent. I think it could be easily enjoyed all year round but might lack some body in colder months. It’s a bit sweet, fruity, woody yet still somehow incredibly transparent. I just wish it wasn’t that hard to find and lasted longer than 15 minutes...
