Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It fits perfectly on sunny days, with a fresh, metallic opening that evolves into something woody. The longevity is insane—over 12 hours—and it projects massively, but be warned: it’s highly polarizing. I absolutely love it, though some might find it too strong.
It’s a beast, but to me it smells too much like metallic water. I’m not a fan of blue, fresh fragrances, and this fits right in that category with extreme potency. I applied it three hours ago and it’s still there, though you notice it more when you move your arm away. It’s citrusy, acidic, and oceanic; sometimes it smells like a multi-surface cleaner. Ideal if you like perfumes like Cool Water or Polo Blue. Scent: 5, Longevity: 10, Sillage: 10, Value: 8, Versatility: 6, Overall: 6.

Blood Concept… complicated. It smells very metallic and, even though I don’t wear it, it has citrus notes. It’s different. At first, it’s citrusy with that metallic touch, but over time it becomes loud and penetrating, like it’s going right up your nose. I don’t know how it dries down because I showered to get it off. Excessive longevity and heavy sillage. I recommend trying it before buying to see if you like its evolution. I didn’t like it at all; it’s a risky proposition.
Even though I know it has metallic notes, to me it smells more like clean laundry. A friend let me try it, and I think it’s interesting for my collection, but it’s a very uncommon fragrance.
