Blood

About

Blood is a metallic, iron-laced accord with coppery and saline facets, a faint sweetness, and a warm animalic skin tone, often reading as mineral, rusty, and slightly iodic; it evokes visceral tension, adrenaline, and intimate warmth. Perfumers use it sparingly to add drama or realism—sharpening dark florals (notably rose), intensifying leather and oud styles, or cooling aquatic–metallic themes—typically built with metallic aldehydes, saffron facets, violet leaf nuances, musks, and resins for depth and diffusion.
