It is true that information on The Blood Concept is widely available on the internet, but it's probably the most important novelity of the autumn 2011 as it comes to niche fragrances, so it deserves to be mentioned on our website.
An inspiration for the collection of four fragrances of The Blood Concept were the blood groups: 0, A, B and AB. Of course that doesn't mean that if you have blood type A, but you liked the smell of Blood Concept 0, you have to stick to your A. There is nothing to stop you from using 0, as scents are not closely linked with our blood groups, and that doesn' mean than the opposite smell will stay less longer on your skin. We are free to use the scent that appeal to us. That's the way perfume works. As you'll notice, common feature of all four fragrances is having a metalic note in the composition to make them be similar to real blood.
All four fragrances areunisex, so they are designer for both sexes:
0 - it's the oldest blood group, so it's strong and powerful, just like first people. It's deep and intense, like earth.
Type: leather
Notes: leather, birch, thyme, raspberry, cedar, rosae fructus, metalic notes
A - appeared as the second, is a symbol of man's relationship with nature.
Type: aromatic, green
Notes: green notes, tomato leaf, basil, anise, metalic notes
B- apperaed as a third when people started to travel. It's a journey into the unknown.
Type: woody - spicy
Notes: red apple, blackberry, artemisia, black pepper, pomegranate, black tea, patchouli, teak wood, metalic notes
AB - appered as the last one when people with opposing blood groups (A/B) began to combine in pairs. It's a synthetic, visionary and chemical scent.
Type: mineral
Notes: aldehydes, aluminium, slate, pebble, cedar, metalic notes
