AB Blood for women and men

I found AB to be more pleasant than A of the Blood Concept. I have not tried the rest. The top notes open with some very metallic notes of aldehydes and aluminum. I believe the attempt in the top notes is to equate the evolutionary line that evolved into (or from) an urban setting. The design is supposed to elicit a feeling of skyscrapers and metal. It did do this, but I initially pictured a trailer park with the opening notes. It wasn’t until reading the intent of the designer did I imagine a skyline or some sort. Perhaps this says more about me than the fragrance, though. Anyway, the initial note of the aluminum and aldehydes is pretty potent and dies down to a more palatable scent after about an hour.

The middle notes are pebble and water (so says the website). I’m not sure how one gets pebble (small rocks?) into a fragrance, though. I didn’t really find these notes to be of much consequence. As said before, when the top notes fade, the smell is still pleasant, but there’s not much there (pebble and water?). I can still smell the metal, but there is a bit of a cleaner scent. Barely noticeable, but nice.

The base notes come roaring back. So, there’s a nice back and forth so far as sillage goes in this fragrance. The aldehydes start out pretty intense, they die down into a barely noticeable, but pleasant scent of acqua and pebble, and then (at least with me), when the base notes hit, the aldehydes return. Their return is not as strong as the initial blast, but its definitely noticeable. And it’s a nice conclusion to this fragrance.

AB is definitely unique. I thought that I would feel that AB was too weird for my tastes, and was thinking of the oddness of A before I tried this. However, I think it may have unduly influenced me, because I liked it more with each wear of the sample. A bit expensive, but definitely unique…As far as buying goes, I’d try a sample and not blind buy. I would imagine it’s either love or hate with this one and therefore there’s a good chance someone may feel they’ve been choused out of 155$ if they don’t like it.

I would call this the strangest mercury/aquatic I have ever smelt. But this "concoction" reminds me so much of Jovan Individuality Water element that it is ridiculous. When I first applied Water element to my skin it smelled as if water itself had bled on me. If there were ever a way for water to bleed, this would be what it would smell like. Very metallic, very aquatic and rich. Not creamy rich but dense and concentrated. It smells okay after an hour or so but never wear something like this in summer. The same reaction is had by BC. The sillage is great but it becomes so concentrated into the skin that it practically seeps into every pore in your nostrils. You will breathe it in and unconsciously it will hit you at random.

JIWE is made as an oil concentrate, BC is made as a eau concentration which makes a huge difference. The sillage is great if you would like to smell like this all day. So sad that such a strange scent such as this was created for a unique concept that deserves so much more. I like strange but this is one of those random freak scents that give you a WTH moment. It's made for my blood type but this is not a scent that should be worn by all of the type or anyone that will be in range of anyone with a working olfactory sense.

This is the weirdest scent I have ever smelled. It is bizarre and abstract, strange and at times almost repulsive but yet I am drawn to its avant-garde artistry. It is the most unusual out of all four Blood Concept scents for sure. It has the metallic and industrial edge. It smells like nothing in nature. It is like one of those paintings that do not even suppose to reflect something real but more of a reality perceived by a creative artist’s mind.

The first impression is metallic and cold but also a bit fresh. It smells like pool water and shiny stone surface warmed by the sun. It also reminds me of something I would smell in a crazy scientist lab in a science fiction movie. I guess it is this metallic edge that makes it smell so strange. The aldehydes are very light and only appear in the heart notes for me. So it is not a traditional, heavy on aldehydes composition. The scent becomes a bit friendlier as time passes (or perhaps my nose adjusts to it). It becomes strangely fresh, definitely aquatic unisex composition where metallic note is still bizarre but with a pleasant edge. At the same time the scent is not harsh at all but wears gently on my skin. It is artificial but yet it is not a cheap composition. I can smell the artistry and quality in this one. The dry down is the gentlest of all stages. The metallic note is incredibly soft here and the scent becomes much warmer. The sillage is pleasant and the longevity is good.

I normally rate perfumes but I am a bit perplexed with this one. It certainly gets my vote for being interesting and I liked that I had to totally open my mind and get out of my comfort zone for this one. But is it wearable? I honestly do not see myself ever wearing this other than at home for the experience of it. If you are crazy like me about scents and love trying unusual ones, then go for a sample of it. But it is definitely not a blind buy material.

Thank you Whitefluffy hehe is really expensive, good advice buy a sample, Thanks again

Luckyscent.com. You can get a sample there.

Where you can buy the perfume??? I really want to smell it, did someone know a website?? please let me know.

This was the most disgusting perfume I have ever smelled. Cold? Yes. It is cold inside and out - if vampires had perfume this would be it. The images were those of cold hospital room with white cold tile floor, freshly wiped blood with bleach and dead evil eyes that watch my every move.

Of the four, this is the one I like least, BUT, I don't dislike it. This one definitely smells the most suggestive of blood, to me. Not to put anyone off from trying this, but there is just the slightest resemblance to secretions magnifique.. not the whole effect of it, just one of the notes. I was really excited to purchase these samples on luckyscent after the long wait :)

When I first knew about this line I thought about something targeted to teenagers obsessed with Twilight and the whole vampire thing but then, after I got an informative brochure from my retailer I realized that this line has a more "artistic" concept.

The Blood Concept line has nothing to do with blood itself (or Secretions Magnifique kind of stuff), they're more based on the concept that evolution happened mainly through blood types. AB should represent the urban life, big cities, technology, modernism (the contemporary era). IMO this is the weirdest of the whole line. It opens with a blast of sparkling and sharp aldehydes with a remarkable metallic note. The overall effect is cold, almost freezing and smells somehow halfway between unripe fruits and synthetic pine (???). Weird. Mineral notes lurks in the back while a watery accord remarks its presence adding even more cleanness. Usually I'm not into "clean" kind of fragrances but this composition push the clean/aldehydic aspect to the very limit becoming somehow intriguing and definitely futuristic (read: never smelled something like this before).

AB projects pretty good and has a remarkable lasting power (more than 8hrs on my skin). Wearable? Not sure yet but while it is definitely a bizarre composition, it resembles anything but blood (which in this case is obviously good). Clean, sparkling, cold and sort of aseptic. Wether you'll like it or not be aware that AB is anything but disgusting. Vampires has to watch somewhere else. Again, more of a piece of conceptual "art" than a body fragrance.

Rating: 6.5/10

Oh! a fragrance inspired by my blood type. Who'da thunk it?! The notes are interesting. It seems like nothing I have had; aldehyde and aluminum in aquatic metallic heart. This AB just sounds sharp and mineral fresh, and cold. The bottle looks okay. Nobody would expect it to be a fragrance. Watch out it may end up in a medicine cabinet. I gotta save some serious cash to get one because it is terribly expensive!

Remark: I am a little jealous of the O because of the rose and leather. Darn blood type! but being AB, I guess I can take anything. :)
