The blackbird is a blackberry eater

I became aware of Olympic Orchids Artisan Perfumes via detours. I started to be interested in Zoologist, but surprisingly I smelled few, because the interest ebbed away again. I had read a lot, especially Bat, whose original version was created by Dr. Ellen Covey and lives on as Nightflyer in her brand. Besides this I also found Blackbird very exciting sounding, which is why I finally bought it. After testing both I can see a certain kinship in the fragrance structure.
What the wine-red, thick stain of perfume oil reveals are initially deep red, dried up and overripe blackberries. This smell you actually know when you walk past unpicked blackberry bushes in late summer, this scent is really well imitated. Leaves are also most authentically recreated here, giving shape to the blackberry bush. A really nice head note experience, which one rarely experiences and one until the decease of the same with the nose on the back of the hand can be stuck.
If this passes Blackbird develops more and more to a forest fragrance, as Minigolf so aptly describes in the last comment. The blackberry note remains Prominent, but makes room for a wonderful fir aroma (without 80s vibes, which I very much welcome) dry peaty forest floor and a palette of woody impressions. The scent definitely takes on something warm here, which gives one assurance that the sun must be shining in this dry but fertile, light forest.

From this moment does not do much more, the scent remains quite constant and with a sufficient sillage and durability.

What did I particularly like?

I had the feeling to be able to smell the concept of the fragrance exactly, which I have very rarely.

The fragrance is very rich in facets and attracted me to want to decode him completely, to elicit his secret.

What did I not like?
The blackberry note is a bit too extreme for me, precisely because it does not present itself as a tasty one.
The fragrance shows up only near the skin as a fan of fragrance experiences, with a little distance it smells a little plumper like fruit tea, but also more synthetic.

I remain somewhat perplexed, because Blackbird is a perfume about which I find writing incredibly easy, the evaluation, however, significantly more difficult.
