My favorite of this line, by far! I find that many of them have a pleasant musk to them, but in Wild Tobacco that isn’t present. Instead what you have is a wonderful honeyed, dry vanilla. The midlife has the patchouli finally showing up, though it’s subtle, and the dry down is vanilla through and through. I am not someone who wears vanilla perfumes a lot, but the spices, the dark amber honey, the delicious dry tobacco… it just makes this a delicious unisex vanilla that is lovely.

Great longevity too. This is the one I would consider getting a full size of from this brand!

First thing I notice is the thyme. So beautiful and aromatic. Then at once, a bloom of woods and mosses fills your senses. If we want to talk about sophistication, this is so beautiful. It smells like a luxe sauna, without trying too hard. You can picture a rainy forest, while you're submerged in a hot spring.

I will say, on me it didn't last that long which was a bit of a let down! But I find this to be really gorgeous.

The line between beauty and danger is often more blurred than we think. A gilded dagger, a heartbreak, a rose’s thorns. This is the line that Bull’s Blood by @Imaginary Authors straddles. Opening with a leathery animalic note and warm spices, the rose and geranium through-line of this perfume is never lost. Not even when an earthy Patchouli threatens to take over. This fragrance is a constant push and pull, red florals lush and seductive, grounded by an earthen intensity. The tobacco here is especially vintage leaning, lending to transport the wearer the way Imaginary Author fragrances so often do. It’s also balanced to perfection, blended to create something truly unique. I find that a lot of Imaginary Authors’s more masculine fragrances rely heavily on wood, which I do enjoy, but Bull’s Blood is more about the patchouli and rose. Especially the rose. This is a floral perfume before anything else; but this rose is wild. Even the dry down of this fragrance is beautiful, mellowing out but still packing a punch of an earthy, musky rose.

Bull’s Blood holds nothing back, and isn’t afraid to be dark. Nothing about it is polite, but spray it a few times and you’re deadly - untouchable. This is for your villain era, because this perfume says “I don’t give a f*k.” And those sprays will last you well into the night - we’re talking 8 hours of wear. This is a hot summer night perfume, though I think many would say it is winter or fall due to its depth and darkness. Is heat not oppressive; is the sun not a killer? The name of this fragrance calls to mind matadors in ruby and gold costumes; it’s about an old world of opulence and grandeur, where even the wealthy were not spared the brutality of living.

Imaginary Authors has been one of my favorite fragrance brands for many years for the way they create vivid stories through scents, but I was never able to get my hands on Bull’s Bloor before it was discontinued. But it’s back!!! I am so, so incredibly happy and thankful I was sent this perfume - I had a suspicion I would love it. Yes, I think it might have surpassed The Soft Lawn for my favorite fragrance of theirs. This perfume calls to a part of my soul. If you enjoy dark and “stinky” perfumes, this is for you. As an Aries Sun with a domicile chart ruler Venus in Taurus, the juxtaposition between beauty and beast is where I thrive; and this perfume delivers that. Thank you again to Imaginary Authors for sending this!

I have a bias towards this perfume - I think it's incredible! Such a beautiful tuberose, with dripping lush amber honey, all sitting on a leathery animalic base. This fragrance is also incredibly long lasting! A little bit goes a long way - it'll stick to your clothes and lasts the entire day. This is why for me, I think it is worth the full price bottle if you adore this fragrance, because you're paying for something that is extremely high quality!
