AB

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 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. AB is definitely unique. 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.

Was much harder to find this than actual aluminium, but the sour sterile metal now in contact with my nasal mechanoreceptors makes all involved efforts worth themselves. Incredible aluminium essence – if you love aluminium, you’ll enjoy this scent, and if you don’t love aluminium, this perfume will make you reconsider that relationship. The scent forces your mind into a room of measurable/categorical morality, of which this lawful neutral scent consciously alters how it’s perceived – poking sharp stone through the aldehydes and inviting a manufactured evil into your brain’s sulci. I assume this evil can be properly located under crisp aluminium foil – this perfume wraps it around your skin, covering sinful incubation – preventing bacterial vice from escaping. This perfume helps the wearer value aluminium’s spiritual foundation; there is face-centred cubic magic here, and the scent makes you appreciate it. The shiny bottle is of course, also incredibly beautiful. (Review edited for accuracy)

Unique and enigmatic, it smells like being a small child giggling having a lovely time in a bubble bath. Not the scent of the bath or the bubbles, rather the scent of the laughter. Clean, considered, polite, this is a lovely scent to apply in the mornings. It is bracing, like fresh snow or walking aside a frozen river. Happy and scrubbed, gender neutral, innoffensive and morish, if you really explore it there is a salty nuance not in a revolting Secretions Magnifique way, rather a pinch of organic matter which serves to exalt the polished metals and brisk waters and smooth stones (and, the vague recollection of clean laundry... and perhaps also brand new swimming pools?) that make up the body of this most unusual and futuristic scent that I dare say IMHO would suit everyone from children to the (fashion forward) elderly. I don't see what's not to like, and this the antithesis of what I usually enjoy in a perfume.

Chosen for its smell and not because of the blood type - I'm intrigued by this perfume. Yes, it has a green, seaweedy note to it, but the combination of aldehyde, metal, and the smell of stone, is what I find fascinating and I actually enjoy wearing it a lot. This is not a "bloody" scent at all, yet it doesn't smell so artificial to my nose and does not remind me of cleaning fluids. To me, this is an exotic far east dish blended with the salty-cool scent of nordic mountains and shores. I must say this is not a proper "office wear" type of perfume, yet as it stays rather close to the skin (at least on me), I guess you can try to pull it off.

This is very different. Great casual wear scent. People can say what they want but I like it.
