Lorenzo Pazzaglia Bloody Smoke is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Lorenzo Pazzaglia. Bloody Smoke opens with Pebbles, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Tonka Bean, Incense, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Myrrh. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in spring, autumn and winter. Lorenzo Pazzaglia's Bloody Smoke carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Bloody Smoke is an incense experience that divides opinion, yet its unique, cold metallic opening and ancient resinous heart offer something truly compelling for those seeking a gothic and mysterious scent. A distinctive departure from the usual Pazzaglia punch, offering a more introspective journey.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Opens with an unnerving chill of mineral notes and a sharp, almost ferrous metallic bite, quickly joined by the ethereal floral whisper of lily of the valley and jasmine, before an elemi-driven freshness. This transitions into a profoundly resinous heart of frankincense and other balsams, evoking dusty cathedrals and ancient altars. The base mellows with soft vanilla, tonka, and musky ambergris, underpinned by dry sandalwood, losing some of its initial starkness for a smoother, yet still enigmatic, close.
