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. Lorenzo Pazzaglia's Bloody Smoke carries a Statement 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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
