Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes bring Mandarin Orange, Ivy, and Maile Leaves. The effect is citrus-green and slightly peppery, with the cologne concentration keeping it close and wearable. Projection is at its strongest here but remains intimate to moderate.
At 1-2 hours, Belladonna, Dracula Orchid, and Nicotiana move forward. The heart is dark floral, slightly sweet, and powdery, with Nicotiana bridging the floral core and the tobacco base. It feels gothic but still casual and unisex.
After 3-4 hours, Tobacco Leaf, Bourbon Vanilla, and White Musk dominate. The finish is sweet, powdery, musky, and close to the skin. By this point Vampire Blooms is largely a skin scent, consistent with its cologne concentration.
