Lorenzo Pazzaglia launched Bloody Smoke in 2021 as a bold, unisex fragrance that defies easy categorization. The composition opens with elemi resin and mineral notes, creating an unexpected tension between the earthy and the ethereal. This is followed by a heart of jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, which adds a touch of floral sweetness to balance the smoky incense and metallic undertones. The base notes of ambergris, musk, vanilla, and sandalwood ground the scent with warmth and depth.
What sets Bloody Smoke apart is its ability to evoke both the rawness of nature and the sophistication of urbanity. It's a fragrance that can be worn in any setting, from an intimate dinner to a bustling city street.

Application Tips
Apply Bloody Smoke lightly — the smoky and metallic top notes are strong and can overwhelm if overapplied. Allow it to develop on your skin for at least 15 minutes before layering with other fragrances or wearing clothing that might absorb its projection.
