Birdseed?
Since I have taken all kinds of birds into my heart besides chickens, and since a pair of blackbirds has also rented a place in our garden, which delights us every year with its offspring, I naturally had to test Blackbird.
First of all, this is absolutely not a scent I wanted to wear. It is unbelievably special and certainly not for everyone, but it is so exciting and unique that you should definitely try it once and not only as a bird lover. That is what I find exciting. I can't find such a correct reference to the unfortunately very often endangered forest and garden birds here. But that does not make the scent less interesting.
The first thing you notice about Blackbird is its unspeakably present, sometimes quite natural, sometimes rather synthetic blackberry note. It could also be a blackcurrant, because I can see similarities to Airwaves Cassis and Fanta Cassis, which is so popular in Holland. The first taster I thought "that's how I would have imagined Mr. Wilhelm's Aqaysos after a look at the pyramid of scents", as all commentators spoke of a cool cassis note, which I didn't notice. Yes, this berry is something special and can be pleasing, as in my case, or even repulsive, as it sometimes comes around the corner in a rather artificial way. As Gold has already written, I find it fascinating how one can achieve such a fresh, cool note with such persistence throughout the entire fragrance. This is clearly great perfumer's art.
This fruit is now gradually blended with green, but above all resinous, woody and dark tones. I don't see any patchouli in the listed scents, but this scent also drives me, similar to Palindrome II, not into the green fir forest but rather into a gothic club. I think I can guess leathery tones as well, although I don't find leather among the official notes either.
That is perhaps also the reason why I did not want to carry Blackbird myself. With a forest and nature scent, which also bears the name of a bird, I expect naturalness. The morning freshness of the forest, the evaporating resin and wood tones after rain or in the morning dew. But I don't smell all that here. What reminds me of green-fresh smells, as Gold already wrote, more like a pinimenthol cold bath. And the background is dark and gloomy, which I find quite nice, but I don't really want to smell like that myself. I myself didn't have anybody who wore such scents, but a little bit I see the often stylized, a little older aunt.
Yeah, that's the kind of guy that makes you wonder when you'll get to wear it. Perhaps, contrary to expectations, my blackbird couple will like it in the garden, as the bird food for the summer months often smells a bit like synthetic fruit, while the dried insects come across a bit musty? And already we would have made the reference to the name again.
Many thanks to Chizza for the test possibility. A really unusual scent.
