Description
Description
Bloody Smoke is Lorenzo Pazzaglia’s most unusual, polarizing release, a battlefield-inspired amber that opens on cold, metallic mineral notes and elemi before jasmine and lily-of-the-valley add an unexpected floral softness. It resolves into incense, olibanum, and myrrh over warm ambergris, musk, and sandalwood, the scent of smoke settling over something ancient. Launched in 2021, it’s a clear departure from the house’s usual playful register, and one of its most serious compositions.
Scent Character
- Sweet (vanilla, tonka): 27%
- Woody: 27%
- Smoky/Resinous (incense, myrrh, olibanum): 23%
- Floral: 15%
- Fresh/Mineral: 8%
Translation: The “smoke” in the name is real. This leans hard into incense, olibanum, and myrrh, not agarwood or oud. It’s a resinous amber at its core, with a cold, metallic mineral opening that sets it apart from most incense fragrances.

FAQ
Q: Is Bloody Smoke an oud fragrance?
A: No. Despite the intensity, there’s no agarwood in the formula. Its smoky depth comes from real incense, olibanum, and myrrh.
Q: What does “amber” mean here?
A: It’s built on warm resins and ambergris rather than fresh or aquatic notes. Expect incense and myrrh, not citrus or sea air.
Q: Is it a beginner-friendly incense scent?
A: Not especially. The metallic mineral opening is unusual even for incense fans. Sample it first.
Q: Is it unisex?
A: Yes.
