Extrait de Parfum

“Blamage roughly translates from German as “failure”, and this is the premise behind this scent, i.e. setting out to “fail”. Years in the making, Gualtieri travelled the world to find a blank page of sorts, smelling everything from raw materials to cheap (inaccurate) knock-offs of his own creations. Wanting to eschew tradition, he donned a blindfold and selected raw ingredients at random from shelves to be put into this scent. He then wanted to somehow coax these random ingredients into some sort of cohesion. The resulting scent is, predictably, difficult to pick apart.

Blamage opens with a mineralic, even metallic accord, slightly harsh and screechy initially, but settles very quickly. The synthetic opening gives way to an airy yet rounded scent. It is clean and woody, with green-tinged white floral facets and soft woodiness.”
