About the Fragrance

Blackbird is an American avant-garde brand from Seattle, founded in 2012 by former retailer Nicole Miller.

More than just a perfume brand, it is a bold statement born from the city’s creative atmosphere.

Blackbird Broken Glass, launched in 2015, became a true olfactory experiment.

This unisex composition is an eau de parfum and belongs to the floral family. This masterpiece was created by perfumer Aaron Way.

Character and Sillage

The name “Broken Glass” is no coincidence: just as shards refract light, this fragrance plays with notes to create unexpected, mysterious impressions.

Its pronounced sillage makes Broken Glass ideal for those who love to leave a striking impression behind them.

The composition unfolds in many facets, from cool, subtly sweet minty geranium and crisp violet leaves to tart jasmine, velvety rose, spicy pink pepper, and resinous opoponax.

A woody-spicy base of amyris, angelica, and cardamom lends depth and longevity. This is a fragrance for the bold, for those who are not afraid to be noticed.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Blackbird Broken Glass is a complex interplay of notes, without a clearly defined pyramid, yet each note shines brightly. The top accord features davana, pink pepper, and geranium.

The heart unfolds with jasmine, rose, chamomile, and violet leaf. The base consists of amyris, angelica, cardamom, opoponax, and almond.

This blend creates a multi-layered, almost surreal fragrance that evolves on the skin throughout the day.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

Broken Glass actually reminds me more of indie perfumery. You can clearly feel wormwood and an overdose of cardamom in it - bitter, cold, and green notes that transition into a woody-balsamic base with spices. Honestly, I don't like such fragrances - they evoke not just boredom, but a genuine melancholy in green-brown tones. This perfume is too natural to be called beautiful, but, admittedly, it's quite well put together. Behind the bright, spicy opening lies a calm, sweetish-woody heart, surrounded by nuances of dried flowers and fruits. I don't know how to wear it, but in Russia, I've met quite a few lovers of such scents
