Blooddrop Cricket — a green fragrance with character
Blooddrop Cricket is a women's perfume oil released in 2009 by the American brand Blooddrop. It is an unusual fougère fragrance with green, aromatic, floral and fruity facets.
Its character revolves around the freshness of herbs, cool mint and an unexpected lettuce accent, giving Cricket an original profile unlike that of a typical floral perfume.
Blooddrop was founded in 2006 in the United States as a project by artist and perfumer Astrid Favro-Khild Weinstock.
The brand's philosophy is connected with imagination, an individual creative vision and the desire to transform perfumery into a sensual artistic experience.
In this context, Cricket reflects the Blooddrop DNA particularly well: the fragrance seems to create its own little world, where familiar natural materials smell fresh, quirky and memorable.
Character and development on the skin
The composition's main feature is the contrast between juicy greenery, cool mint and soft floral-fruity nuances.
Lettuce adds a moist, crisp and slightly watery nuance, while mint gives the fragrance a lively, cool character.
Neroli introduces a transparent floral bitterness, while plum softens the green accord with delicate fruity roundness.
Cricket was created by Astrid Favro-Khild Weinstock.
Her approach is evident in the unusual choice of accents: here, mint does more than simply refresh; it shapes the composition's distinctive identity.
The oil formula helps the fragrance feel denser and closer to the skin, although Cricket is said to have a very strong sillage, so it is best to begin with a small amount.
Who Cricket suits and when to wear it
According to its positioning, Blooddrop Cricket is a women's fragrance, but its green freshness is not restricted by age.
It may appeal to those looking not for a sweet fruity blend or a standard bouquet, but for a vivid perfume portrait with a cool, herbal and slightly eccentric mood.
The fragrance is especially suitable for spring and summer, for a walk, a creative event or any occasion when you want to express your individuality.
Because of its pronounced sillage, Cricket should be applied carefully: a dab or a single light application to the skin may be enough for a first introduction.
There is no precise information about the amount to apply to skin or clothing, so it is best to adjust the dosage gradually, taking the temperature, fabric and your own perception of the fragrance into account.
On the skin, the composition will unfold more softly and naturally, while its green-minty character may last longer on clothing.
Notes and fragrance family
The notes listed for Blooddrop Cricket are lettuce, mint, neroli, plum and spearmint, also known as curly mint.
Together, they create a fresh green-aromatic profile with floral transparency and a fruity nuance.
There is no separate information about the distribution of notes across the top, heart and base, so it is more accurate to view the composition as a unified accord rather than a classic linear pyramid.
Those interested in unusual green fragrances can continue exploring this style with Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Yuzu.
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Camellia and Cologne-Zation Bigarade Verte are also worth noting: these fragrances may appeal to lovers of fresh, green and citrusy-herbal compositions, although their scent is not an exact copy of Cricket.
