Scents of eras: how perfume reflects the spirit of the times
Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
The year 2015 gave us Blasted Bloom Penhaligon's. A feminine fragrance from the floral family. The author of this composition is Alberto Morillas, and that explains a lot. Created as part of the Ladies Fragrances collection. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Country of origin — the United Kingdom. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Blasted Bloom is shaped as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Penhaligon's comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Mineral, Fruit, Green and Wood. It also reaches into Spicy, Floral, Earthy / Mossy and Musk. At family level the scent maps to Floral.
From the first breath you sense mineral-fresh opening notes: Aquatic accord, Forest Berries and Green Chord.
In the central layer you notice Hawthorn, Pink pepper and Rosehip carrying a velvety sandalwood direction.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Aquatic, Floral, Fruit and Musc without random overlap. Background accords such as Wood and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Blasted Bloom holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
