Red +MA by Blood Concept

*****
Year: 2012

Notes: unknown

Inspired by life's first fluids, blood and milk, Red +MA is a pathetic attempt at creating something both profound and carnal when, in actual fact, it's neither.

Personally, it smells like the peeled skin of a slightly unripe mango, with a metallic note running throughout. As the composition calms down, the mango aroma gets sweeter – reminiscent of stewed mangos with a sprinkling of sugar. With a progressive milky undercurrent, both projection and longevity are nothing spectacular.

So, does it successfully encapsulate the "thin line between innocence and transgression"? Well, not really but, for something so synthetic and pretentious, one had no real expectations. As for it being a pink offering, "where white and red don't melt"... it's probably best that one doesn't comment.

The future's bright, the future's mango...
