This is what I wear when I’m feeling male a lot of the time. It smells on me like an aftershave that could work on any gender and I don’t know anyone else who owns this. In fact, it was at one point my signature scent.
I adore the dropper bottle and the packaging it comes in but can’t help feeling like Blood Concepts should make the dropper bottles refillable. If that were possible, that would be perfect. Oh, and even more annoying is the fact that the pipette doesn’t quite touch the bottom.
Does anyone know whether the spray is any different from the dropper and whether it is possible to pour the spray into the dropper?

All those notes above are notes I can really tolerate for my nose. And I always love the cherry scent, in fact I came to this page, because I was looking for cherry scent perfume.
I wish Blood Concept can penetrate their sales into Indonesia. I can’t find it in Indonesia and online shop has difficulties to do delivery to Indonesia 🙁

Woah! I’m amazed that this fragrance delivers nearly all the notes listed in the promotional material and on here. I was expecting to be disappointed by these Blood concepts but so far so good.
Frankly I’m amazed and I hope you know I wouldn’t bullshit you folks, Blood concept B has great progression and complexity to it and isn’t just about patchouli as I had feared.
I love the opening, it’s a blend of wintery cherry and cooked apples with a distinctive pomegranate note. These top notes are fleeting but you get a hint straight away of the depth contained in B, right from the start there’s a feeling heavier notes are yet to come. You get pepper and metallic tea note wrapped in a deep, very woody almost tobacco type feel…it’s really good!!!
Then all of a sudden as it settles after a few minutes the patchouli bomb is dropped and that combination with tea and a little of the sweettop notes make it very palatable.
I’ve tried some heavy patch fragrances, especially recently and it made me realise I’m not mad on most dirty patchouli dominated fragrances. B is an exception I really really enjoyed wearing it for the first time, even though the Patch has that characteristic, earthy, soil tincture.
Amazing, long lasting and might even be one of my favourite patchoulis because of the way its handled with the addition of tea, fruits and pepper surrounding it.
B gets and A+ from me.

The opening reminds me of pomegranate noire by Jo Malone.

Tried all four of these today. I am a B and B is the one that I liked the best. After over 3 hours the scent is still very noticeable – it is woody and not too sweet, could easily be unisex but not so ‘mannish’ that I wouldn’t want to wear it. May well buy it.

Pure H.E.A.D.A.C.H.E!! This is the most unusual scent I´ve ever tried… The staying power is enormous according to me! (Too bad since I´ve tried to wash it off four times now…) I can´t compare it to anything really.
It is a rather heavy scent, but thats not the problem for me since I have several of those. But the metallic note is overbearing and just too much… No for me…

The Blood Concept B is the most wearable out of four scents in this collection but it is also the least unusual. I do like the composition. It is centered on the patchouli note with aromatic and fruity accords. It kind of reminds me of a modern and urban hippie. The scent is not entirely natural but it has the earthy feeling and strong connection to the nature.
The scent is fruity at first. I actually smell nice cherry note here (very natural and not sugary synthetic). But the scent transforms quickly into aromatic patchouli. The patchouli note is done well here. It is prominent but not a harsh one. There is also slight sweetness from the fruits in the heart notes, which adds another nice layer to the fragrance. The metal note is woven well into the composition and it is not nearly as pronounced as in other blood concept scents. This slight metallic edge is what I perceive as an urban part of this fragrance. The scent stays linear, though the woods become more noticeable in the base.
Overall score is 7.5/10. I like the concept but the lasting power is not that great. As with other Blood Concept scents I find that B has very pleasant sillage.

Hello All,
You can also find it at Lucky Scent (LuckyScent.com). This is fun & great! When first applied, the top definitely has a more feminine vibe, making you think that you just put on an extremely “girly” fragrance. You almost EXPECT it to be followed by a massive amount of florals, but no. You can smell the metallic note not long after, which I believe to just be a combo of the tea and pepper. However, this DOES actually make me think of blood (just a little bit) because of the very metallic quality that blood has from the iron it carries. Maybe that was done on purpose…IDK.
The metallic (almost mineral-like) note, along with the pepper, patch & wood, keep this fragrance on a very straight line through the unisex corridor. Along with it’s good longevity, this fragrance is (IMO) worth the $$. Now, from what I have been reading, it is said that this fragrance “works” with it’s same blood type and that it will not only – NOT appeal to a person with a different blood type, but that it will also – NOT last on their skin at all. Hmmm… sounds like some VERY suspect marketing ploys here.
Either way, I like it & will have my dropper soon. It comes in 2 sizes btw, 60ml EDP spray & 40ml parfum dropper. The latter costing $30 more. Anyway, thanks again guys and take care.

B strikes as a spicy oriental and, in the “mankind-evolution-concept” on which the whole line is based, should represents mass migrations, new discoveries/journeys and the renaissance. Smells bold and spicy, with a consistent patchouli note on which bizarre juxtapositions of acidic fruits (apple) and astringent artemisia plays together with pepper to create an interesting, but not completely satisfying, composition. In the drydown dry woods and tea darken the fragrance while a slight metallic note works as a sort of signature for the whole line.
Again, don’t expect something disturbing or disgusting as nothing here is aimed to resemble blood itself. The Blood Concept is based on the evolution of mankind through blood types and not to a sort of provocation a-la Secretion Magnifique.
Very far from being a masterpiece but still a nice attempt to create a conceptual fragrance. Good projection and great lasting power.
Downside: This is the most accesible of the whole line (read more conventional). It is basically a patchouli centered composition and, honestly, when it comes to patchouli you can have much better options out there.
Rating: 6/10

As I am a blood-giving donor (and B is my blood too) I know how it is a treasure that we can share this liquid body tissue easily with the people who really needs it because of several reasons.
Funny idea to create a perfume inspired by blood types (but some people might be shocked).
Yes, reading the notes and the olfactive group, I think it is created for my taste, I hope I can test it one day, I’m curious it’s sure.
The bottle has a great design.

INGENIOUS!
A line of perfumes based on blood type…
THIS is my blood type, and while studying nutrition a few years back (like I study perfumes now), I discovered that blood types are a piece of our actual evolution as a species…with AB being the “newest.
Certain foods are “tonic” (excellent) to certain types, others are neutral and some are “toxic” (read: not all that good for). I am supposed to avoid tomatoes! *groans*
It makes sense that certain smells (or notes) would be more “appealing” or mix with one’s “type”. I am very intruiged with this whole idea and all the notes sound grand to me!!
*sniffs air* Where can I find this, I wonder??
