Blasted Heath has been blasted all the way to the seaside and into a big pile of seaweed and saltwater.
This is an aquatic scent that many aquatic fragrances could have been… it actually smells like the cold sea around the British Isles and not just generic aquatic or slightly faint seaweed notes – I’m looking at you, Aqva range.
However, this medley of Cool Water and Green Irish Tweed bundled into a cloth sack and drowned out at sea on a cold night is one of the few aquatic fragrances that would be suited to colder weather… if you wish to smell like you’re on a cold ship’s deck with salted rain lashing down – which may not be to everyone’s taste.

I find Blasted Heath more enjoyable than its female counterpart, Blasted Bloom. This is possibly due to the fact that Blasted Heath features notes that wear better on my skin and are more familiar to my nose.
There is no doubt that Blasted Heath is a masculine fragrance. The scent pyramid consists of salty seaweed, well-aged whiskey, spicy sage, green patchouli, cedar and gaiac wood. Being an aquatic, this fragrance won’t appeal to everyone, but in its genre it is what I would consider very pleasant.
Blasted Heath is a nice blend of clean and woodsy. You could wear this fragrance all year round, however I enjoy it most during the warmer seasons. Despite its soft projection, Blasted Heath lasts a good five to six hours on my skin, which was far better than Blasted Bloom fared on the opposite wrist.
Whilst admittedly not a huge fan of oceanic fragrances, I do enjoy smelling the odd few on the opposite sex. On the right man during the right season Blasted Heath has the potential to be quite alluring and refreshing.

I have been waiting to test this after reading that it equates to standing on a Cornish shore and experiencing the fresh wind blow into your face, mixing the onshore spume of white horses crashing against the rocks and shingle…
It does just that, it delivers exactly that fresh calone bittersweet salt note, the type of smell left in your nose after being tumbled in the water whilst surfing.
However, there is a dupe, and I seriously mean an (almost) EXACT duplicate of this fragrance. It took me all of four hours to remember what this was as I patiently waited for the drydown to prove me wrong in my assumption**.
212 MEN SURF(limited edition[2014?])!!
I mean, like: it freaked me out, because I still love what is left of my 212 SURF… I thought I had a fairly decent nose, but this would fool me and even the longevity is similar(EXCELLENT, by the way!)… so there you go… all in all I love this fragrance, how could I not when I love the other!
*Update on longevity: Blasted Heath stayed on my skin through the night and was still going strong when I woke up the following(this)morning! A solid 16hrs plus, even after my shower.
** I had to directly compare the two… I don’t think I can tell the difference between the two except maybe SURF is heavier on pepper? This could be a placebo effect simply as I know which sites on my body each is on…

This is the only aquatic scent besides Sel Marin that didn’t bore and cloy me to death. It absolutely has a familiar feel to it, but unlike Bvlgari Aqva, for instance, it doesn’t feel “young”, but more sophisticated.
I get a LOT of seaweed, a lot of “Green” notes, and a good, long lasting vetiver scent that stays with me throughout the day.
It’s not complicated, and it’s very conventional, but it’s well done, and kind of charming, at least on my skin.

I recently got the Penhaligon’s sampler set from shoplondons, so last night decided to spray this one on before I went to bed. I just turned 61 so obviously the whole aquatic thing was not part of my formative years; still I am familiar with a few and find them inoffensive enough, if not particularly interesting.
This one starts off as a fresh aquatic but with a certain sour note in the background that unfortunately only becomes more prominent with time. Perhaps that is the seaweed, but if it is, it is a seaweed that has gone off. In fact the best description that I have for that note is dog’s breath – smelled a lot like dog’s saliva. I wound up washing it off. Of course aquatics are not my thing so take this for what it is worth.
I look forward to going through the other Penhaligon’s samples since they promise to be in fragrance families that I like and am more familiar with.

I like Blasted Heath but I can’t say I love it…it’s a watery, deep sea concoction, with a bright windswept edge…however, it seems to be missing something as there’s no warmth to it…and there seems to be a million other perfumes just like it…worth trying at least…

Smells like Bvlgari aqua , extremely similar on my skin but they’re not exactly the same. It does last really long. 2-4 sprays would be enough

An insanely long lasting and powerful as well as insanely bad, mall-oriented woody-herbal aquatic that you can’t tell apart from a plethora of other similarly themed super-mainstream fragrances.
So cheap and uninspired to make even an Avon fan horrifying.
It gets slightly better after a dozen hours but boy it’s painful to get there.
Rating: 4.5-5/10

Are there any samples available for this in the USA?

A deep marine, salty aquatic. No fruity citrus or bright, light notes, just cold seaspray, windblown grass, seaweed, and salt. Slight boozy wood or whisky note in the background. Quite strong and long lasting. Bracingly refreshing and heavy at the same time. Sort of a cool/cold weather aquatic. Not light enough for warmer weather. Darker and more marine than Bvlgari Aqua. Smells high quality. Easily the strongest sillage/longevity of a Penhaligon’s (I’m a fan but they’re stuff is often notoriously short lived and weak). A distinct, and well crafted take on a dark, marine aquatic. Penhaligon’s description of the cold sea meeting the British countryside is vividly accurate – really suits that type of maritime climate too – Pacific Northwest, for ex. would be a perfect climate for BH.

This review is done based on testing once from the store and twice from the sample I received.
Blasted Heath opened with boozy, aquatic, green, sharp and slightly salty notes. After the fragrance settled, a more prominent scent of tobacco emerged to mingle with the sharp green aquatic notes. As the sharp notes softened, the tobacco scent became more natural smelling and quite aromatic. The scent had an airy feel to it with a light woodsy and musty background. To me, Blasted Heath is unisex but more towards the masculine side with moderate sillage and good longevity.
