How does the smoke note in Blackmail compare to other smoky fragrances?+−
While many fragrances use incense for a smoky effect, Blackmail leans into a "fireplace" or "bonfire" aroma. It is heavy and charred, but it is balanced by the sweetness of plum and vanilla to keep it from smelling like pure ash.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Generally, no. Given its strong sillage and prominent smoky, fruity accords, it is better suited for evening events, outdoor gatherings, or casual winter days. It may be too potent for a professional or confined office environment.
Does Blackmail lean more masculine or feminine?+−
It is truly unisex. The tart berries and vanilla provide a sweetness that appeals to fans of feminine-leaning scents, while the oud, leather-like smokiness, and sandalwood provide the ruggedness often found in masculine perfumery.
How long does a bottle of Blackmail typically last?+−
Because of its "nuclear" performance characteristic of the Kerosene brand, most users find that two to three sprays are sufficient. This means a 100ml bottle tends to last much longer than lighter designer fragrances.
