Parfums Quartana Bloodflower

Bloodflower by Parfums Quartana, Designer is at 18 percent Eau de Parfum. Perfumer: Alexandra Carlin 

Notes of Licorice, Anise, Blood Accord, Clover, Orris, Dark Rose, Amber and Patchouli.

Commentary from Joseph Quartana: "While used as a poison in Brazil, Bloodflower’s key feature is its role in the

transformation of the Monarch Caterpillar into the majestic Monarch Butterfly, so emphasis was placed on the

fragrance transforming in front of one’s nose. Given the name, we wished to attain a haute-Goth experience by

adding blood accord, but sweetening it up through the addition of black Sambuca, a dessert liquor; the result

hints at the vampirish. The fragrance is also imbued with rose for dark romance and various spices for passion."

"Look at my blood flowers, because I write with a serene sharp blade that soothes as much as cuts into the deepest parts of my soul" 
— Basith
