Just like every artis of perfumer longs to ease his soul with facing the sinister parts of himself. By creating something frightening and disturbing he struggles with his own demons. This process however leads you to your own dark desires because you can almost touch the power of darkness in its most beautiful form and variety. This is far more than Pandora’s Box, which should never be opened because it contains almost irresistibly sweet and tempting call of the sin. Nikolay Eremin offers his darkest self with this creation. He introduces us to his evil and vicious twin.  With the first contact on the skin the dragon starts to dance, first sweet and tempting. The smell of dark cherries, sweet and juicy, is highly present in first moment. This moment is almost harmless. But the real dance starts in this very moment. Nikolay’s creation starts to change to become bitter and smoky without losing much of its original sweetness. But with very next minute the resin of the dragon tree emerges and exudes its bitter-smoky melancholy. The air begins to glow and the scent develops a kind of heat you can almost feel. Spicy pepper and a nice subtle note of rose are floating like lava on your skin. The red dragon is now spiting fire! In the base, the scent of vetiver and oak is earthier and a bit quieter. Everything culminates with almost meaty leather odor with slight, almost discreet, touch of sweetness. This is a true sensual spectacle!  Nikolay has created something disastrously attractive with his “Dragon Blood”. He plays a higly dangerous game with use of the of the dragon tree resin for his perfume creation. The Quiché Indians in Guatemala often used this resin in their sacrificial ceremonies so the gods should get mild. It has also been used in embalming and in medicine. The color of ground dragon blood has a vermilion red color and is also used for paints and varnishes. It exudes a burning and pungent-bitter odor, which causes a severe scratching in the respiratory tract.  Ever since “Anubis” by Papillon Artisan Perfumes conquered the throne of my collection, Dragon Blood is definitely one of the most interesting leather scents to cross my way. This perfume is somehow disturbing but extremely attractive in a sensual and elegant way, and reflects perfectly Nikolay’s dark Russian side. In my opinion this is a true masterpiece! Dragon Blood offers an initially strong projection, which goes back to become more subtle with a longevity up to twelve hours. This truly gloomy attractive scent is disturbingly fascinating. I like that! In my opinion this is the best done fragrance among Nimerè creations. This perfume is literally savagely beautiful!" - review by JC Look.
