The blackberry kick of the whole development, and it is nice and quite typical and bright; the brightness is enhanced by some bright grapefruit in the background.
The drydown brings on the bay, which is much less intense but otherwise done beautifully. This transition toward the base via a rather nonspecific while floral impression - maybe whiffs of magnolia if one is pressed for details.
The base is woodsy, again not very specific but a touch of cedar - just; with a bright and beards vetiver in the background - no earthiness or richness here. The vetiver is bright and lovely. Whiffs of white pepper come and go towards the end.
I get soft sillage, limited projection and four hours of longevity on my skin.
The starts is quite nice, but from the heart notes onwards it is too generic and pale to convince. Pleasant nonetheless even in the less interesting moments, and very good when it excels. The good periods are longer, so overall it is a good creation. 3.25/5

HouseOfPhlegethonRefreshing fruit. Citrusy. Green herbal layer in the background. A sweet berry thing mixed in. Spring flower notes bounce around in the background.
The fruit fades away. Remains floral. It's unassuming and rather matronly. The base is very lid. Leafy and herbal green, with a hint of soapiness. It's pleasant. Too pricey for what it is IMO.

Blackberry with lemon, very fresh, fruity and juicy, although the lemon doesn't smell that natural. There is a big bouquet of flowers coming while entering the second hour and, after that, woody and soft spicy notes.

sjg3839Not bad, just not my style. The blackberry mixed with the bay and vetiver note give it a kind of soapy vibe. The grapefruit helps suppress that soapiness, but not entirely. Not FBW for my taste.

Kaizen1972A laid-back fresh berry and spice formulation from Jo Malone. Blackberry & Bay feels balanced and tastefully muted as well (a factor to consider that will definitely affect your personal response to this scent).
Bay leaf didn't feel strong, though it did stand out above the other supporting players (i.e. cedar, vetiver, floral notes). The result is a blackberry centered fragrance with undertones of spice, wood, and flowers to round it out.
Not for everyone, so I'd suggest sampling it first.

seeroos.syedThe blackberry note in this is very beautiful, while the bay leaf note is only in the background. Smells amazing. Sillage is alas soft, while longevity is only moderate. As for fresh blackberry fragrances, Byredo's Accord Oud is a better offering in my opinion.
