Triton, named after the moon of Neptune that was in turn named after the son of Poseidon, is a cold fragrance. Its scent carries the nose to the icy surface of its namesake moon, but it is not unrelenting. It’s like being able to experience the harsh terrain from the relative comfort of a warm enclosure. It’s about finding and relishing the beauty of a frozen landscape.
Upon first application, it's like smelling a magnificent, incomprehensible ice world. Unisex floral notes blend seamlessly with bright aldehydes and minerals to create a remarkably crisp, cool scent contrasted by a hint of sweetness. Below the surface, dry amber, cold incense, and brisk woods tether the top notes from escaping and give structure to the unique, icy accord.
I got Triton a couple years ago and it has been my go to scent for spring & summer ever since. It is incredibly powerful yet light and crisp at the same time. I think "incomprehensible ice world" as the description states is pretty accurate, which is why I love it to contrast the hot humid days of summer. I find it has wonderful longevity and I often get compliments on it when I wear it. Definitely a must for anyone looking for a crisp unique scent for warmer days!
I almost always love my products from blackbird! The other items I’ve ordered were (are!) amazing! This one is just not great on me. I’m not syaing it isn’t a great product or that it wouldn’t smell fantastic on someone else, as a matter of fact, my friend tried it on her and it smelled different. But I just can’t wear it :( and that makes me sad pants.
I am a huge fan of all the blackbird fragrances, moto oud being my favorite until triton became a part of my everyday ritual. like the description says, it has a cold front, after 30 minutes it settles into a fragrance that I have yet to not receive a compliment or inquiry while wearing. surprisingly long chain of varying scents, it's a daily escape for me and I hope it never goes out of stock! I should probably add a few more to my cart now....if you've never smelled or experienced a blackbird scent, the sampler is a must, or start with triton. you're sure to be hooked!
