Fragrance 03 Blonde

Blonde 03 by Dedcool is a complex, unisex fragrance centered around a signature blend of violet, leather, and raspberry, with green citrus and saffron accents. This scent unfolds as a refined, cool-weather perfume with linear performance, delivering rich depth and surprising longevity. Described as both sleek and subtly provocative, it evokes an elegant, vintage-inspired atmosphere—like a femme fatale in a noir film or a softly lit subway car in winter. The violet note is bright and syrupy, not powdery, while the leather is warm but subdued, evoking well-worn clothing rather than aggressive masculinity. The scent grows more complex over time, with a dry down that leans into sweetened woodiness and subtle raspberry, becoming more wearable and layered. Despite being praised as a stand-out dupe of Byredo’s Black Saffron, the fragrance is highly divisive—some perceive it as green, sharp, or even pickle-like (one user likened it to horseradish). Others find it boldly compelling, elegant, and long-lasting, with sillage that lingers far beyond typical wear cycles. It works best as a statement scent for night or autumn/winter, favoring those who appreciate fragrance evolution and are open to non-conventional florals and leathery notes.
