By the editors · 2 min readBlood orange opens with a tart, slightly bitter citrus edge that slices through the plush sweetness of apple and melon. The heart drops lavender front and center, its clean herbal facet sharpened by black pepper while neroli keeps a faint white-floral glow underneath. As the fruits recede, sandalwood and cedar dry the blend, letting patchouli’s earthy leafiness mingle with amber’s soft resin to create a semi-sweet, woody base that still carries a cool ozonic echo from the top. Projection stays at arm’s length for about six hours, making it office-friendly yet noticeable. Works best in warm spring or mild summer days when you want crisp fruit without candy overload.
