Blood orange opens with a vivid, slightly tart citrus note before guaiac wood takes the heart with its smoky, slightly medicinal character — resinous and dry rather than conventionally woody.

By the editors · 2 min readBlood orange opens with a vivid, slightly tart citrus note before guaiac wood takes the heart with its smoky, slightly medicinal character — resinous and dry rather than conventionally woody. Civet in the base adds a pronounced animalic depth that pushes the fragrance into challenging territory; paired with musk it becomes a skin-level warmth that has a raw, intimate quality.
This is an animalic woody-citrus — unconventional and somewhat confrontational. The guaiac smoke over civet creates a dark, feral drydown that is far removed from the bright blood orange that opens it. The contrast is striking. Not for those seeking comfort or conventionality; best for evenings and those who want something that wears close and raw.
