By the editors · 2 min readBlood orange opens with a sharp, slightly bitter citrus skin character — more rind than juice. There is an underlying tartness that keeps the fruit grounded rather than sweet.
Leather arrives quickly and stays prominent, reading dry and slightly smoky rather than polished. It frames the citrus without softening it, creating a contrast that defines the composition's personality.
Amber and musk settle underneath, adding warmth and modest tenacity. The drydown pulls slightly animalic, with the citrus slowly fading into a leather-amber skin accord. The pyramid is spare, so the result is linear but focused — a stripped-back citrus-leather that relies on quality of materials over compositional complexity.
