By the editors · 2 min readBlood orange opens bright and slightly bitter — fruit-rind rather than juice — and almost immediately the leather begins to crowd in.
The heart is essentially a leather accord, smooth rather than tarry, the orange now a dimming reflection on the leather's surface. There's no formal floral or spicy phase; the composition is structured as a contrast between citrus and hide.
Amber and musk warm the dry-down, an animalic shadow gradually surfacing. Overall character: a tight, modern citrus-leather with a dark trail. Wear feels intentional rather than incidental. There's a low, skin-warm hum threaded through the trail.
