What does Blood Orange smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. It leans masculine in character, though it stays unisex.

The top is mandarin orange, tangerine and blood orange, so it opens bright and juicy. Jasmine sambac and ambroxan form the heart, while rose absolute, ambergris and patchouli carry the base. The fresh citrus accord is softened by a spicy, woody warmth. Aaron Terence Hughes Haze and Creed Aventus Cologne have a close profile.
