What does Blood Oranges smell like?

Blood orange leads, fresh, fruity and lightly sweet. In the heart, nappa leather softens that brightness, and the base of amber, charred wood and musk adds a spicy, woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Feminine and masculine votes are almost level, so it sits between the two. Hermès Eau de Mandarine Ambrée and Sospiro Erba Leather have a close profile.
