Blood Orange

About Blood Orange

Blood Orange is a citrus note inspired by oranges with deep red flesh. Compared with regular orange, it often feels more colorful and slightly berry-like, combining sweet juice, tart brightness, peel bitterness, and a vivid red-fruit impression.

Scent Profile

The profile is juicy, bright, sweet-tart, and lightly bitter. It is more vivid than sweet orange, rounder than grapefruit, and more colorful than lemon. The red-pulp association gives it a cheerful but slightly richer citrus character.

Use in Perfumery

Blood Orange works in the opening with rose, neroli, spices, musks, amber, and woods. It can add color to fruity florals, make sweet compositions feel fresher, and bring a lively citrus spark to warm bases.

Did You Know?

It gives brightness a stronger color than ordinary orange, bringing citrus lift together with a juicy, almost red-toned impression that works well with spice. The result often feels cheerful without becoming thin. Blood Orange is compelling because it behaves like citrus while carrying the image of red fruit. That visual association can make the opening of a perfume feel more saturated and festive.
