About Blue Curaçao
Blue curaçao is a note inspired by the blue-coloured orange liqueur. In perfume, an accord expresses an impression of the drink’s aroma.
Scent Profile
Bright orange peel and sweetness form its central character. Bitterness and a subtle boozy impression can suggest the fuller character of liqueur rather than fruit alone. The balance between sharper citrus and sweetness varies with the composition.
Use in Perfumery
The note can bring a cocktail-like character to a fragrance while retaining the freshness of citrus. Herbs, fruits and watery notes offer ways to place it within a brighter, more buoyant composition. It names an interpretation of a drink, rather than an essential oil obtained from a single plant.
