Blood Orange.
Sweet orange with a deep, berry-red edge.
Our read on the material, not a measurement.
What it smells like.
Blood orange is sweeter and deeper than a standard orange, with a berry-like richness behind the peel and less bitterness than bergamot. It reads as generous and slightly jammy rather than sharp.
It makes a warm, immediately appealing opening and it sits comfortably over sweet bases where a drier citrus would fight. Like all citrus it is gone quickly, so it sets the tone rather than carrying the fragrance.
Blood orange oil is pressed from the peel of the red-fleshed Sicilian varieties, and it carries more berry and raspberry facets than a common orange. It is citrus with a sunset in it, and it lets a composition open bright without smelling like breakfast juice.
