Blood Orange perfumes and fragrances have been trendy the last couple of years. Blood oranges are called this because they look bloody when cut open. Many different cultivars of this beautiful smelling citrus fruit are used in perfume including Tarocco, Moro, Anguinello, Ruby Blood, Burris and Entre Fine.
The crisp, sweet and light scent of Blood Orange is perfect for summer because it is cooling and refreshing yet warm and sexy at the same time. There are several perfume companies that are offering these great scents to their customers for the summer.
A new blood orange scent for 1013 is Blood Oranges by Shay & Blue. This is a citrus fragrance that both men and women can wear that was launched in 2013. The top note is blood orange and it is grounded in leather, musk, woody notes and amber.
In 2012 Alice & Peter came out with a sweet blood orange scent called Bloody Orange. The idea was to make it smell like a cup cake. This perfume which has a bottle that looks like a cupcake has top notes of orange, lemon, bergamot and grapefruit and very unseal mid notes such as carrots, cyclamen, lotus, jasmine, cumin, saffron and cinnamon. The base is amber, cedar patchouli, white musk, caramel and vanilla. Many people compare to the smell to a mix of oranges and carrot cake.
The classic 4711 company that has been around for over a century and a half created a blood orange cologne in March 2010 called Acqua Colonia. This is a very simple but beautiful fragrance that combines the sharp sweetness of the blood orange with the spicy scent of basil. The glass flacon is also a collectible with a printed retro glass design with a cushion relief.
Another nice orange blood mix is that of Blood Orange & Veviter which was created for both men and women by Solvohie. This is a heavier scent with cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and sandalwood. It is definitely more suitable for wearing at night.
A very affordable and powerful blood orange scent that has been powerful for several years is Tuscan Blood Orange by Pacifica, which has top notes of raspberry and strawberry and very strong and lasting middle note of blood orange. The base notes are mandarin orange and sweet orange. If you don’t want a blood orange scent with vanilla in it (quite hard to find) then this is a good choice.
