The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Blood Orange by Aaron Terence Hughes is a vibrant citrus fragrance that captures the essence of fresh blood orange and mandarin. The top notes of mandarin and blood orange are bright and zesty, creating an immediate burst of energy and freshness. As it develops, jasmine sambac adds a subtle floral touch before settling into musky and powdery accords with amber and sandalwood, providing warmth and depth without overpowering the citrus character.

How to wear it

Apply Blood Orange in light sprays; the citrus top notes are bright and can be intense. The musky base notes develop gradually over time, so it's best to let the fragrance settle into your skin for about half an hour before reapplying if needed.
