Launched in 2006 by Marc Jacobs and crafted by perfumers Maurice Roucel and Patricia Choux, Splash Orange is a vibrant citrus fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and energy. The scent opens with bright mandarin orange and bergamot, creating an invigorating burst of citrus, which is complemented by the green and aromatic notes of water mint and freesia. As it settles, white rose and musk introduce a warm, slightly sweet undertone that adds depth and complexity to the composition.

Application Tips
One to two sprays are sufficient as the citrus top notes are bright and project well. This fragrance pairs well with daytime activities, so it's best applied in the morning or early afternoon when its energy can shine through.

“I compose for the skin, not the blotter. A fragrance only truly exists when it meets warmth.”
Maurice Roucel is a master perfumer at Symrise whose prolific career spans five decades and hundreds of fragrances. Born in Saint-Girons in the French Pyrenees, he is celebrated for his ability to create scents of extraordinary sensuality — compositions that caress the skin and linger in memory. His masterpieces include Guerlain's Insolence, Lancôme's Trésor Midnight, and the landmark 24 Faubourg for Hermès. Roucel works with an almost musical sensibility, building fragrances in waves of tension and release.
