Discover Arancia Rossa from Laboratorio Olfattivo.
A fruit so juicy and carnal as to be linked, in the collective imagination, to battles and celebrations.
As popular and earthly in our memories, as it is elegant and sophisticated in olfactory compositions.
Inspiration:
«Bergamot is elegant, lemon is energetic, mandarin is cheerful. Orange is sunny and ironic. In the
Italian city of Ivrea, not far from Turin, a battle of oranges is the highlight of the annual carnival
celebrations. In 1801 oranges became a symbol of military defeat when Prince Manuel Godoy y
Álvarez de Faria sent a basket of these fruits to his mistress the Queen to celebrate the victory of
Spain over Portugal. Only to take their revenge by bearing the name of Portugal for many years after
that in the perfume industry. The oranges extoled and sold by merchants accompany the tragic end
of Carmen in Bizet's homonymous opera.
But my favourite story is a Christmas one. In December, oranges are a gift of light, a message hinting
to the end of winter, rebel fruits wearing the colour of summer».

I have always been searching for a citrus smelling perfume. I believe I have found it in this scent. Wonderful orange fills my senses. The perfume world is so extensive, exploring new scents can be challenging. Thanks to Libertine for adding samples, making the next discovery easy.
The scent is great.
A beautiful citrus with passionfruit mid tones. Excellent longevity on my skin, 10+ hours. And I love the presentation.
It has all been somewhat muted by the fact that the sprayer broke immediately. Where one might like a fine mist to apply, this ********** a heavy projectile droplet. I have resorted to decanting to an atomizer.

I'm In Love!
I should declare from the outset that I am a sucker for all things passionfruit...the heady combination of sweet/sour/tart is in perfect balance, and just keeps me coming back for more.
Add in equal parts of blood orange to the passionfruit, and some subtle touches of orange flower and musk, and you have what I would consider, a fruity-citrus masterpiece!
And what's more, it lasts all day on me too (I spray the tops of both forearms).

A sophisticated Summertime fragrance
My search for the perfect citrus fragrance is at an end. This is beautiful, perfectly balanced with sweet and fresh blood orange, a hint of tart passionfruit, all wedded to a musky base. An instant mood enhancer with surprising longevity.
