Blodappelsin (Israel)

Wore this on a gray afternoon and it genuinely lifted the mood, that bitter citrus peel opening is so vivid it almost feels juicy. It's an artistic scent rather than a simple orange, which is exactly what I wanted.

The opening spray is sharp and bitter in the best way, like peeling an actual blood orange. It dries down to something warmer within twenty minutes, which is when I started getting compliments. Not a sweet fruity scent at all, more complex than I expected from a citrus fragrance.

I was worried it'd smell like candy, but it's a true bitter citrus peel — sharp and rindy up top before it softens into something warmer on my skin. Two hours in and it still reads bright, not perfumey at all.
