Olfactory Laboratory Red Orange Parfum Cologne

" If bergamot is elegant, lemon is energetic, mandarin is joyful, orange is sunny and tragic in its destiny. In the city of Ivrea, not far from Turin, every year in February, a battle of oranges is the most awaited moment of the historic Carnival. In 1801, The War of the Oranges, was the one that saw the defeat of Portugal by Spain, and took this name because Prince Manuel Godoy y Álvarez de Faria sent baskets of fruit to his lover, the Queen, to celebrate the victory. The revenge of the oranges was to be called Portugual for a long time in the perfume industry. The oranges praised and sold by merchants, accompany the tragic end of Carmen in Bizet's opera of the same name. Of all the stories, my favorite is the offering of oranges at Christmas, a gift of light, a message to announce the end of winter, rebellious fruits that wear the color of summer". Jean-Claude Ellena

A fruit so juicy and carnal that it is associated, in the collective imagination, with battles and celebrations. As popular and earthly in our memories, as it is elegant and sophisticated in olfactory compositions.
