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
lvarez 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.
