Aaron Terence Hughes Blood Orange is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Aaron Terence Hughes. Blood Orange opens with Blood Orange, Mandarin, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Aaron Terence Hughes's Blood Orange carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's divisive. You'll either get an amazing, authentic blood orange that lasts, or a fleeting, generic citrus that vanishes. The core idea is simple: a bold, musky orange that sparks joy for some, but leaves others feeling ripped off.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its strong projection and citrus-forward profile make it less ideal for formal or restrictive office settings, but it shines in casual day wear. The bright, energetic nature of the orange also makes it a surprisingly good fit for dates or active scenarios, though some note it fades quickly.

About

It opens with a zesty, almost photorealistic burst of blood orange, mandarin, and tangerine, bright and invigorating. This vibrant citrus gradually mellows, allowing a hint of jasmine sambac to peek through, adding a delicate floral touch. The dry down settles into a warm, sensual embrace of soft musk, creamy sandalwood, and a rich amber, providing a comforting depth to the initial citrus explosion.
