Shay & Blue London Blood Oranges is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Julie Massé. Blood Oranges opens with Blood Orange, settles into a heart of Leather, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Amber. Shay & Blue London's Blood Oranges carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a divisive brew; a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some say it's a photorealistic blood orange dream, others get industrial cleaner or an overwhelming leather hit. If you're after a sophisticated citrus with an edgy drydown, sample first and see if it sings on your skin.

Its initial freshness makes it ideal for casual and sport settings, though the later leather accord keeps it from being purely athletic. The moderate sillage and debate over longevity mean it can work in an office, but it might be too unique for formal events.

About

Blood Oranges bursts open with a juicy, vibrant blood orange. This zesty top note gradually mellows, allowing a smooth, approachable leather heart to emerge, underpinned by warm woody notes, soft musk, and a hint of amber. It's a journey from sun-drenched orchards to a more grounded, sophisticated finish, though some find the citrus more fleeting than others.
