Sora Dora Red is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Margaux Le Paih Guérin. Red opens with Clementine, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Sandalwood, and Caramel. Sora Dora's Red carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Sora Dora's Red is a complex, polarising gourmand that balances a rich nuttiness and spices with fresh citrus and tropical touches. Some find it a beautifully blended, comforting scent, while others are put off by its experimental, 'weird' facets and perceived synthetic drydown.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it a strong contender for dates and evening events without being overpowering for casual wear. The rich, gourmand, and spicy profile, while intriguing, might be too pronounced for a professional office setting or vigorous sport.

About

Red opens with a vibrant burst of clementine and mandarin, quickly spiced up by pink pepper and cardamom, introducing a creamy hazelnut and coconut accord. The heart reveals a rich tapestry of tropical tiare flower, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, interwoven with the intriguing earthiness of fig and mugwort, plus warm clove and nutmeg. It settles into a luxurious base of soft woody notes, smooth sandalwood, and a subtle caramel sweetness, with an underlying musk.
