Olfactory Laboratory Orange Red Parfum Cologne Unisex - 100 ml

Laboratorio Olfattivo Arancia Rossa Eau de Cologne 100 ml is a citrus unisex eau de cologne. The master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, inspired by his love for Italy, has created for Laboratorio Olfattivo a collection called “Viaggio in Italia by Jean-Claude Ellena”, whose stops are: Mandarin, Lemon, Bergamot, and the new Red Orange, representations of the joy of living and the typically Italian good mood. Perfumes that are like “a ray of sunshine on a typically winter day.” A fruit so juicy and carnal that it is, in the collective imagination, linked to battles and celebrations. As popular and down-to-earth in our memories as it is elegant and sophisticated in olfactory compositions. “If bergamot is elegant, lemon energetic, mandarin joyful, orange is sunny and tragic in its destiny. In the city of Ivrea, not far from Turin, every year in February, an orange battle is the most anticipated 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 oranges’ revenge was to be called Portugual for a long time in the perfume industry. The oranges praised and sold by merchants accompany Carmen’s tragic end 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 Ellen
