ARANCIA ROSSA - LABORATORIO OLFATTIVO

“While bergamot is elegant, lemon energetic, tangerine joyful, orange is solar and tragic in its destiny. Every year in February, the city of Ivrea, not far from Turin, commemorates its historic Carnival with a battle of oranges. In the past, Portugal’s defeat in 1801 in Spain took the name of the Orange War, because Prince Manuel Godoy y Álvarez de Faria sent his mistress the queen baskets of fruit to celebrate the victory. The revenge of the oranges was that they were called Portugual for a long time in the making of perfumes. As for Carmen, the tragic end of Bizet’s opera takes place in the Real Maestranza of Caballerina in Sister City, while outside the chorus of merchants sings to the crowd that rushes into the arena. Of all the stories, my favorite is the Christmas offer of oranges, a message that the end of winter is coming. Orange is a rebellious fruit with the color of summer.” Jean-Claude Ellena
