Fragrance Profile

Blood Orange – Dark, Vibrant Citrus

Blood orange introduces the fragrance with a bright yet intense citrus character. Its juicy, tangy impression creates an energetic opening, bringing warmth and vibrancy to the otherwise icy atmosphere of Blood Hollow.

Compared with the impression of a conventional sweet orange fragrance, the blood orange accord is presented as darker, sharper, and more dramatic.

Mint Mojito – Crisp, Icy Freshness

Mint mojito adds a refreshing contrast to the blood orange. Its cool mint character evokes the freshness of a chilled cocktail, creating a clean, invigorating impression within the fragrance.

The mint mojito accord complements the citrus opening, bringing a cooler, more aromatic dimension to the composition.

Fire Meets Ice

Together, blood orange and mint mojito create a fragrance defined by contrast. The vivid citrus character brings energy and intensity, while the minty freshness provides a crisp, cooling balance.

The result is a bold citrus-mint scent that feels refreshing, distinctive, and well suited to customers who enjoy bright fragrances with an aromatic edge.

For wet shaving enthusiasts who appreciate American-made grooming products, Blood Hollow offers a combination of traditional shaving soap ingredients and an unconventional citrus-mint scent.
