Our old description of MOR Italian Blood Orange lists notes of orange, apple, peach, pineapple and pear and Italian Blood Orange. MOR’s most recent description lists ruby red Italian blood oranges infused with soft summer floral notes of jasmine, rose and Lily of the Valley. I definitely have to say the first description is far more accurate. I am overwhelmed with sweet fruit explosion. A little of the rose comes through for me, but again, more of a sweet rose than spicy. I can’t pick up the jasmine or Lily of the Valley much. I definitely wouldn’t describe the candle as floral or even as having strong floral tone.
Italian Blood Orange is one of my favorite scents. It’s fresh and juicy but not zesty or floral. Just perfectly refreshing. The MOR Italian Blood Orange candle started out fresh and juicy but grew into an overwhelming fruit bowl for me after a few hours. The pineapple, peach, pear and apple started to dominate and the whole thing got too sweet for me. If you like sweet-fruity candle – this is for you! If you like Volcano No. 6 you would probably love this fragrance. The candle was very fragrant and burned beautifully – very easy, clean and level across the top. The top re-solidified smooth and the whole candle looks stunning from start to finish.
Tips for enjoying mor italian blood orange
If you are enjoying mor italian blood orange, a few simple habits help you get the most from it.
- Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch before every burn so the flame stays steady and clean.
- On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the container to help prevent tunneling.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, fans and anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Stop burning when about half an inch of wax is left in the container, and let it cool fully before relighting.

A quick scent guide
Layering is a fun way to personalize a room. Pairing two scents that share a note, such as a citrus with a green leaf, can create something that feels like yours.
Give a scent time. The first impression is not always the whole story, because fragrance notes open up and settle as a candle warms or a diffuser works.
Seasons change what we want to smell. Many people reach for light, airy scents in spring and summer, and richer, warmer scents in fall and winter.
Care matters. Store candles and fragrance oils away from heat and direct sun, keep lids on, and follow the maker’s instructions to keep a scent smelling its best.
