Blooddrop Cicada — a citrusy-fruity fragrance
Blooddrop Cicada is a women's perfume in an oil-based format, released in 2009 by the American brand Blooddrop.
This is a bright, juicy and expressive composition for those who love fruity accords with a sparkling citrus mood and a distinctive character.
The fragrance belongs to the citrus and fruity families, and its sillage is described as very strong.
The story of Blooddrop began in 2006 in the United States.
The brand creates its own world at the intersection of art, imagination and perfumery, so Cicada feels less like an impersonal fruity fragrance and more like an artistic interpretation of a sunny, juicy and slightly daring theme.
The character and mood of the composition
At the heart of Cicada lies a contrast between fresh citrus nuances and rich, sweet fruitiness.
Grapefruit and lime add a bright, zesty tartness, melon makes the scent softer and juicier, while raspberry, blackberry and candied fruit create an appetizing, almost neon-like fruity accord.
Geranium introduces a floral nuance and helps balance the sweetness.
As a result, the fragrance goes beyond a simple impression of fruity freshness: it gains a subtle green facet, dynamism and a more focused character.
On the skin, Blooddrop Cicada may develop particularly prominently thanks to its oil-based concentration.
The overall impression centers on a dense, rich cloud of fruits and citrus that can linger beside the wearer for a long time and attract attention.
Who Blooddrop Cicada is for and when to wear it
It is positioned as a women's fragrance, but its energetic fruity palette will appeal above all to those who are not afraid of bright and noticeable compositions.
Cicada is well suited to warm weather, when citrus and juicy fruit notes sound especially lively, as well as to informal gatherings, walks and summer parties.
Because of its very strong sillage, the fragrance should be used with care, especially in a small space.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing have not been provided, so it is best to start with a minimal amount and see how the oil-based perfume develops on your skin.
The perfumer and the fragrance's place in the brand's style
The composition was created by Astrid Favro-Hild Weinstock, an artist and perfumer who was one of the founders of Blooddrop.
Her artistic approach helps Cicada retain its vivid imagery and emotional character: the fragrance sounds like a burst of color in which freshness, sweetness and juicy fruitiness merge into a memorable accord.
If you enjoy citrusy-fruity fragrances with a strong presence, you may also want to explore Hermès Rose Amazone, and compare Cicada with Memo Corfu and Bath and Body Works Grapefruit Breeze.
They do not literally replicate the Blooddrop composition, but may appeal to those drawn to a similarly juicy, fresh and expressive style.
