Mandarine
Mandarine
Originally launched in 2006 under the name Mandarine Tout Simplement, this gorgeous summer fragrance has been brought back by popular demand as a limited-edition called Mandarine.
Based on the mandarin orange, the fruit of the tropical mandarin tree, it opens with a note of zesty green mandarin. Its sharp greenness offsets the luscious sweetness of the citrusy orange. There’s ginger here too, adding warmth that balances the mandarin. As the scent relaxes, it opens the brain's pleasure centre, giving the wearer a sense of refreshment that often results in a smile. The heart notes do their work too. Here, fragrant yellow mandarin, tart and fresh, is paired with a note of creamy, heady, sweet frangipani, adding a lovely, exotic jasmine/peach accord. This has the effect of lulling the wearer into a sensuous, tropical vibe. The base keeps it going with red mandarin, so succulent, sweet and juicy it could rehydrate the most parched soul. A note of clean, fresh, white cedar, woody, subtly sweet, and camphoraceous anchors the fragrance.
Formulated in an EDT concentration, it doesn’t linger too long like an unwanted guest but can be reapplied as needed. Light, refreshing, and reviving – never overly sweet, fruity, or cloying - regular doses of Mandarine will quickly restore the wearer to vim, vigour, and vitality, regardless of how high the temperature rises.
Mandarine combats summer heat beautifully, but it can also be worn in other seasons to give the wearer a joyful reminder of summer pleasures.
Notes: Green mandarin orange, ginger, yellow mandarin orange, frangipani, red mandarin, and white cedar.
