Q: What does mandarin smell like?

Sweet, round orange peel. The friendliest citrus. Mandarin is the sweetest of the citrus notes and the least sharp. Where bergamot is dry and grapefruit is tart, mandarin is round and juicy, closer to the peel of a satsuma than to lemon. It is the citrus most people find immediately likeable.

Q: Is mandarin a top, heart or base note?

It is a top note, so it is one of the first things you smell and one of the first to fade. The soft way to open. Mandarin gives brightness without the bitterness of bergamot or grapefruit, and it sits happily over gourmand bases.

Q: What does mandarin pair well with?

The studio would start with vanilla, orange blossom, tonka bean and cardamom. It is the citrus to choose when the base is sweet. Over vanilla, caramel or tonka it reads as warm rather than clashing, which is a problem grapefruit has. It fades fast, like all citrus, so treat it as the first impression and let the heart carry the rest.

Q: What fragrance family is mandarin in?

Citrus. Bright peel and juice, sharp at the open and quick to lift.

Sweet, round orange peel. The friendliest citrus.
