Upcycled Mandarin

Which Should You Buy?
This is a solid, mass-appealing freshie that punches well above its weight class. A divisive opening quickly gives way to a sophisticated, versatile scent that’s an absolute steal for the price.
Don't let the name fool you - this one is a classic bait-and-switch. Advertised as a zesty mandarin, this turns rapidly into a sweet, almond-heavy gourmand. If you're after a citrus bomb, you'll be gravely disappointed. For almond-biscuit lovers, however, you might have found your jam.
