Angela Flanders Mandarin & Mint is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1991. Mandarin & Mint opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, Sage, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Galbanum.

Don't let the name Mandarin & Mint fool you; this one's a divisive brew. Reviewers reckon it's a citrus cleaning product in a bottle and doesn't last, calling it a huge disappointment. Approach with caution, as it might be a big swerve.

Casual

Given the 'lemon cleaning fluid' comparison and poor reported longevity, it's best suited for casual wear or perhaps the office if you prefer something light and unobtrusive. Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for sport, but its lack of projection means it won't stand out on a date or at a formal event.

About

Mandarin & Mint opens with a sharp, aldehydic burst of bergamot and a fleeting hint of orange blossom. The promised mandarin struggles to assert itself against a surprisingly green and herbal heart, where invigorating mint vies with earthy basil and the understated complexity of marjoram, sage, and thyme. The dry-down veers into a more traditional, slightly bitter territory with prominent galbanum, vetiver and a dusky oakmoss, leaving a stark, clean impression.
