Creed Zeste Mandarine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Zeste Mandarine opens with Orange and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Lemon and Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Creed's Zeste Mandarine carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a divisive citrus bomb - you'll either love its intensely zesty, summery vibe or find it overwhelmingly synthetic and over-priced. Don't expect subtlety; this is pure, unadulterated orange-lemon energy.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its bright, fresh citrus accords make it ideal for casual summer wear and sports, as it feels invigorating. However, its weak sillage and simple, almost 'air freshener' vibe, combined with the high price point, make it less suitable for formal, date, or even office settings where more nuance is expected.

About

Zeste Mandarine opens with a vibrant, almost aggressively zesty burst of orange and petitgrain, feeling like biting directly into a citrus peel. The heart continues this lemon and mandarin onslaught, maintaining a sharp, bright intensity. As it settles, a clean veil of patchouli emerges, grounding the lively citrus notes with a subtle woody aromatic warmth, although the citrus remains undoubtedly the star from start to finish.
