Mandarina Corsica

by Quentin Bisch

L'Artisan Parfumeur Mandarina Corsica is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Quentin Bisch. Mandarina Corsica opens with Bitter Orange and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Hedione, Ethyl Maltol, Immortelle, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Cinnamon, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Mandarina Corsica carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a divisive but ultimately enchanting scent, praised for its hyper-realistic mandarin opening but criticised by some for its syrupy caramel dry-down. For others, that gourmand element is pure bliss. It's a caramel mandarin dream for some, a cloying disappointment for others, but never boring.

Its moderate sillage and gourmand warmth make it well-suited for dates and casual outings, offering a comforting presence without being overpowering. The sweetness and warm spice can be too much for formal or sport settings, and while some wear it to the office, its gourmand nature isn't universally accepted there.

About

Mandarina Corsica bursts forth with a dazzlingly realistic mandarin, a vivid splash of bitter and sweet orange peel. This bright citrus then melds into a surprisingly rich and enveloping heart of immortelle and soft white florals, before settling into a warm, utterly delectable base. Expect a comforting embrace of caramel, vanilla, and tonka, with a subtle hint of spicy cinnamon and creamy sandalwood that lingers for hours.
