L'Artisan Parfumeur Mandarine is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Olivia Giacobetti. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Mandarine carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, photo-realistic mandarin scent that captures the essence of peeling the fruit. Its beauty is universally praised, but its notoriously fleeting performance makes it a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with many finding it too ephemeral to justify the price.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its intimate sillage and very weak longevity make it unsuitable for formal occasions or dates where projection is key. However, its fresh, clean nature is perfect for casual wear, summer days, and even light activity, as it won't overwhelm.

About

Imagine peeling a fresh mandarin orange - that's the vibrant, zesty opening of this scent. Juicy and slightly green, it evokes the whole fruit, not just the juice. As it settles, a soft, creamy frangipani note emerges, adding a touch of sweet warmth, balanced by a subtle, spicy kick of ginger. The base gently fades into a clean, smooth Virginia cedar, leaving a whisper of citrus on the skin.
