Daisy Mist Mandarin Fizz

Mandarin Fizz is the other citrus mist in the range and exists to be the softer of the two. Mandarin essential oil leads and it is the sweet, slightly floral sort of citrus rather than the biting kind, so the opening is juicy rather than sour. Pink grapefruit sits alongside it and adds a bitter, slightly soapy edge that keeps the mandarin honest, and maracuja, which is passionfruit, pulls the whole thing towards the tropics with a tart, seedy sweetness. There is no floral or woody structure underneath to speak of; it is a fruit accord and it is meant to be, which is why Fragrantica files it as straightforwardly Citrus. In a hair and body mist that works in its favour, because nothing is being asked to last that cannot. On skin it is short, an hour if that, and hair holds it better. Marc Jacobs designed the four to layer, and this one sits well under Vanilla Gourmand if you want fruit over cream. Best in warm weather, entirely inoffensive at a desk, and good as a mid-afternoon reset. The bottle is the pink one, with the Daisy charm on the cap.
