Max Philip Mandarin is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Mandarin opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Pear, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Woody, and Musk. Max Philip's Mandarin carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

If you're hunting for a high-quality, citrus-infused woody-amber at a fraction of the cost of its designer doppelgänger, Mandarin is your go-to. It's a crowd-pleaser that delivers on all fronts without breaking the bank.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and fresh, yet woody, character make it versatile enough for most settings. It's a strong choice for dates or casual wear, but perhaps a bit too vibrant for very formal events. The woody backbone gives it some gravitas, preventing it from being purely a 'sporty' scent.

About

Max Philip's Mandarin opens with a lively, zesty burst of its namesake fruit, immediately giving way to a sophisticated heart of soft orange blossom and delicate rose, subtly sweetened by a hint of juicy pear. The base unfolds into a rich, resonant blend of akigalawood and other dry woods, underpinned by a clean, lingering musk. It's a modern, balanced composition that transitions smoothly from bright and fresh to warm and inviting.
