New Notes Akigala Mandarino is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024. Akigala Mandarino opens with Mandarin, Apple, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily Of The Valley, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood and Amber. New Notes's Akigala Mandarino carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Akigala Mandarino is a fiercely divisive scent. Some call it an absolute masterpiece, an improvement on Ganymede, while others find it a "massive disappointment" of synthetic notes and fleeting performance. Expect a jarring juxtaposition of bright fruit and challenging wood.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its strong projection and unique, sometimes synthetic, character make it less ideal for the office. However, its bold and modern fruit-wood blend could work well for dates or casual nights out where making a statement is desired. Some reviews point to its versatility, but its intensity might be too much for everyday wear or very formal settings.

About

Opens with an intensely fruity burst of apple, raspberry, and mandarin, veering between naturally zesty and bubblegum synthetic. This vivid sweetness is quickly undercut by a sharp, almost plastic-like akigalawood, which some perceive as leathery or even peppery. White florals of lily of the valley, jasmine, and freesia try to soften the edges, but the amber and akigalawood ultimately anchor the fragrance in a complex, polarising fashion.
