Parfumerie Particulière Blue Mandarine is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Amélie Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Parfumerie Particulière's Blue Mandarine carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive citrus marine that evokes seaside freshness for some and an outdated cologne for others. It's a 'try before you buy' given the hefty price tag and mixed reviews.

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 moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The fresh, casual nature of the citrus and marine notes also makes it a great fit for daytime and casual settings, though it might be a bit too relaxed for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Blue Mandarine bursts open with a refreshing splash of clementine and tangerine, quickly followed by the bright zest of grapefruit. A clean, green neroli note intertwines with a subtle ginger spice, adding an intriguing edge that some find reminiscent of a vintage masculine scent. The overall impression is a unique blend of marine saltiness and vibrant citrus.
