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.

About

Mandarine opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of mandarin and pomelo, intensely fresh and natural like peeling a ripe citrus fruit. This sunny introduction softens into a warm embrace of amber, providing a comforting, golden glow. Underneath, subtle woody notes add an earthy depth, expertly grounding the initial citrus zing without overwhelming its freshness. It's an understated yet sophisticated take on citrus, with a soft, inviting drydown.
