The Essence Vault Mandarino Di Amalfi - 53 is an Eau de Parfum. Mandarino Di Amalfi - 53 opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Mint, settles into a heart of Floral Notes and Tarragon, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. The Essence Vault's Mandarino Di Amalfi - 53 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

No. 53 leans hard into the citrus opening of Acqua Di Parma Mandarino Di Amalfi - the mandarin and mint burst is close and immediate - but it flattens out fast, losing the original's sophisticated coastal drydown within an hour or two.

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

No. 53 is The Essence Vault's take on the sun-drenched Italian citrus classic, built around a bright mandarin and lemon top with a cooling mint lift. Where the designer original lingers on a more layered coastal-herb heart, this budget version pushes the sparkling citrus forward and keeps the tarragon and white floral notes as a light supporting touch rather than a fully developed middle. The drydown settles into a soft musk and cedar base that reads clean and unobtrusive rather than richly textured. It captures the immediate uplifting impression of the original convincingly for the first hour, making it a solid everyday citrus for warm weather, office wear, or anywhere a fresh effortless character is wanted, though it won't hold up over a long evening the way the original can.
