What it smells like

Mandarin smells sweet, juicy and tangy, like the peel of a ripe, easy-to-peel citrus fruit. It is softer, rounder and more sugary than lemon or orange, with a gentle floral roundness and a friendly, sunny brightness. It is a fleeting top note that gives a fragrance an immediate feeling of freshness and cheer. It blends well with woods, musks and white florals, and it often softens the sharper edge of other citrus notes.
