What does Zeste Mandarine smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither overwhelms nor vanishes quickly. Most voters pick it for leisure, daytime and the office. Votes for a masculine and a feminine character are almost level, so it sits comfortably on either side.

It opens with lemon, orange and petitgrain for a bright, airy start, and mandarin orange joins the lemon in the heart. In the base, orange and petitgrain continue, while patchouli blossom and Tunisian orange blossom add a soft floral touch. A synthetic note also shows in the accords. Accord Parfait Hespéridé - Citron & Mandarine and Mel Merio Orange Sky have a close profile.
