What does Mandrine smell like?
It lasts well and projects at a moderate level, so it stays fairly close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen most for leisure and workdays. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, so it sits somewhere in between.
It opens with bergamot, petitgrain, lemon leaf and bitter orange, bright and green. In the heart, star anise, thyme and parsley seed add a light spicy, herbal edge. In the base, ambroxan and benzoin soften the citrus and sweeten it slightly.
