OrientalWhat does Oriental Mandarin smell like?
The top notes of bergamot, shiso and mandarin orange give it a fruity brightness. In the heart, cedarwood, cistus and patchouli build a woody, spicy base. Musk, amber and vanilla soften and sweeten the finish, and the overall impression moves between floral, gourmand and oriental accords.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. The number of votes is small, so this reading is tentative. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. Roberto Cavalli Florence and Lattafa Ajwad have a close profile.
