What does Mandarino smell like?
It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage, staying fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. It doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine; the votes for both sit close together.
The Italian mandarin comes first as a fresh, sweet citrus. Blackcurrant at the heart adds a green, fruity note, and white musk underneath softens everything and keeps it light. Composed by Jean-Claude Ellena, it stays simple and airy. Arancia Rossa and Arancia di Capri have a close profile.
