What does Upcycled Mandarin smell like?

It opens with Italian mandarine, green mandarin and Italian lemon in a bright citrus burst, with pink pepper and Indian cardamom adding a light spice. Orange blossom and French lavender bring a soft, floral and green heart. In the base, amber, vanillin and Siam benzoin sweeten the scent and leave a powdery, creamy trail.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though only a few votes support this. It reads as unisex, suited to both men and women. Elizabeth Arden Pretty (Eau de Parfum) and Jennifer Lopez Glow have a close profile.
