What does Mandarin Tea (2015) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and the office, with some choosing it for sport. It stays in the background for evenings and nights out.

As a whole it smells fresh and citrusy: mandarin orange and lemon give a bright fruity lift, while petitgrain and neroli add a green, floral edge. Tea softens that brightness, and the accords also hint at light spice and wood. It is a clean, light scent.
