The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Mandarine Glaciale by Atelier Cologne was launched in 2015 and is a creation by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. This fragrance opens with a bright burst of Mandarin Orange, Lemon, and Bergamot, which immediately sets the tone for an invigorating experience. The heart introduces a fresh spicy note from Ginger, balanced by the green freshness of Petitgrain. As it evolves, the scent transitions into a woody base of Vetiver, Oakmoss, and White Amber, grounding the composition with earthy warmth. This transition is what makes Mandarine Glaciale a true standout — the vibrant citrus top notes seamlessly blend into an enveloping woodsy embrace.

How to wear it

Apply Mandarine Glaciale with two sprays to ensure that both the vibrant top notes and the woody base are present. The citrus opening fades within an hour, so for a full experience, reapply after lunch if needed. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its refreshing character can shine.
