The story behind the bottle.
Mandarine by L'Artisan Parfumeur was launched in 2006 and is a creation by the perfumer Olivia Giacobetti. This fragrance stands as a vibrant expression of citrus freshness, blending notes that evoke both the brightness of mandarin oranges and the warmth of woody undertones. The composition opens with a burst of fresh spicy and fruity accords, which seamlessly transition into a heart of floral and tropical elements before settling into a warm, enveloping base of woody scents.
Mandarine's fresh top notes fade quickly, so for maximum impact, layer it by applying to pulse points. It reads best close to skin rather than projecting across a room, making it ideal for daytime wear or casual settings.
