Mandarino presents a hyper-realistic, almost edible impression of fresh mandarin peel, capturing the juicy tartness alongside subtle green bitterness and a faint herbal undertone reminiscent of celery. The fragrance unfolds with a luminous burst of citrus, leaning into the pulpy, sticky sweetness of mandarin while black currant adds a sharp, sulfurous edge that enhances realism. White musk softens the dry-down, producing a clean, airy finish that clings to skin and clothing with a quiet persistence after the initial burst fades. Though the longevity is brief and projection is intimate, the experience is undeniably vivid and uplifting—like walking through a sunlit orchard. The scent leans toward spring and summer, best suited for daytime wear.
