Mandarin (China)

Mandarin from China is celebrated for its bright, sweet, and slightly tangy citrus aroma that brings an uplifting and refreshing quality to perfumes. Its scent profile is lively and crisp, with subtle floral undertones that enhance its vibrant nature. Mandarin is commonly used as a top note, adding an invigorating burst of energy to fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with other citrus notes, florals, and woods, creating balanced and refreshing perfumes that evoke warmth and vitality.

History & Production: Mandarin oranges have been cultivated in China for thousands of years and hold cultural significance, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The essential oil is extracted from the peel of the fruit using the cold-pressing method, which preserves its natural, zesty aroma. Chinese mandarins are prized for their high-quality oil that captures the bright and cheerful essence of the fruit. This note continues to be a favorite in perfumery, infusing fragrances with a touch of sweetness and the uplifting spirit of citrus.
