Mandarin Peel

Mandarin peel is a vibrant and citrusy fragrance note with a sweet, zesty scent profile that carries subtle green and slightly bitter undertones. Its aroma is fresh, lively, and uplifting, adding a natural and cheerful quality to perfumes. Mandarin peel imparts a bright, juicy character and is often used as a top note to create an energizing and sparkling opening. It pairs beautifully with floral, green, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are refreshing, modern, and full of vitality.

History & Production: Mandarin peel comes from the outer layer of the mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata), which is cultivated in warm regions such as the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia. The essential oil is extracted from the peel through cold pressing, capturing the pure, tangy essence of the fruit. In perfumery, mandarin peel is prized for its ability to add a bright, natural citrusy freshness that enhances the overall composition of fragrances, making them feel joyful and invigorating.
