Mandarine Basilic is a cheerful and mellow. Gorgeous fresh citrusy opening becomes more luscious and sweeter as it develops. Aromatic and spicy note of basil makes a perfect match to mandarin and accentuates its freshness, as if it is just picked from the tree.

This is a fragrance for both summer and winter, as mandarin is in many parts of the world considered to be a winter time fruit. Bitter fresh citruses, clementine and bitter orange, blend with the green wafts of ivy, green tea and mild orange blossom notes. With development the scent becomes sweeter and luscious, and the notes of mandarin and peony take over. Aromatic and sharp notes of basil and cumin bring in a natural green note. The composition is finally rounded by amber and sandalwood.
