mandarin, no overthinking

4 oils · Citrus · Floral · Minty · code BL-1490


No need to overthink it; mandarin always makes things happy. Mandarin and neroli, four drops each, blend juicy sweetness with pure white flowers; sweet orange and peppermint, three drops each, add cheerful freshness and an icy chill. This scent is like a glass of chilled mandarin juice, great for the living room, the kitchen or the office on hot days. For a gentler sweetness, swap the peppermint for spearmint.

How it unfolds

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); peppermint (cool, sharp and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
