Also a fragrance for the coming summer

All lovers and fans of orange blossoms, nectar, mandarins of all kinds should at least try this fragrance. Tangerine-tangerine is somewhat similar to L'Artisan's Fleur d'Oranger from 2005, but MM is spicier thanks to the nutmeg. Very tasty, citric, refreshing and light like a fragrance from "an old school". (absolutely celery free - as I read in several comments). I can well imagine this fragrance for hot summer days - because it is already very beautiful.

Very helpful Review 4

orange flower chutney

If the name predisposes for a citrus scent, prepare to be surprised. Of all the Serge Lutens releases that I have tried this is probably the most unconventional. It opens with a hint of candied mandarin, not the fresh, tart variety. Just a hint. Because then an intense vinegar note hits you in the face making this definitely a gourmand. An unconventional gourmand. Spices mix with vinegar, mostly cumin, giving this an oriental twist. The composition at this stage brings to mind plain old ketchup. And then orange flowers emerge transforming this into a thick, creamy floral. Orange flowers is not my favourite note in a fragrance. In fact it is a dreaded one. It usually makes me think of urinals to the point that I have to wash the dreaded stuff off my skin. But this is the only orange blossom scent that I actually enjoy wearing. In a strange way the vinegar prelude and cumin carpet draw my attention from the pissy undertones and I enjoy the creaminess of the blend. In fact the composition is so interesting that I believe Mandarine Mandarin is to orange blossom what Tubereuse Criminelle is to tuberose.
