Mandarino
The perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, inspired by his love for Italy, has created a collection of parfum colognes that are portraits of Italian happiness. Mandarino, Limone and Bergamotto are the fragrances of the collection “Viaggio in Italia”, a journey to Italy, fragrances that are like sunshine in winter.
"It is the most joyous of all the citrus fruits. When I want to lend my fragrances a radiant smile (and I often do), I use mandarin oil. The advantage with colognes is that they are made for the “layering” of fragrances. Mandarin Parfum Cologne is formulated to be both simple and sophisticated. It can be used on its own, but is also compatible with all fragrances and gives them the smile that you want to have on a specific day. What’s more, it is long lasting. So smile! You have been fragranced." – Jean-Claude Ellena
Notes: Italian mandarin, blackcurrant, white musk

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
This smells SO GOOD. As soon as I sprayed it, I felt like I just peeled the skin and watched the spray of orange juice in the air. Incredible.
Love it
Fantastic!
Imagine yourself in a room, all of the sudden you smell tangerine; you look around to find who is peeling one. When you wear this fragance you won't be able to hide. After it wears out, the white musk scent stays with the sweetness of the tangerine.
I bought a full bottle of this beauty after sampling it and I'm so glad I did. So fresh, stimulating and utterly delightful. This is a very realistic scent, like peeling and biting into a fresh mandarin or similar citrus. Most realistic and wearable citrus scent I have ever found and I have tried many, many citrus fragrances over the years. Of course, it's by the talented Jean-Claude Ellena and it has all the magic he imparts to every scent he creates.
