About Mandora
Mandora is a citrus hybrid of mandarin and orange. A supplier of its essential oil describes an aromatic character connected with both fruits. In perfume, the material offers the brightness of peel alongside a broader impression of citrus juiciness.
Scent Profile
Orange-like richness meets a sparkling, green and tangy mandarin character. The supplier also describes a later floral aspect recalling tea and verbena. Those facets give the citrus profile a progression beyond the first bright impression of fruit.
Use in Perfumery
Mandora has applications in cologne-style openings and combinations with vetiver or woods. Jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom provide floral partners. Alongside cardamom and pepper, its fruit character supplies a different texture from the dry spice. These relationships allow a citrus opening to connect with aromatic, floral or woody parts of a composition.
