Upcycled Mandarin

A luminous, upcycled mandarin Eau de Parfum that moves from green, spicy citrus brightness through soft fruity-floral and immortelle tones into a gently sweet, woody-amber drydown.

Scent Development and Character

A bright yet layered mandarin citrus, Upcycled Mandarin opens with vivid green and juicy facets of lemon and multiple mandarin extractions, sharpened by pink pepper and cardamom. As it evolves, a soft aromatic and floral tone folds into apricot-like fruitiness and a honeyed immortelle nuance, before settling into a gently sweet, woody-amber base that keeps the citrus glowing rather than fading abruptly.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Upcycled Mandarin wears as a versatile citrus that is more complex than a classic cologne: the spicy and aromatic facets give it structure, while the apricot, immortelle, and soft woods add a mellow halo that makes it suitable from office to evening. It stays relatively close to the wearer, with a steady presence rather than explosive projection, and works well in temperate to warm weather or as a bright accent on grey days. Best suited to spring and summer for its luminous citrus and moderate weight, while the spice, immortelle and woody-amber base also make it comfortable in mild autumn and temperate winter climates. Sillage: moderate, forming a clear but not overpowering aura; the citrus-spice opening is more noticeable, then the softer fruity-woody base sits closer to the skin. Longevity: Moderate to moderately strong longevity: the bright citrus top softens after a few hours, but the spicy, fruity and woody-amber base keeps the scent present on skin for much of the day rather than behaving like a fleeting cologne.
