Good mood in drop form
Wintertime is stew time! True, but doesn't quite fit the theme....
But wintertime is also southern fruit time. This wisdom comes from a time when you could not buy any fruit on any day of the year in any discount store (which did not exist at that time), because fruits and vegetables were not yet flown to Germany every day freshly caught from all parts of the world. At that time, citrus fruits lasted several days and weeks in the fruit bowl and you could safely send them in a package to the dear relatives in the East Zone, which at that time took two to three weeks by mail without them immediately rotting away. At that time I was hooked by the taste and the sweet smell of mandarins, which you can hardly find nowadays, because you can almost only buy clementines, a cross between mandarins and bitter oranges, with the wish to cross out the annoying seeds as a hybrid. In the process, unfortunately, the flavor has largely fallen by the wayside. Visit the well-sorted fruit shop around the corner - as far as they still exist - and do a tasting of a real mandarin compared to the discounter clementine. The difference is as glaring as between Angus pastured beef and Styrofoam. Vegetarians and vegans substitute tofu for the beef, but the difference should still be similar. This is just as a brief commodity fact beforehand.
Who ever strolls past an Hermès counter with all the wonderfully illuminated bottles, the eyes are certainly stuck with one or the other color. With me, it is naturally mostly orange. A very intense yet natural color, a gorgeous splash of color for any perfume collection. I'm a sucker for that standard massive yet delicate Hermes bottle, but in this just reminiscent of clear amber color, it's quite special. The black knob goes well with it, but also isn't distracting, and the atomizer reliably disperses a fine mist. Overall, a fine package.
With the first sniff receive and embrace one also immediately the fruits. Depending on the mood of the day and one smells first sometimes more passion fruit, sometimes more tangerine. But these two fruits play, dance, circle around each other, sometimes one leads, sometimes the other. At the same time, they complement each other in a wonderful way with their natural fruit, with their acidity, with their sweetness, their juiciness. Overall, the mandarin lasts longer with me, the passion fruit fades slightly after three to four hours. If its acidity decreases, a warm and soft accord spreads in the base, which supports and underpins the tangerine brilliantly, but never displaces.
On me, the fragrance lasts a good eight to ten hours, sometimes longer and remains over the time also very pleasantly present. However, since the scent progression is minimal thanks to the few fragrance chords, you can always add, especially in the summer, to intensify the olfactory experience again, without the chords would ever bite. I have made the experience that "Eau de Mandarine Ambrée" is also excellent for layering with other Hermès fragrances. A spritz of "Bel Ami" or "Equipage" over it and you have a slightly more tart and masculine impact. On the other hand, a spritz of "Eau de Mandarine Ambrée" on the classic "Bel Ami" or "Equipage" offers a friendlier, more summery face. These scents don't clash, but can complement each other beautifully when layered sparingly. Overall, I would not want to talk about a women's or men's fragrance with "Eau de Mandarine Ambrée", it is clearly wearable by everyone, because it is generally unisex due to its fruit as in aromatherapy.
In general, I see "Eau de Mandarine Ambrée" less as a fragrance, but as a mood-lifting companion that simply spreads good mood. Whether in the office or in leisure, this fragrance fits always and at any time of year. It is not perceived as disturbing, although I always get surprised looks, because the environment first looks for the fruit and only notices with time that I smell like that. Is perhaps also because that the fragrance chords are very intense on the one hand, but always have an absolutely unadulterated and especially natural character.
As I said, "Eau de Mandarine Ambrée" is good mood in drop form, perhaps not necessarily for everyone a must-have, but extensively tested you should have him in any case times.
By the way, the orange originated from the crossing of mandarin and grapefruit. But that only in the margin ...
