Green mandarin or Happy New Year
Fragrance notes
Character
Sicilian mandarin arrives bright and cold, like fruit pulled straight from a refrigerator. Bergamot adds a clean, bitter edge that keeps the opening from feeling like candy. Lime peel enters with a sharp rasp that cuts through the heavier citrus. Orange blossom brings a soft, creamy white floral layer that sits just above the greenery.
Grass and ammophila give the heart a damp, crushed-stem scent that smells like a lawn after rain. Cardamom introduces a warm, spicy lift that prevents the green notes from turning too sharp. White cedar extract settles underneath with a dry, pale wood that feels more like a bleached fence than a forest. The sweetness here is light and stays close to the skin.
The overall impression is a sunlit courtyard where citrus trees grow next to a manicured lawn. It feels natural rather than synthetic, though the orange blossom can lean a little thin in the mix. The cedar and cardamom do not have enough weight to carry the fragrance through a complex drydown. The composition lacks depth once the initial citrus and grass fade from the foreground.
