OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
Mandarin adds fruity notes which are very clean and natural, with a fresh, zesty, aldehyde facet.
History
Originally from South China, the mandarin was offered during festivities to the highest authorities, called
mandarins, who gave their name to the fruit. Flourishing under ample sun and light, the mandarin was
introduced to the Mediterranean basin in the 19th century and is now grown mainly in southern Europe,
the United States and South Africa. This small tree with star-shaped white flowers which perfume the
spring air is particularly at home in Italy and is cultivated in Sicily, Calabria and Campania.
The mandarin ripens in the fall. From its bitter, fragrant peel, which is dried and used in Chinese
medicine, to its pulp, the fruit is an amazing concentrate of vital elements. Its sweet, juicy pulp, with a
characteristic, very mild taste and unique scent, is eaten as is, candied or cooked. Finally, its citrusy,
fruity, delicate and sparkling fragrance is known for its ability to calm and as a stimulant to imagination
and creativity. This, in turn, has given rise to the symbolism associated to this miraculous fruit; sunny and
carefree, the mandarin is the Mediterranean’s lucky charm.

“Pomme,” the French word for apple, comes from the Latin “pomum,” meaning “fruit,” since the

Visitors to the Hesperidian gardens ate golden apples. Golden apples were also found in the Christian
paradise and in Celtic tradition, King Arthur is buried on the magic island of Avalon, known as the “Island
of Apples”.
In white magic, the apple is used for vowing love. If you want someone to love you, share with that
