Another of those 'how does he do it?' mysteries from Jean-Claude Ellena.
Mandarine Ambrée does exactly what it says on the tin : mandarin - amber ... mandarin - amber ... amber - mandarin.
But how does he make the mandarin - a citrus top note, last as long as the base note - amber?
The answer is; it's virtual mandarin.
Once you've figured that one out, this linear - and rather straightforward - amber tends to lose its interest.

This one is the best mandarine out there, its like a fresh very sweet mandarin, nothing more nothing less, but its just so delicious!
Wery well done, and i get in a uplifting and good mood wearing this on a summer day/evening.
There is one big minus with this one thou, it comes on strong and leave you in a heart beat, 1h good projection, 2nd hour close to skin, and then its gone, but d..amn those 2hours is a joy!
For that reason this one is not in my collection at all times, but i do wish it was, but the price vs how short it last and how fast a bootle will be used makes it a treat i get some summers but not every summer.
Stil big thumbs up because how great the smell really is, wish hermes could make a intense version that lasted longer, that would be something.

Mandarine and Amber go so well together and the result of this combination is just that - a pleasant well put together lazy orange golden hued mandarine fragrance. My impression is of a slightly limpid result simply because there is no contrasting bitters or animalic notes to add drama, excitement or the aggressiveness needed to make this a compelling story. I want to go to sleep wearing this, even though it does smell good. I have a problem with how safe and pleasantly normal this scent is especially from a perfumer with such artistic chops as JC Ellena. This could have been so much more special. It does smell good.
Unashamedly love this. Hits a nice balance between real mandarin and that insanely delicious artificial orange flavouring that's used in sweets, and sometimes a trashy and uplifting fruit hit is just what you want.
Tartness. Oranges soaked in cheap brandy. An almost pomander accord sans cloves. Becomes somewhat bitter. Only a hint, of fruity sweetness as this wears on. Still, that tiny sweet does not, can not mask the bitter smell. The amber appears later. It seems fizzy / fuzzy, almost blurry. The mandarin sits on the amber as though it's trying to suffocate the life out of it. EDMA fails to move me...
Much later the amber rises a bit, as the orange fades.
