Rectoverso Mandarin Musk (2000)
by Ulric de Varens

Despite the horrible orange plastic bottle this is a great scent that deserved a much better fate. When I first sampled it, the house of Bulgari instantly came to mind. RMM has that same playful, light vibe that is so typical of many Bulgari creations. I'm sure there is some tea in here as well. The scent goes from a pleasant neroli and mandarin top to a slightly sweet and musky drydown that lingers for a very long time. Shortly, if you see this scent somewhere, be sure to try it. A very unknown gem.
