Eau de Mandarine Ambrée (2013)
by Hermès

Nice smell of the pith and peel of tangerine oranges, but longevity is not great. And I don't know if I would want to smell like THIS necessarily; other orange suitable scents are out there, and this one seems too "kitchen" to be worn successfully.

This is pure mandarine, close to the skin for the bitterness. Good, with some black pepper, but may be too simple for what you expect.

Great smell for 15... maybe 20 minutes then almost completely gone. I mean wow this is extremely weak... Not worth the money even at a huge discount.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to smell like orange jelly/jello. This is sweet and a little cloying, soapy and synthetic.

If you've ever eaten one of those sour tangerine Jelly Belly beans, then you've already experienced this fragrance.

I wouldn't say it was awful but it's not my idea of perfumery or even refreshing cologne. Think along the lines of a tacky car air freshener swinging from the rear view mirror of a taxi you wish you hadn't stepped into. Although this is fairly light in sillage and projection, I think it would be positively sickening in the heat.
