Mandarin & Mint by Angela Flanders, 1991

I don't know know what they have put in the sample vial that I bought online from Angela Flanders but this is so light that it almost disappeared from my skin in a couple of hours after application and now, after 10 hours there is no trace of it on neither on my skin nor on my clothes. And I must say I used half of the sample! Disappointment BIG time!

Love this! A very herbaceous, minty take on citrus - it reminds me a bit of a cross between Guerlian's Aqua Allegoria "Mentafollia" and "Herba Fresca", albeit a bit heavier on the orange.

The top notes are neroli and green mandarin (and probably some lemon), which fade a bit during the initial drydown, mixing pleasantly with middle notes of mint, clary sage, and lavender. The base is Galbanum which gives it just a slight medicinal edge, but a pleasant one.

An excellent and refreshing summer scent! It isn't as strong as some AFs, but it has several hours longevity at least and medium potent sillage.

Also called "Mandarin Vert", and recommended as a unisex scent.
