Mandarin Oil is extracted from the peel of the mandarin fruit, scientifically known as Citrus reticulata. The oil has been used in perfumery for centuries, prized for its sweet, citrusy aroma that adds a refreshing note to fragrance compositions. In perfumery, Mandarin Oil is appreciated for its ability to blend well with a variety of scents, including floral, spicy, and woody notes. Its versatility makes it a staple in many fragrance types, ranging from light, fresh colognes to more complex oriental and chypre perfumes. The method of cold pressing is commonly used to extract the oil from the fruit's peel. This method helps retain the oil's natural and vibrant aroma, characterized by its sunny and cheerful citrus notes, with a slightly sweet and floral undertone.
Natural or Synthetic?
Mandarin Oil is predominantly used in its natural form due to the unique and irreplaceable aroma it offers. The natural oil is extracted through cold pressing, preserving its vibrant citrus notes. While synthetic variants exist, they are typically used to supplement the natural oil or in cases where cost-effectiveness is a priority.
