Mandarin orange Orpur® smells like sunshine captured in a bottle—bright, sweet, and intensely fruity, yet with a delicate, almost creamy warmth underneath. Imagine peeling a fresh mandarin orange on a winter morning: there's that initial sharp citrus burst, but it's softer and rounder than lemon, with subtle floral whispers and a slightly honeyed sweetness that lingers on your fingers. It's approachable, genuinely fruity rather than sharp, with an almost juicy quality that feels natural and edible.
Mandarin Orpur® is a proprietary extract produced by International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), derived from real mandarin orange peel. The "Orpur" designation means it's been carefully purified and standardised through modern extraction techniques—likely including cold-pressing followed by chromatographic purification to concentrate the most desirable volatile compounds whilst removing unwanted elements. This ensures consistent character batch to batch. The source fruit originates from mandarin-growing regions, particularly Mediterranean and Asian sources, though Orpur® technology allows for reliable, sustainable production that doesn't depend on seasonal variation.
Orpur® mandarin serves as a top note's luminous opening—it provides immediate, friendly brightness without aggression. Perfumers layer it to add fruity juiciness, lift, and approachability to compositions. It bridges between fresh and gourmand orientations, never feeling harsh or synthetic. Often paired with other citrus, florals, or gourmand bases to create uplifting, wearable fragrances with genuine fruit character.
