Citrus

Lemon blossom smells like standing beneath a Mediterranean lemon tree in spring—brighter and more delicate than the fruit itself. Imagine the zesty sharpness of fresh lemon peel mingling with white flowers: creamy, almost honeyed, with a subtle green leafiness underneath. It's simultaneously fresh and slightly powdery, like a sunny morning captured in scent. Less acidic than bottled lemon juice, it carries an ethereal, almost soapy cleanliness with whispers of neroli and subtle sweetness.

Citrus

Mandarin orange smells like biting into a sun-warmed orange on a summer afternoon—bright, juicy, and intensely sweet, but with a slightly floral, almost creamy undertone that distinguishes it from sharper citrus fruits like lemon. It's warmer and softer than bergamot, less bitter than grapefruit, with a whisper of honeyed smoothness. Imagine the concentrated essence of that sticky-fingered moment when you peel the fruit and release its aromatic oils—that's mandarin's character: immediately uplifting, naturally sweet, and wrapped in an almost candied warmth.
