    Scrumptious caramelized mandarin unfolds against surreally smooth tonka bean and cinnamon, conjuring up memories of Christmas pomanders and mulled wine. It’s actually inspired by a heady summer night in Spain, but when it’s right, it’s right! I recommend layering it with Acure Organics Sublime Sweet Orange body lotion: HEAVEN.

    On my skin, Mandarina Corsica is mostly a play-off between two competing accords, namely juicy mandarin and creamy caramel. The madarin scores first with not only its vividly realistic succulent pulps, but also its slightly bitter, even metallic pith, while the caramel looms around the edge. Then the caramel gathers force in the next two hours to gain equal footing with the mandarin.
    The caramel in Mandarina Corsica is thankfully not one-dimensional, saccarine syrupiness. Instead, it has a deliciously milky, unctuous texture mimicking the sensation when a cube of caramel starts to melt on the palate. Moreover, there is also a subtle smoky facet, probably borrowed from the immortelle, that enhances the natural feeling of the caramel note, while a delicate touch of tonka beans’ powdery almond nuance rounds everything off.
    This middle phase of Mandarina Corsica is my favourite part, not only because the caramel note is well constructed and rich in nuances, but also because its juxtaposition with the juicy pulp and metallic pith of mandarin creates an intriguing tension as well as making the caramel appear less heavy. As a result, I’m reminded of Déliria also from L’Artisan, and Etat Libre d’Orange La Fin du Monde also signed by Quentin Bisch. Not because they smell any similar, but all three have this interesting contrast between various gourmand and metallic elements. I’m also sometimes reminded of Prada Candy at times, as both have an appetizingly unctuous yet not so heavy caramel note, but the mandarine note also plays a strong role in Mandarina Corsica.
    The dry down is predictably dominated by the caramel and tonka bean about 5 hours in. Sadly, without the enticing citrus to balance, the caramel and tonka bean tend to become more sugary and flat in the end. The sillage is moderate in general, while the longevity can reach to 10 hours.
    I initially dismissed Mandarina Corsica as uninteresting upon first sniff, having thought it’s merely capitalzing the gourmand trend. But when the different nuances unfold themselves in the course of its development, I was pleasantly surprised. However, I’m still slightly disappointed by the safe and monotonous dry down, especially because of the potential shown by this surprising juxtapostion of two well realised accords. Nevertheless, I think it’s worth at least sampling it, even if gourmand fragrances are not one’s favourite genre and just for a fun olfactory experience.

    I have only tried on the paper: it reminded me of the opening of Baccarat Rouge 540. There is a plaisant contrast between mandarine and sweet notes. By the way, I am happy to find out that it is a work of Monsieur Bisch.

    it begins with a fresh note of sweet mandarine orange that will remain for several hours, then appears a warm gourmet smell of bakery with caramel, tonka, vanilla, sandal that reminded me a mix of Bois farine of Artisan Parfumeur and Jeu de peau of Serge Lutens with the mandarine note on top.
