Fragrance News: Mandarine Tout Simplement by L'Artisan

Mandarine Tout Simplement, the fresh new Eau de Toilette from L'Artisan Parfumeur, will weave top notes of green mandarin and ginger with the heart notes of frangipani and yellow mandarin. Red mandarin orange and white cedar provide a base upon which the composition rests. It will be presented in a 250ml bottle with a golden pump, priced at 90 euros. Mandarine Tout Simplement Eau de Toilette is a limited edition for the summer.

Mandarine Tout Simplement is going to be available from the usual L'Artisan venues. First-in-Fragrance already has it listed on the website.

This sounds like a little slice of heaven. I love orange notes, frangipani and cedar. Could it possibly live up to what I imagine it to be?

It sounds wonderful, doesn't it? I also love the orange bottle with the pump (even though I normally really do not like atomizer pumps).

I love frangipani! Love it! Add to that mandarin and ginger with cedar?? V, this sounds wonderful. I can't wait to sample this.

Hugs and love!

Wow, I'm excited. I love the bottle and the fragrance sounds fab.

I never knew there were so many different colors of mandarin :)

Thanks for the news! I would be tempted to buy this unsniffed, if it weren't for the frangipani. Hmmm, must find a sample now!

I find orange/citrus scents so refreshing in the summer. A couple of years ago, I went through an entire bottle of Caron's Eau Forte. :)

R, at first, I was lukewarm about the idea, but seeing frangipani changed my mind! I am looking forward to sampling it too.

Mark, I never knew this until I received several samples of natural oil. They smell rather different. My favourite was green mandarin--zesty, sparkly and slightly sweet. This L'Artisan sounds great.

Ann, I love citrus fragrances in the summer. I used up a bottle of AG Le Chevrefeuille (ok, it is not straight up citrus, more a hesperidic floral) two summers ago. I usually like citrus blended with florals, such as Yuzu Rouge and Rosine Un Zest de Rose.

i am more excited about their absinthe scent, but this bottle and description both just sound so endearing. the little mandarin-bulb of the atomizer just tops it perfectly.

Risa, I am excited about Fou d'Absinthe as well, although the mention of frangipani made me crave Mandarine right away. Sounds like a nice summer release.

This sounds really fun! I love orange and tangerine notes.

I knew you would be excited, L! It sounds wonderful!

Interview with Perfumer Sophia Grojsman To say that Sophia Grojsman is responsible for a revolution in perfumery would not be an overstatement, because her unique vision ushered in a new style of fragrances that broke with the traditional classical forms formerly prevalent. Indeed, she is a Picasso of perfumery, with her fragrances unfolding into visions that were as progressive as they were breathtaking. Just like Cubism fragmented three-dimensional forms, intertwining the elements in such a way as to present multiple views of the same subject, Sophia Grojsman’s fragrances changed one’s perspective by allowing the base notes to be visible from the top. ... At the time, when fragrances were created using several hundred components, she started composing scents, the main accord of which weaved only four to seven ingredients. And in those few masterfully selected strokes she was able to conjure images and sensations that...
