Mandarina Duck

The scent of lemon ice cream at the sea on the South Island of Italy It comes with sweet lemon blossoms that are refreshingly fragrant, like sunbathing, with a pleasant scent but a bright and fresh aroma. Love it

Fresh and light scent for romantic young women. It's really gentle and mild. I adore it

similar to Pur Desir de Mimosa by Yves Rocher. warm and optimistic.

I usually don't like fresh scents like this one, but the yellow Mandarina Duck is OK. It starts peppery and very yellow :) I like pepper in perfumes so I'm satisfied ;) There is freesia recognisable but I can smell lemon almost all the time, even though it isn't included. The lemon is very true-yellow with bitter white parts, you know what it is ;) Fragrance is a little bitter and a little sweet and peppery, but I don't feel annoyed by the pepper. There's also a small hint of herbs. The drydown is sweet and the sillage is good. This is a very optimistic and lively fragrance.

Yes, schoolgirly times, loved them, yes, fresh, yes, "sounds like I know you, scent". They looked at me at the shop, and asked: "Isn't it a nice perfume?" Suuure. I have fond memories of this scent. Wanted artificial-sounding citrus, the cheap and cheerful, the loud kind. And got just that. Wearing it later on, I walked and looked at people around me, and smiled, and felt good. I have the fondest memories of Mandarina Duck.

This is a calmed down version of Esencia de Duende. Without vinegar and depilation cream note. I can scent: Lemon leaves and something peppery (almost masculine "Axel" note) + old Nivea cream + sweet plastic + linden blossom + scent of river (maybe it's tea note). Creamy, tidy, discrete, dissapearing and appearing like a sinusoid. "Pepper in cosmetic creme" category.

I love this fragrance. It is a fairly long-lasting citrics and with a moderate sillage during the first hour, the pepper is felt but without being annoying. For example, in Cabotine by Gres there is a spicy note that bothers my nose and makes me sneeze, but here the pepper is very well integrated with the citrics and white flowers.

It was very unusual choise for me. First of all I bought it blindly. Second - I liked it from the first snif. Third it's has some hint of parsley for me (weird, ha!). Botom line is: I love it. I don't think that Floral is correctly represents the group for this perfume. It is airy-spicy-green. No floral notes at all.

In winter Mandarina Duck seems like light fruity-floral fragnance, in summer it's more strong and spicy. For me it's better in summer. But I like it always and sad if the bottle is empty soon.

I would say that it's a light fragrance of not annoying pepper and yellow freesia first of all. Very long-lasting. Nice fragrance, only not my type.

my best friend's perfume:) this is a truly HAPPY scent, doctors can easily prescribe it to fight depression, and i'm not kidding!

Similar of Cristalle Eau verte Chanel.

oh god... I bought this, sprayed it once... and now, wondering how can I make it disappear. I'm sorry, I really want to at least say it's okay, but it smells so bad according to my nose, it's like a herbal drink from my country, too peppery, it gives me headache. I agree with @femmeasis. Sorry, it's just bad. On the plus side, lasting power is strong, but bad news for me, I couldn't get it off my hand, until I washed it 2 times.

I'm sorry for writing this after so many good reviews... I have a small tester. So I tried it today morning on my skin and found nothing special but a sour smell. After a while I felt nothing but a cat pee. I thought it was my cat who did her business in the wrong place, but then I realised it was the Mandarina Duck.

I don't like this one. Too herbal, it's not my style. I use to call it "Mandarina Yuck" (don't want to offend anyone, it's just a joke, even if I don't really like it I respect each others tastes :))

Mandarina Duck is in my opinion, a rather cute scent. First off I swear I can smell lemon, however it's not a sour representation, it's more of a candied lemon scent. Blended with the freesia, bergamot and subtle notes of pepper, this is a very cheerful and Summery opening. Although quite basic, and in some ways linear, Mandarina Duck is enjoyable and well-priced. The heart of honeysuckle, jasmine and gardenia was indeed sweet and in some ways predictable, yet I do unashamedly admit that I enjoy this fragrance despite it being generic and cheap. The soft musky drydown was a wonderful way to conclude this fragrance in my opinion. Because Mandarina Duck is light, inoffensive, generally safe and basic, I must recommend this fragrance for young girls that are only just starting out in the perfume world. Young adolescents are the first people that come to mind when I smell this scent.

Summer in a bottle type of scent, I use it as a back-up dupe for the more expensive Carner Sal Y Limon which I absolutely love. They are not complete dupes though, MD smells like a very ripe grapefruit juice and not so lemony as Carner (even though there is no grapefruit according to the scents, must be the lemon plus freesia). I usually don't like pepper but I can barely smell it in this one, I only get fresh citruses with a bit of sweetness. Love the bottle too, will be keeping it in my permanent collection as it's a fragrance I reach for in summer days when I can't be bothered to think too much about what to wear. It goes perfectly with linen clothes or a cotton dress, it's so sunny that it will brighten your mood instantly.

Citrus scent, indeed almost herbaceous, when you spray it you feel a strong note of bergamot; after a while the floral component takes over, in particular my nose feels the note of gardenia. It is a citrus/ herbaceous fragrance, not sweet but dry, I would say fresh and essential, in fact I would see it well as a unisex scent. Given the value for money I see it as a good choice for the spring/summer period. A mention to the bottle all yellow, essential but pretty, makes a lot of joy :-)

Launched by a luggage designer, I was skeptical at first. Then, I found out Mandarina Duck is very fresh. Opened with a burst of citrus followed straight away with mellow pepper, it feels like I am a yellow duck, swimming in a cool pond under glaring sunlight. Later, jasmine appeared, still accompanied by citrus. Now, I think I am showered with a cold Earl Grey tea. Thus, in short, I have no words except that this is light, fresh scent perfect for summer.

very glad to have this sunny fragrance. it reminds me of summer days so I wear it in gloomy days
