MANDARIN ESSENTIAL OIL - Australia
Mandarin Essential Oil
Sweet · Citrus · Soft
Citrus reticulata
Cold pressed from the peel of Australian-grown mandarins from Wakka Wakka Country, Mandarin Essential Oil captures the familiar sweetness and brightness of freshly peeled fruit.
Softer and rounder than many citrus oils, Mandarin opens with a juicy, sweet-tart freshness before revealing delicate green and floral nuances. Its gentle character makes it beautifully versatile, equally at home in a diffuser, body blend or botanical perfume.
As a top note, Mandarin brings immediate luminosity to a composition, lifting deeper woods, resins and spices while adding a soft sweetness to florals.
A botanical of light, sweetness and simple joy.

Botanical Notes
Mandarin — Citrus reticulata
A small evergreen citrus tree prized for its fragrant fruit and highly aromatic peel.
Unlike essential oils obtained through steam distillation, Mandarin Essential Oil is cold pressed from the outer peel, capturing the volatile aromatic compounds held within its tiny oil glands.
The result is a beautifully expressive citrus oil, fresh and juicy at first, becoming softer, sweeter and subtly floral as the aroma settles.

Mandarin is especially beautiful when you want to soften a composition. It gives woods and resins a little light, while bringing warmth and sweetness to florals without overpowering them.
The Ritual
Add a few drops to a diffuser to fill the room with the soft, familiar scent of freshly peeled mandarin.
For body or massage use, dilute appropriately in a carrier oil before applying to the skin.
In botanical perfumery, Mandarin makes a beautiful opening note but is naturally fleeting. Pairing it with woods, resins or earthy base notes helps anchor its delicate citrus character.
Try Mandarin + Cardamom + Sandalwood for something warm and softly spiced, or Mandarin + Neroli + Vetiver for a fresh citrus composition with greater depth.
