Our line of fine perfumery fragrances is the result of painstaking research, selection, and composition since 1988. The ongoing selection of raw materials and constant laboratory testing have always allowed us to enrich the olfactory characteristics of our compositions.
Stabilized natural essential oil. PS: Product also available as a pure essential oil.
Our exclusive 13.5 ml (0.46 fl. oz.) bottle in special transparent neutral glass enhances the chromatic properties of the various oils: each is visible in its natural color, completely unique like the scent it releases. Each bottle is equipped with a special heat-shrinkable transparent polymer seal to guarantee (in compliance with regulations) its tamper-proof nature.
Extraction
Mandarin essential oil is obtained by cold-pressing the fresh peel of the unripe fruit and appears as a clear, deep green liquid with a distinctive, fresh, citrusy, almost floral scent. It blends well with all citrus oils (particularly neroli) as well as spicy oils such as cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.
Property
Mandarin essential oil, non-toxic and non-irritating, is an effective remedy for acne and oily skin. However, when applying it to the skin, avoid sunlight, as it is mildly phototoxic. In the past, this essential oil was also used to combat insomnia and nervous tension.
Uses
Mandarin essential oil is commonly used as a fragrance component in cosmetics, perfumery and soap making as well as (in pure form) as a flavouring agent in sweets, soft drinks and liqueurs.
Botany
Native to southern China and brought to Europe in 1805, the mandarin is now grown primarily in Italy, Spain, Algeria, and Brazil. It is a small evergreen tree with glossy leaves, fragrant flowers, and plump fruit. Its name comes from the fact that its fruit was traditionally given to ancient officials of imperial China, known as "Mandarins."
