Mandarin Orchid was presented in 2008, as a light and optimistic fragrance which opens with sweet accords of orange, pineapple and guava. A heart hides floral nuances, such as orchid, mandarin blossom and fresh lily of the valley, whereas base notes are composed of white ginger, musk and mahogany. This perfume can be found as 30 ml EDT, with accompanying body care products: Mandarin Orchid Body Spray, Shower Gel and Body Lotion.

love love love it. but yeah, it has poor lasting power. the smell is very fresh and perfect for tired hot morning day. i'm so addicted to it..
Due to its weak lasting power, I used it as a body splash two summers ago.
It was a delicios zesty-fruity scent, uplifting, optimistic and with touch of elegance. Good one!
i really like this mandarin orchid. it has warm scent yet refreshing.. the musk scent mixed with the floral n fruity scent is just so nice.. it is just not long-lasting..maybe that's why body shop discontinue it
Mandarin Orange is a great fragrance with a small price tag.
I used the EdT and the body splash all the time last summer.
It smelled like a sweet but fresh fruit explosion.
Yum!
love it so muchhh! it's so juicy..
i love to wear it on summer, but my bottle is almost finishing... please body shop, make it come back!
p.s. it's not a floral, it's floral fruity gourmand!
definitely floral fruity.. and horribly sweet.. ok for a cake, but too cakey for a perfume..
i really wish TBS would bring this back! I used a whole bottle of this, and would love to have another...Its such a bright a shiny smell. Very sunny. You have to smell it to understand because it neither smells like orchids nor mandarin, funny :)
This is the kind of perfume I would imagine smelling from teenage girls on summer holiday. It gives the impression of fresh, sporty, yet feminine.
Honestly, I am not expecting citrussy fragrances like this one to last long either on my skin or paper, so i tried it on the latter.
Starting with fresh yuzu/tangerine, not very sharp, but still, rather sharp. after a while, the sharpness is gone, but the citrussy smell is still there, now accompanied with soft soft flower, but i coulnd not find the lily. And then i left the paper on my desk and forgot about it...until the next day i work on my desk again. to my surprise, it lasts the whole night! This time, it is not citrussy anymore, but just lovely soft flowers.
Will definitely try it on my skin when i got the chance to visit the shop :)
Its aroma is sooo nice but unfortunately it goes away from your skin, like the other perfume i used "Cassis Rose". They are not long lasting. The Body Shop should make better perfumes.
it is my first citrus fragrance and i found it is a fragrance which can energize me during the summer. however, like guest_poshywoo said, it doesnt have any last power! it disappears soon after i sprayed on it....like her, luckily, i bought it on sale when i travelled aboard
I love fresh citrus scents like in D&G light blue for women. I'm disappointed because this perfume doesn't have a lasting power. At first, I love the sweet tangerine top notes but a minute later the citrusy vibe disappeared. All i got is a uber soft orchid petals that will be gone after 30 minutes. Thank god I only bought a small bottle of this on SALE.
I have tried it today and it's lovely. Very fresh, kind of typical for TBS fragrances. What is great for me that for once gigner did not spoil the fragrance for me. I cant stand it usually, here you almost dont feel it.
I've been recently pretty much into citrusy fragrances, they are an excellent source of energy and good mood. So I was keen to test this new TBS range; it's a soft and subtle orangey one with loads of happy vibes and summery feelings. I could detect only a hint of flowery notes that lingered somehow hidden in the composition, intertwined with dominant tangerine and orange. Unfortunately it didn't last very long when I tried it, the scent disappeared before it reached its maturity (i.e. middle and base notes). That quality made me not to purchase it as I don't want to spend money on a fragrance that vanishes in the air in a matter of minutes!
mmmmm, yum! I had to have this on first sniff. It's a light citrus. I smell mostly mandarins and tangerine. It's very soft though and doesn't last as long as I would like. I don't even think layering would help. But I love having it for short fresh bursts of citrus. The SA said it smelled like Happy, but it's much lighter and not as floral imo. I'm so covered up being winter time, maybe in the warmer months this will stick around. Fingers crossed!
Mmm sounds so delicious! i am going to try this one today.
I'll give feed back when i do.
