Green Mandarin

Green Mandarin, also known as Citrus reticulata, is the unripe fruit of the mandarin orange tree. This essential oil is extracted mainly through cold pressing the peel of the young green fruit, which provides a vibrant, juicy, and refreshingly sweet aroma distinctly tangier and sharper than that of its fully ripened counterpart.

The scent profile of Green Mandarin is complex, featuring a lively mix of citrus notes which are zesty and slightly bitter, contrasted by sweet, floral undertones. These nuances make it invigorating yet soothing. The top notes burst with the freshness of ripe citrus, introducing a crisp, green, and slightly herbaceous twist that differentiates it from the sweeter, more floral red mandarin. This makes Green Mandarin particularly unique in its ability to uplift and energize without overwhelming the senses. Its aroma is often described as clean, refreshing, and youthful, evoking the feeling of a crisp spring morning.

Green Mandarin oil is well-regarded in aromatherapy for boosting mood and reducing feelings of anxiety or sadness. It blends well with other citrus oils, as well as floral and woody scents, making it versatile in both perfumery and holistic practices.
