Cvet mandarine (tangerine blossom)

Sweet, waxy-floral, and green-citrus. Tangerine blossom smells like orange blossom's lighter, more citrusy sibling — less narcotic, more transparent, with the tangerine's specific sweetness woven into its petals.

Detaljno
Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
Steam distillation or solvent extraction of Citrus reticulata flowers. Production is very limited compared to neroli (from bitter orange blossom), as mandarin cultivation prioritizes fruit harvest. The oil composition is similar to neroli but with higher methyl anthranilate and lower indole content. Not a standard commercial product at perfumery scale.

U parfemima
Tangerine blossom is a heart note providing sweet, light citrus-florality. It bridges citrus and floral territories more gently than neroli. The methyl anthranilate component links it to mandarin peel notes, allowing smooth transitions between top and heart. Useful in citrus-floral, spring, and light-feminine compositions. Less frequent than neroli but known for transparency.
