Didn't love Extrait de Songe, but the notes of this one are much more appealing to me. Me too! Didn't love Extrait de Songe, but the notes of this one are much more appealing to me.

I am a big fan of Olivia Giacobetti perfumes. L'Artisan does such nice bottles for its summer editions. Ooooh I can't wait to try the Mandarine! I am a big fan of Olivia Giacobetti perfumes.

I have to say that I've been having problems of a sinoid (is there such a word?...anyway, you can see why I was so intruigued by the Happy nasal spray yesterday!) nature, so it may be that others will smell more and that it doesn't fade quite as quickly as it seemed to me. But I really couldn't detect ~anything~ after half an hour. Alas, R, it was a spray – one of those nice ones First-in-fragrance send out.

Not that *I'd* mind the frangipani, mind you! Hard to believe it is very strong in Mandarine — the summer scents are usually very transparent. Not that *I'd* mind the frangipani, mind you!

I am going to remain hopeful, although this isn't the first mention of "fleeting" that I've seen. I don't mind either, unless it is gone in less than 30 minutes.

I am determined to hold out hope though. Any chance you were applying from a fragrance vial instead of a spray? Drat!! I am determined to hold out hope though.

I would totally be on board with L'Artisan Mandarine were it not for that one pesky note! What is frangipani doing in my summer citrus scent?

But still, I don't mind reapplying, so maybe, I'd still fall for it. It sounds lovely. Oh, too bad it is a short pleasure. But still, I don't mind reapplying, so maybe, I'd still fall for it.

I tested it along with Carthusia Mediterraneo and it wasn't as as powerfully citrussy as the the Carthusia, and also didn't last anything like as long. Even by l'Artisan standards, this was a short pleasure! I found the Mandarine to be tart and juicy at first, then nicely woody – then gone.
