Mandarin Coriander
In short: Mandarin Coriander is a citrus aromatic luxury soy candle composed by master perfumer Bernhard Winkler. It smells of sparkling mandarin and grapefruit with a spicy coriander twist, a heart of jasmine and cedarwood, and a soft finish of oakmoss, musk and vanilla. Energizing citrus with real depth. 14oz, about 80 hours of burn time, hand-poured in small batches in Texas. $58.
Best for: citrus lovers who want something more sophisticated than a simple orange scent. Lovely in kitchens, home offices and entryways; ideal for daytime, year-round.
Composed by Bernhard Winkler, Master Perfumer with six decades of fragrance, formerly of Symrise and Firmenich. Mandarin Coriander is structured like a perfume, not a candle: a true note pyramid that unfolds as it burns, for people who read the notes before the name.
Fragrance Family: Citrus Aromatic
Top: Grapefruit, Davana, Mandarin
Mid: Jasmine, Cedarwood, Coriander
Dry: Musk, Vanilla, Oakmoss
A lively medley of fruits and aromatics, Mandarin Coriander starts its scented journey with juicy Mandarin and sparkling Grapefruit, which bring an immediate brightness, enriched by the sweet, herbal nuances of Davana, capturing a unique and energetic opening.
Spicy Coriander then shifts the composition in a more unexpected direction, adding aromatic complexity that complements the opulence of Jasmine. The heart further grounds itself with dry Cedarwood that creates a sophisticated balance between spice and floralcy.
In its finale, the fragrance introduces a background of delicate Vanilla and Musk, deepened with forest-like Oakmoss. This trio makes for a gentle, comforting foundation—softening the citrus sparkle with a woody finish.
Radiant and fresh, Mandarin Coriander is a spirited fragrance with an undercurrent of warmth that lingers beautifully, layer after layer.
