Mandarin Carnival

Cheeky, tart and fresh mandarin with delicious bitter-sweet-creamy shades. I love it.

mandarin room freshner ....as often with this brand, a perfume disaster.

Mandarin Carnival by The Merchant of Venice is my favourite from this brand thus far. This is a stunning crisp, slightly sweet citrus fragrance that would be perfect for wear during Spring and Summer. The mandarin orange accord is the most dominant note in this composition, followed by hints of almond, orange blossom, peach, cashmere wood, and clean white musk. Although this is nothing unique, Mandarin Carnival is a wonderful fragrance and is something I would personally wear during the warmer months. Some reviewers have noted Mandarin Carnival's similarity to Mandarino di Amalfi by Tom Ford. Personally, I find Mandarino di Amalfi to be a lot richer in regards to the citrusy and green mandarin orange and orange blossom accords, whereas Mandarin Carnival is a lot sweeter and fresher on the skin. This fragrance unfortunately doesn't have great longevity, which is a fault of the brand itself. The projection is also very light, sitting quite intimately on the skin. In addition to the sweet, somewhat crisp mandarin orange, peach and orange blossom accords, the cashmere wood and bitter almond notes provide a smooth, almost powdery dimension to the scent's drydown. This is a crowd pleasing fragrance and one that both men and women will enjoy wearing, although it does admittedly lean a bit more to the feminine side. Had Mandarin Carnival been a lot cheaper, I may have considered adding this fragrance to my collection. I do enjoy a decent mandarin orange or orange blossom fragrance, so it was not a surprise that I did enjoy Mandarin Carnival. I have a lot of respect for the brand The Merchant of Venice, but as a niche fragrance house, I wish that their longevity and sillage was much better in terms of quality.

This is too sour and bitter for me to take :( guess I should combine it with some extremely sweet scent to balance.

Mandarine carnival I tested last night Firstly it’s unisex but i prefer smell it on women and I bought it for my girlfriend Love it very fresh and gorgeous You should smell it its like you are entering to Mandarin garden Many mandarin and peach that mix well together but the mandarin is more I smell little musk here too but lovable very feminine perfume in my eyes After 1 hours the roses it comes but very soft and nice also you still smell of mandarin in the background love But it has some flaw (wrong) with it One problem is the projection so weak may be if you over spray it you just get 2 hour projection and other thing is longevity thst is about 2 hour or maybe 3 hour So sad :( But the smell and balances so great but about performance no nothing sadly My Rate Is : Scent : 8/10 Performance: 1/10 Balance : 8/10 Projection: 2/10 Longevity: 2/10 Value of money : 5/10 Overall: 4.3/10 (Thumbs up) ———————————————— كارنيوال نارنگي به به چي بگم من از اين بوي خوب ياد باغ هاي شمال ميافتم كه وقتي توي باغ نارنگي وارد ميشين يا يه بشقاب پر نارنگي تازه جلوتون ميزارن به به ميوه شيرين و بوي خوب و بدرد بخور تابستان اما خوب اين عطر كاملا زنانه و دخترانه هست اما خوب ايراداتي هم داره كنار بوي خيلي خيلي خيلي خوب نارنگيش اولين ايرادش ساختار بد اين عطره اصلا ماندگاري نداره اگر ٥ يا ٨ اسپري كنيد شايد ٣ تا ٤ ساعت ماندگاري بگيرين پخش بو در حالت ٦ اسپري سنگين فقط ٢ ساعت خواهد بود و با قيمتي كه داره شايد اصلا به صرفه نباشه اما بوي خوبي داره مخصوصا براي خانم هاي قوي اميدوارم كه اوقات خوبي داشته باشيد
