White Tea Mandarin Blossom

Elizabeth Arden's White Tea Mandarin Blossom is a minimalist, ultra-clean fragrance that leans toward a soft, fresh, green citrus profile with delicate floral and woody undertones. The initial burst is bright and citrusy—mandarin, bergamot, and lemon—giving a gentle, peel-like aroma rather than a juicy or tart zing. It unfolds into a lightly blooming white floral and green tea base, stabilized by cedar, musk, and ambroxan, resulting in a delicate, skin-hugging scent that feels refreshing and inoffensive. The dry down is simple and airy, often described as reminiscent of a clean, modern spa or a sunlit indoor forest setting—calm, timeless, and quietly elegant. It performs best during spring and summer, particularly for daytime wear, where its subtle presence adds a touch of clarity without overwhelming. While the longevity is moderate, it lingers enough to be noticeable throughout the day, especially on fabric. The scent is very chameleon-like—its character changes subtly depending on skin chemistry, climate, and application, often feeling warmer and more floral in heat. Many find it to be a refined and reassuring alternative to the original White Tea, offering a more rounded, greenish citrus presence with a softer floral base.
