Mandarin Green

🌿 Introduction
Mandarin Green Essential Oil is a bright, juicy, and youthful citrus essence distilled from the unripe peels of Citrus reticulata . Among all mandarin varieties, the green (early-harvest) type is the most vibrant — capturing the lively, tangy freshness of just-picked fruit balanced with subtle floral sweetness.
Its scent is light, sparkling, and uplifting , with green herbal undertones that add a natural crispness to perfumes and body care.
In aromatherapy, Green Mandarin embodies joy, creativity, and renewal , making it one of the most cheerful and mood-brightening citrus oils.
At Herbsmetics, Mandarin Green Oil is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests explore how different citrus maturities (green, red, yellow) influence the character and energy of natural fragrances.
