What Clementine Is

The clementine is a cross between a mandarin and a sweet orange, with thin, fragrant peel and very little bitterness. Perfumers use it in the top for a juicy, friendly citrus sweetness that is softer than grapefruit or lemon.

Among the perfumes people discuss in the communities Scendira tracks, Giorgio Armani Idole d'Armani, Parfum d'Empire Azemour Les Orangers and Dedcool Red Dakota each list clementine. All three list clementine at the top, Idole d'Armani with ginger and pear, Azemour Les Orangers with orange zest and Red Dakota with gardenia.
