History

For the Shiseido salons in Paris’s Palais Royal, Serge Lutens has dreamt up Mandarine-Mandarin. The fragrance reveals an Oriental trail built around a ‘black mandarin’ note. Smoky tea, spice, candied fruit and amber tell the fragrant story of the emperor’s favorite. ‘She may not be the Mandarin’s spouse, [but] she reigns in supreme harmony over the Emperor’s very heart.’… For more information: www.salons-shiseido.com.

An emperor plates filled with candied orange and black mandarin is something special for a "concubine." Lucky girl. This has relevance and you can revel in the tea while the emperor's wife toils with her tailor and wardrobe..
