History of Mandarin

This small, evergreen, glossy tree has fragrant white flowers and an orange fruit. Native to China, the mandarin orange owes its name to the Chinese mandarins who traditionally received this fruit as a gift.
Depending on the production period and the extractor used, the essential oil can be green, yellow or red. If you have the possibility, choose the green mandarin which is distinguished by its particularly subtle olfactory notes.

Mandarin provides a widely used essence because its relaxing and calming action as well as its always appreciated scent place it at the top of anti-stress essential oils.
