Not every citrus waits for full ripeness before revealing its beauty. Green Tangerine captures the fruit at the beginning of its journey, when its peel is still emerald, its aroma intensely vibrant and its freshness at its peak. It is brighter than Orange, greener than Mandarin and more playful than Bergamot. Every twist of the peel releases a burst of sparkling citrus, fresh leaves and delicate herbs, creating one of perfumery's most invigorating natural inspirations. Green Tangerine is the fragrance of possibility—fresh, lively and full of youthful energy.
