## Essence
Mandarin & Green Tea is a clean citrus-tea Eau de Parfum that behaves like a luxury cologne. Mandarin, grapefruit, orange, bergamot, green tea, rose, and musk form a tart, bright, uncomplicated summer freshener.

## Scent Profile
The opening is all citrus: juicy mandarin and grapefruit, rounded orange, and fresh bergamot. The mandarin is tart and green rather than candied.

Green tea runs quietly under the citrus, cooling the scent and giving an iced-tea feel. Rose appears faintly after the citrus fades, and musk keeps the drydown clean and transparent. The development is simple: citrus-tea brightness softening into rosy clean musk.

## Performance
Performance is short. Expect a few hours, low sillage, and a quick move toward skin scent. Clothing and generous sprays help, but reapplication is part of the experience.

## Wearing Context
This is for spring, summer, hot weather, vacation, office, post-shower wear, and casual daytime. It is unisex, clean, and inoffensive. It is not built for cold weather, evening presence, or long projection.

## Comparisons & DNA
Acca Kappa Green Mandarin is the house sibling, sharing a citrus-musk idea with similarly brief wear. The wider family is Mediterranean citrus cologne, with Mandarin & Green Tea distinguished by tart mandarin and a gentle tea heart.

## Reception
Wearers tend to like the smell and question the value. Praise goes to the authentic tart citrus and easy feel-good freshness. Criticism focuses on weak longevity and low projection. It is a safe scent profile, but not a safe performance blind buy.

## Versions & Reformulation
It is a single 2019 composition with no known reformulation. The scent also appears across matching body-care products. Minor official variation in citrus wording does not indicate a separate version.

## Acquisition Notes
Available in 15 ml, 50 ml, and 100 ml formats, sometimes in gift sets. Smaller sizes make sense because reapplication is likely. Buy through Acca Kappa or established grooming and department stockists.
