Perfume of Desires by Alex Lee

LabSolue presents its olfactory celebration of Tangerine.

Originally from China, it made its way to the Mediterranean, becoming a symbol of good luck in the fulfillment of desires. Italian Tangerine's zesty qualities allow for a freshness that is joyful and deep, preserved by a process of cold pressing the vivid skin of the fruit. Taste the citrus, juicy scent, nuanced with fresh and sweet tones. A perfume full of light, sweet and vibrant. Awaken the child within you. Rediscover the pleasure of savoring simple things, the taste of play, the amazement of discovery, the enthusiasm of childhood. A scented wish, to dream with your nose open.

An Essence composed of Italian Tangerine Essential Oil, blending with the addictive warmth of pure Vanilla.

Curiosity: the Mandarin plant (Citrus Reticulata or Citrus Nobilis) is native to China, where there is evidence of its cultivation as early as 1600 BC, while it was introduced into the Mediterranean area in the Middle Ages. It owes its name to the characteristic orange colour, which recalls the particular imperial robes worn in ancient times by Chinese political officials; the term in fact derives from the Portuguese mandarim and was coined in the 17th century by Portuguese travelers precisely to designate these officials. Together with Cedar Fruit (Citrus Medica) and Pomelo (Citrus Maxima), it is one of the three "original citrus fruits", from which all the species known today derive through subsequent crossings and hybridizations. In aromatherapy it is known to induce serenity and joy, with a tranquilizing and beneficial effect on morale and balance.
