Carefully packed in Finland
Bright and citrusy, Guerlain Mandarine Basilic Forte gains depth from a soft, sweet heart. It is juicy and aromatic, and it stays fresh despite its sweetness.
How it smells
Mandarin orange opens with sunny, juicy citrus. Basil sets a green, leafy herb tone beside it. Cassis adds a tart berry edge. Orange blossom and honey form the warm center. Bulgarian rose rounds it out, and anise brings a delicate spice that lightens the blend. Vanilla and sandalwood make the base smooth and gentle. Flowers and citrus are fairly equal partners. On skin the tartness can ease off, letting the sweet warmth stand out.
In spring and summer it works well for both work and everyday life. Citrus and soft sweetness make this a fragrance for bright days.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
Is the fragrance guaranteed authentic?
Yes. Every fragrance Be Frsh sells is 100% authentic, original niche or designer perfume. Each sample is hand-decanted from original full-size bottles into Be Frsh's own sample packaging.
The sample does not come in the manufacturer's original retail packaging and is not an official brand sample, but the fragrance inside is the same original perfume. It is never diluted, altered or mixed.

How many sprays does a 2 ml sample give?
A 2 ml fragrance sample typically gives around 25–35 sprays. The exact number varies slightly with the spray pump, spray strength and how you use it.
In practice, a 2 ml sample is plenty for trying a fragrance over several days, in different situations and on your own skin before deciding on a full-size bottle.

How is a Be Frsh sample different from an in-store tester?
A Be Frsh sample lets you try a fragrance at your own pace, in your everyday life. In a store, a perfume is often tested quickly on a paper strip or on skin surrounded by other scents, which can leave an unclear impression.
A Be Frsh sample contains genuine original perfume decanted into a smaller spray bottle. You can see how the scent develops on your skin through the day, how it feels in different weather, and whether it truly fits your style.

What kind of packaging does the sample come in?
Samples are delivered in Be Frsh's own spray bottles and a sleek Travel Case. The packaging is designed to be practical, tidy and easy to carry.
Samples do not come in the manufacturer's original packaging but in Be Frsh's own sample packaging. The contents, however, are genuine original fragrance, hand-decanted from a full-size bottle.

Do I have a right of return?
Unopened and unused products can be returned within 14 days of receiving your order.
Opened or used fragrance samples cannot be returned for hygiene and resale reasons. Please notify us in advance by email at info@befrsh.com so we can send you detailed return instructions.

Can I give fragrance samples as a gift?
Yes. Be Frsh samples and curated discovery sets make an excellent gift for anyone who loves perfume or wants to find new favourites without committing to a full bottle.
A sample is also a great gift when you are not entirely sure of the recipient's taste. It lets them explore several niche and designer fragrances at their own pace and find the one that suits them best.

How should I store my fragrance?
Store your sample in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and large temperature changes. This keeps the fragrance at its best for as long as possible.
Keep fragrances out of reach of children and pets. Do not use perfume near open flames, do not spray it on irritated skin, and do not ingest the product.
