Guerlain Mandarine Basilic Forte
GUERLAIN Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Forte Eau de Parfum
The sun ripens Italian mandarins, and their juicy, tangy-sweet scent comes alive in this vibrant and natural unisex fragrance. The green nuance of basil and warm vanilla complement the fruity, sun-drenched journey, culminating in soft woody notes.
Who it suits
Mandarine Basilic Forte is the perfect choice for those who love fruity and citrusy scents but also crave warmth and subtle woodiness. Its unisex nature makes it suitable for both women and men looking for an energetic, sunny, and cheerful fragrance for everyday wear and holidays.
When to use it
This fresh yet rich Eau de Parfum is perfect for sunny spring and summer days – it works equally well as a morning pick-me-up or a relaxed afternoon companion. It's ideal for beach days, garden parties, and holidays when you want to carry the joy of sun-ripened fruits with you.
What it smells like
The opening evokes freshly picked, sun-sweetened Italian mandarins, whose tanginess sparkles joyfully. The green and spicy nuance of basil and the juicy depth of blackcurrant make the opening fresh and nuanced. The heart blooms with rose marinated in sweet vanilla and the gentle floral notes of orange blossom. At the base, the creamy softness of sandalwood and the warm woodiness of cedar linger on the skin for a long time, like the gentle rays of the evening sun.

Frequently asked questions
Is the fragrance guaranteed authentic?
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?
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 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 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?
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?
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?
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.
What is the delivery time?
