[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was super excited to try this perfume out it dose say that it can be for a man or woman, to me it has a citrusy sweet smell my husband agrees with me that this is more geared towards woman. But I could see it being both for the right people. I love the bottle it’s simple and elegant and I do this this is priced well. The scent last all day and very little goes a long ways. The sprayer on the bottle is perfect it’s a light spritz. I lived all the qualities of this product from the packaging down to the longevity of the scent. This can be a day time or night time perfume. I highly recommend I was very satisfied and got many compliments.

A beautiful and fresh scent for warmer days
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really love this fruity perfume. It’s fresh and citrusy at first, then gets a little warmer and sweeter as it sits on my skin. The hint of basil makes it feels extra fresh. Such an easy and happy scent to wear daily, especially sunny days. And the bottle is just gorgeous.

Really enjoyed this one
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been really enjoying Mandarin Basilic Forte. It's fresh and citrusy, but not in a way that feels too sharp or cleaning-product-like. The mandarin is the first thing I notice, and has that juicy, slightly sweet citrus smell that makes the fragrance feel really uplifting. The basil adds a nice green touch and keeps it from being too sweet.
It's one of those perfumes I can easily wear without having to think about it. It feels especially nice on a warm day and works well for everyday wear. After a while, it settles down into something softer and a little warmer, but the citrus is still there.
My only issue is that I wish it lasted longer on my skin. I get a few hours, but I would probably reapply if I wanted to smell it throughout the day.
Overall, I really like it. It's fresh, cheerful and easy to wear without feeling boring. Definitely one I'd consider buying again.

A little too strong- gave me a headache
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Gorgeous packaging and looks beautiful set out and displayed. Unfortunately I am sensitive to scents and this is slightly strong and a more mature feminine smell. I prefer lighter scents or more masculine undertones

Fresh Spring scent - not my kind of scent though
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The packaging is so very pretty and it sprays on so well. I wanted to love the scent based on the description but sadly, it did not smell good to me. Just not my kind of scent. The scent is very spring vibes, if you're looking for something fresh with floral notes. Not for me though!

Lovely fresh citrus
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First of all the bottle is really cute. I like the honeycomb detailing at the top. The perfume is marketed for women but I think its more unisex. I have a few unisex perfumes in my collection but nothing like this
one, so I'm happy to have it as a unique addition to my collection.
In the opening I get the notes of the fresh citrus mandarin and the basal brings out a kind of
earthiness to it. I've been wearing it and I do enjoy it, especially when I want a perfume that is not leaning sweet in any way.
I think this is a good perfume for anyone that likes a fruit fresh citrus perfume that isn't sweet!
l don't think it's an overpowering scent, I've only spritzed myself once or twice though. The autonomizer on the perfume is very nice as well provided a good amount.
The dry down is very nice, it leaves a soft woody aroma.
The more you spray I think the better the projection and longevity will be but it's not classified as an extremely intense scent here.
Guerlain's website rates it's intensity 2/4 and I can agree with that.

Give it time, the scent will grow on you!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] When I first used this, I did not like the scent at all. I sat with it for a bit and started to get little whiffs of it as I moved about my day. I could smell the mandarin with a hint of basil and sandalwood. It reminded me of walking around in the fresh air of Scotland, moving from shop to shop. It makes me feel fresh and lively but it’s also comforting. It grew on me and now I use it daily. The scent is more unique compared to the perfume I usually buy but I would recommend it and look forward to trying other scents from Guerlain!

Light and fresh!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This perfume is so fresh and lovely. It is citrusy, juicy, light and elegant. The mandarin orange really comes through well upfront. It’s got a good wear time and the smell evolves well. I love the sustainable refillable bottle, it’s very pretty. I also appreciate that the ingredients are natural. It’s a great scent to layer with.

Citrusy
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Has a very citrusy profile. The bottle is made of glass with sort of like a honeycomb detailing around the bottle. Sprays a good amount. Able to wear during the daytime and night time. The initial spritz give you a strong scent but as you wear it, the scent does not last long. Reapplying is a must if you still want to smell good.

The bottle is really pretty. Upon opening the product and trying it, the scent is terrible!

I will Def not be wearing it, and if I could return it, I would.
