But I wish the mandarin lasted more than literally about 30 seconds.

Commended to your attention, if you want long-lasting mandarin:

Mandarin, dried orange peel, smoky black tea, nutmeg and something salty (lots of people get celery or fennel). So technically "gourmand" in that it's about edible things, but in an apothecary shop way. Dark shop full of dried things hanging from the ceiling. Amber-y in the drydown but that might not be a problem if your skin's less prone to over-amping that.

I did a test for longevity and on me I can still smell faint citrus in it after wearing it overnight.
