Mandarina Duck Black & White: A Contrasting Fougère in Black-and-White Style

In 2016, the Italian brand Mandarina Duck introduced Black & White, a fresh, contrasting eau de toilette for men that immediately caught the attention of style enthusiasts.

Released as part of a limited-edition collection in a black-and-white palette, the fragrance reflects the brand’s philosophy: minimalism, dynamism, and impeccable taste.

The scent belongs to the fougère and woody fragrance families, with its character built around a play of opposites—refreshing greenery and warm spice.

It is an ideal choice for confident men who appreciate understated elegance. Learn more about the brand on its official website: voronoicollection.com.

Fragrance Pyramid and Development

The top notes greet you with a juicy citrus accord and green violet leaf—a sparkling, invigorating opening.

At the heart, soft orange blossom (neroli) unfolds in a duet with sweetly spicy tonka bean. The base features a warm woody accord, lending longevity and sophistication.

Note groups: citrus, green, woody.

Wear It with Pleasure: Sillage and Application

Black & White has a moderate sillage—it leaves a pleasant trail without becoming overwhelming. For the skin, 1–2 sprays are recommended; for clothing, use 2–3 sprays.

The fragrance is perfect for everyday wear, especially during the spring and summer months.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

How beautifully it develops on my skin, truly a versatile fragrance. Don't be scared by its bright and sharp opening, it later becomes very pleasant and stylish. There's a light powdery note, as if from citrus. I really like it 😊

The scent is, of course, youthful, but my father uses it with pleasure. He likes it, says he smells mandarins. Though, to be honest, there's only a slight hint of mandarins here, and even then, it's more like the peel, seasoned with violet powder. I can't say it's a masterpiece, but overall it's quite nice ))))
4/5

The fragrance combines green violet leaf and citrus notes, as well as sweetish and slightly spicy tonka beans with woody accents. Overall, it's a rather interesting fougère. I think it would be great for a stylish young man )
