Pistachio: what it smells like and what to wear with the main note of summer 2026

Next Memory Yellow Mandarin is a 2023 eau de toilette from the Portuguese brand Next Memory.
This unisex fragrance has a vivid citrus character that combines sunlit freshness, floral softness and expressive mossy-woody depth.
The release belongs to several olfactory families at once: chypre, citrus and floral.
This combination makes Yellow Mandarin particularly appealing to those who enjoy energetic compositions with a clean opening and a more refined, elegant development.
From the very first moments, the perfume smells sparkling and joyful, creating the impression of freshly cut citrus fruits and warm, sunlit air.
Then the composition becomes softer and airier: the floral accord adds a bright, slightly honeyed transparency without overwhelming the overall scent.
As it develops, the freshness takes on a richer, more textured aspect.
The base reveals a dry green-earthy nuance with woody undertones, allowing the fragrance to maintain its presence on the skin and creating a striking contrast between the radiance of the opening and the depth of the finish.
Yellow Mandarin is ideal for those seeking more than just a light citrus fragrance—a perfume with character and a very powerful sillage.
Despite being an eau de toilette, it is presented as a noticeable composition: its scented cloud may linger around the wearer and attract attention.
As a unisex perfume, Yellow Mandarin is not limited by gender boundaries.
On women’s skin, it may smell especially sunny and polished, while on men’s skin it can feel fresh, confident and distinctly green-woody; however, the final development always depends on skin temperature and individual chemistry.
The best time to discover this fragrance is in spring, summer and early autumn, when its citrus energy unfolds most impressively.
It is suitable for walks, travel, meeting friends and any occasion when you want to add light, dynamism and confidence to your look.
Because of its very powerful sillage, Yellow Mandarin should be applied mindfully, allowing the composition time to develop before adding more sprays.
The manufacturer does not specify an exact amount for application to skin or clothing in the available information, so it is best to determine the optimal quantity gradually, taking your own perception and surroundings into account.
Next Memory is a rising star in Portuguese niche perfumery, founded in 2020.
The brand represents a new wave of luxury fragrances from sunny Portugal, focusing on bold, expressive compositions designed to create an emotional impression.
Yellow Mandarin reflects this approach well: here, a familiar citrus theme receives a richer, more composed interpretation through its floral heart, chypre mood and noticeable base.
The fragrance may appeal to fans of Mancera Roses Jasmine who enjoy bright, floral and highly projecting compositions, while Yellow Mandarin retains its own sunny, citrus signature.
If you choose fragrances by the principle “fresh, but not boring,” this release deserves attention.
It combines an invigorating opening, a soft floral development and a deep finish, making it suitable both day and evening while leaving a memorable perfumed impression.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition opens with a blend of mandarin, lemon and orange, creating a bright, juicy and sparkling opening.
Neroli and orange blossom unfold at the heart, softening and lightening the citrus freshness while adding a delicate white-floral nuance.
The base is built around oakmoss and patchouli, lending the fragrance a dry green depth, an earthy texture and a woody character.
Overall, the Yellow Mandarin note pyramid moves from sunny citrus energy to an airy floral heart and then to a distinctive chypre base.
The composition belongs to the citrus, floral and chypre fragrance families, combining freshness with a pronounced, rich dry-down.
