Mandarin (Citrus Nobilis) is an evergreen tree. In China, the fruit of the mandarin tree is considered a traditional symbol of abundance during New Year's and is often given as a gift for good luck.

Mandarin essential oil is extracted from the peel of the fruit and has a yellow-orange color, with a sweet, strong, and refreshing citrus aroma. Its main chemical components include limonene, γ-terpinene, α/β-pinene, and β-myrcene, active ingredients that bring numerous health benefits.
