In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Echoed Fantasy by Alkemia Perfumes is a fragrance for women. The nose behind this fragrance is Sharra Lamoureaux.

Reviews →

Zents Mandarin opens with a splash of mandarin orange, Amalfi lemon, and lime before settling into warm ginger flower. The scent stays close to the skin as cardamom and sandalwood emerge. It works best on hot summer mornings when you want a clean, refreshing lift after a shower without heavy sillage.
