Mandarina Duck
Mandarina Duck is an Italian fashion company founded in Bologna in 1977, specialising in leather goods and travel accessories. Innovative fabrics, functionality, and vivid colours have been among its codes from the beginning. This object language later continued into fragrance.
Brand story and character
Mandarina Duck was founded in Bologna in 1977 as a company specialising in leather goods and travel accessories. From the outset, its approach combined innovative fabrics, design, functionality, and vivid colours. The practical purpose of travel goods was paired with a distinctive visual identity.
The name and signature imagery refer to the mandarin duck, known for its colourful plumage. The bird supports the brand's characteristic palette and idea of movement. In fragrance, this code appears in presentation and names but does not automatically define each composition's ingredients or genre.
The contemporary fragrance catalogue is divided into women's and men's products. It includes Life Is A Journey, Mandarina Duck Woman, For Her, Vida Loca, The Mandariners, and Mandarina Duck Black. These lines show the current structure, but the public history does not provide their complete launch chronology or authorship.
The Mandarina Duck Fragrances website operates on the AB Parfums S.P.A. platform. This signature establishes an operational connection with the site, but does not disclose the fragrance licence terms or confirm brand ownership. The legal status of the fragrance line therefore remains a separate open question.
A specialist database dates the earliest Mandarina Duck fragrance record to 2004. Since the brand history does not confirm this date, it cannot unreservedly be called the year of the first release. The founders are not named in the history, so this profile is limited to the company's established place and year of foundation, its specialism, and its current fragrance lines.
