Red is probably used the most and most widely known. It is ripe sweet and intense. It is often used like tangerine and sweet orange (although I think Red Mandarin has a more syrupy effect) and is used in many children's blends, mood lifting blends, and digestive blends. It is bright and sunny and...young. Green Mandarin is one of my favorite oils and maybe slightly less common. I find it still sweet and candy like yet- well greener slightly lime like. Sweet sticky lime mandarin. I find it more grown up and subdued than Red Mandarin and it finds it's way into many of my perfumes. Yellow Mandarin is less commonly used. Again sweet and sundrenched- ripe fruit. All are wonderful. Presently I am enjoying Clementine in many of my blends. I suggest trying lots of different citrus oils in small quantities (shorter shelf life than most distilled essential oils) and keep them in a fridge. Enjoy!
