Question

Satsuma or clementine, can your nose tell?

Whole mandarins and two peeled fruits showing their segments, on a white background

First satsumas in the school fruit box today. Can anyone tell a satsuma from a clementine by smell alone? I can't.

Mandarin

In Brazil we have many kinds of tangerina. For me the smell changes more with how ripe it is than with the name.

Tried a greenish one and a soft one at break time. Totally different. Ripeness wins.
