Mandarino di Sicilia

Mandarino di Sicilia by Perris Monte Carlo, composed by Gian Luca Perris and released in 2018, is a study of mandarin in its different forms. Citrus is the description everyone agrees on; three quarters also find it floral, half green, and a quarter each woody, musky or ambery.

Green mandarin, yellow mandarin and bitter orange open it with a juicy, sweet-and-bitter citrus that is rounder than lemon or bergamot. Petitgrain and petitgrain Paraguay, distilled from the leaves and twigs of the orange tree, add a green, slightly bitter, woody freshness that gives the scent its structure. Orange blossom and jasmine in the heart bring a soft, honeyed white-flower warmth, with geranium adding a leafy, rosy edge. The base is light: cedar for a dry wood, amber for a gentle warmth and musk to make the citrus last.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. The profile suggests summer and daytime, and it suits people who want a citrus that stays true to the fruit from start to finish rather than turning sweet or woody.
