New Perris Monte Carlo Mandarino di Sicilia

Mandarino di Sicilia is a fresh, citrus, floral scent created for Men and Women in 2018 by perfumer Gian Luca Perris.

Review

This scent is supremely refreshing and citrusy. It is almost as if you have freshly peeled an orange and the juices have burst onto your skin.Over time, the floral nuances mellow the tart qualities of the citrus, and a subtle, warm base creates a lasting smoothness. This scent is safe for the office, but its brightness makes it best suited for informal, casual, fun occasions. It is comparable to Xerjoff’s Renaissance, and many of Tom Ford’s citrus scents. 

Inspiration

Extracting oils from each phase of the life of a Mandarin Orange – flower to unripe fruit to ripe fruit – Mandarino di Sicilia is a unique experience, created in layers. The scent that comes to life on the skin is that of freshly peeled citruses on a beautiful, sunny Sicilian day.

Notes

Green and Yellow Mandarin are blended with Bitter Orange and the green, citrus quality of Petitgrain. A floral heart of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Geranium subdues the tartness while keeping the sweeter nuances thriving. A subtle, warm base of Cedarwood, Amber, and Musk compliments the softer notes and keeps everything lasting.
