What does Mandarino di Sicilia smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable to those close by without filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daytime, leisure and office wear. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level.

It opens with bitter orange, mandarin orange, Italian green mandarin orange and Paraguayan petigrain, a sharp, bright citrus. In the heart, orange blossom, jasmine and geranium soften that freshness with flowers. Musk, cedarwood and amber form a warm, woody base. Le Labo Bergamote 22 and Jeanne en Provence Néroli Intense have a close profile.
