I Am Sicily · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Eau de Parfum

I Am Sicily Mandorlo di Sicilia Eau de Parfum is a unisex scent that moves from a fresh, floral start to a powdery, creamy and sweet gourmand finish. It has moderate longevity and sillage. No single season dominates: votes are spread almost evenly across autumn, spring, winter and summer. Most voters suggest it for leisure and business wear. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it modern. It opens with Calabrian bergamot, orange and star anise, with almond adding a sweet note. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine and peach bring a soft floral and fruity touch. The base of vanilla, white musk, cedar and tolu balm dries down creamy, powdery and warm. Acqua di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia and Jean Couturier Vanilla Exotica have a close profile.
