Mandarino di Sicilia, by Acqua Di Parma, is built around sun-kissed citrus in the top notes, a minty freshness in the heart, and a woody base. Bergamot, mandarin and blood orange dominate the opening.
Bergamot, fruity, sweet and fresh, mandarin, sparkling, sun-kissed, luminous, tonic and tangy, and blood orange, fruity, evoking raspberry, cherry and orange blossom, come together in the top notes: bergamot and blood orange share the fruit descriptor, while mandarin shares no descriptor with them.
Petitgrain, fresh, green and sparkling, sits alongside mint, fresh and minty, in the heart; freshness brings the two together, while greenness belongs to petitgrain alone.
Musk, woody, animalic, warm, enveloping, sensual and powdery, patchouli, earthy, damp, camphoraceous, evoking wine cork and ripe apple, and cedar, woody, evoking pencil shavings, resin and smoke, share the base; wood links musk to cedar, while patchouli shares no descriptor with them.
