Perris Monte Carlo

Mandarino di Sicilia

Mandarino di Sicilia by Perris Monte Carlo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, bitter orange and petitgrain, moves into jasmine, geranium and orange blossom and dries down to cedarwood, amber and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.

Heart

Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.

Dry-down

Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
