Mandarino di Sicilia

“Moderate longevity but good projection. Very natural Mandarine with some spearmint that unfortunately doesn’t last that long as usual but the whole composition is very loud for a couple of hours and then calms down for a decent 4-5 hours of performance. I get some neroli and a lot of petigraine. The drydown still has this orange mandarine peel and powdery remains. 7.5/10Nevermind, the mint lasts..”

“Unfortunately I really dislike the opening on this one. Nice dry down, but becomes to similar to Arancia La Spugnatura which I already own, as well as Manarino Di Amalfi which I also own. But that opening, just totally off-putting. I thought I would love this, the notes sound right up my street, but the opening ruined it for me. It was almost urine-like on my skin, something very strange about it which overpowers the mint. Made me very disappointed because I thought it would be an instant buy.”

“l love this fragrance, it captures the very realistic smell of a mandarin being peeled, with bursts of mint, spice, and overall freshness. Despite being a fruit fragrance, it stays wearable and isn’t overly sweet like other fruity scents. It has a powerful opening and strong initial projection, but the longevity is short. It is what it is with those summery, citric EDTs, especially from ADP.”
