Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sicily EDP
A legendary, much-missed gem that evokes sophisticated Italian glamour with its unique blend of creamy banana, sparkling aldehydes, and luxurious soapiness. Loved by many, but its striking, sometimes 'old-school' character means it's not for everyone.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Exotic Island EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Sicilly - a citrus fragrance led by Sicilian Bergamot, with floral depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sicily

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its clean, elegant, and sophisticated profile makes it suitable for date nights and formal occasions, while a softer application can work for casual wear. The presence of aldehydes and a strong scent profile may be too assertive for some office environments, and it's certainly not a sport scent.

Exotic Island

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
