Acqua di Parma Mandarino di Sicilia is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024, created by François Demachy. Mandarino di Sicilia opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Blood Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Petitgrain and Spearmint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Patchouli. Acqua di Parma's Mandarino di Sicilia carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's proper divisive: some reckon it's a zesty, minty marvel, a true celebration of Sicilian citrus. Others? They're getting cleaning products, sour peels, or even a headache-inducing coriander pong. You'll either love it or think it's utterly minging.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, vibrant citrus and green accords, paired with moderate longevity and projection, make it perfect for casual wear, especially in warm weather. While some find it too sharp for the office, its clean nature generally suits daytime settings, though typically not formal ones due to its light, summery character.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Spearmint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine peeling a juicy mandarin under the scorching Sicilian sun, with a fresh blast of spearmint cutting through the zest. It's a vibrant, almost tart citrus explosion, grounded by an earthy patchouli and subtle woody musk. The initial brightness mellows into a surprisingly green and aromatic drydown, with the petitgrain adding a herbal edge.
