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.

About

Acqua di Sicilia opens with a vibrant, sparkling burst of sun-drenched citruses - think juicy lemon, bergamot, and tangerine, brightened by neroli's floral touch and a hint of exotic mango. This lively start mellows into an aromatic heart where herbaceous rosemary and lavender meet the subtle warmth of clove and petitgrain. The journey concludes on a clean, grounded base of green cypress and a touch of sweet benzoin, leaving a refined, Mediterranean-inspired trail.
