Simone Andreoli Mandorla di Noto is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Simone Andreoli. Simone Andreoli's Mandorla di Noto carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive amber. Some smell green almonds and sophisticated marzipan, others get old man aftershave or mothballs. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but could be a unique signature for the right person.

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.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

With long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, this fragrance makes its presence known, making it a bit much for a conservative office. Its unique, somewhat dark character makes it intriguing for dates and evening wear, while its complexity could be appreciated at formal events. It's too heavy for sport.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with an unexpected green almond accord, far from the syrupy sweet gourmand many anticipate. This develops into a powdery heart, where a bitter, almost marzipan-like quality mingles with hints of vanilla. The drydown reveals a prominent, sometimes synthetic-smelling, ambergris note, lending a woody, dry, and even leathery depth that lingers for ages. It's a journey from nutty freshness to a dark, complex warmth.
