Tom Daxon Sicilian Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Sicilian Wood opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Cardamom, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Tom Daxon's Sicilian Wood carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Tom Daxon's Sicilian Wood is a contentious beast. Some rave about its bright, natural citrus and refined woody drydown, while others dismiss it as fleeting and synthetic. Lovers say it’s a niche take on Dior Fahrenheit, but its poor longevity is a dealbreaker for many.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, clean citrus and woody profile makes it versatile for casual and office wear, where a softer sillage is appreciated. Despite some calling it 'masculine and refined,' its poor longevity limits its suitability for formal events or dates where lasting impact is desired.

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
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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 a zesty, true-to-life burst of Sicilian lemon, bergamot, and tangerine, given a sophisticated edge by a whisper of cardamom. As the initial brightness settles, a subtle layer of white florals from lily of the valley and jasmine emerges, softly intertwining with a smooth, earthy guaiac wood. The drydown rests on a warm, inviting bed of amber, creamy sandalwood, and dry cedar, holding onto a ghost of the initial citrus.
