Summer in Sicily is an unforgettable experience. The island is drenched in sunlight, where stunning landscapes meet rich culture. Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo Mandarino di Sicilia captures this unique Sicilian spirit, embodying the lively and refreshing essence of the region.

The fragrance starts with the zesty aroma of green mandarins, picked early to retain their fresh, crisp scent. This vibrant note is enhanced with bursts of bergamot, lemon, and blood orange, instantly bringing to mind the bright Sicilian sun and lush citrus groves.

At the heart of this scent, the crisp green mandarin is complemented by petit-grain and spearmint. This blend keeps the scent fresh and invigorating throughout the day, reminiscent of a cool breeze off the Mediterranean Sea.

The base introduces a grounding touch of cedarwood, adding a woody depth that harmonizes with the lighter, citrus notes. A hint of musk completes the scent, lending it a sophisticated, clean finish that feels both modern and timeless.

What distinguishes Mandarino di Sicilia is its packaging. The fragrance is encased in an iconic Acqua di Parma bottle, designed with Art Deco influences. The deep blue glass reflects the beauty and depth of the sea, transforming the bottle into a piece of art that brings a touch of luxury to daily life.

Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo Mandarino di Sicilia is an aromatic citrus fragrance that encapsulates the vibrant, fresh essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle—vibrant, fresh, and deeply connected to the cultural richness of Sicily. It’s perfect for anyone looking to carry a piece of Sicilian summer with them all year round (especially uplifting during rainy days like these days).
