Mandarin of Sicily

"In the dense green of the leaves, the small tangerines shine. In the background, Etna, and its snow-capped cone. It seems as if this landscape has been there forever. But the story of the tangerine is that of a happy migration. One of those that could have inspired Franco Battiato to write a song halfway between East and West: a Chinese nobleman from the early 19th century arrives in Sicily and takes root there..." [travel notes]

Mandarin is a complex citrus fruit. Its aromas vary throughout the cycle from the flower and its tart fruit to the ripe fruit.

An olfactory walk in the heart of Sicily

We wanted to completely reconstruct the aromas of mandarin, eliminating any processing interference, to pay homage to this gift from the land of Sicily.

We would not have achieved this without the contribution of innovation and new extraction methods that have served tradition like never before. With three different essential oils we have recreated the scent of the fruit from A to Z: the green mandarin, very subtle and volatile, the complete essential oil and, lastly, the yellow mandarin.

An intoxicating olfactory experience. To experience all the seasons in one go: the flower, the green leaf, the bark with almost bitter notes and the sweet pulp. Jasmine, Geranium and Amber complete the bouquet. The result is a powerful fragrance that transports us to Sicily on a magnificent sunny day whose rays warm the fruits that release their sweet and enveloping fragrance...

Then, the sweet notes of Jasmine, Geranium and Orange Blossom are expressed in the heart, and are associated in the base with Cedar Wood, Amber and Musk. A fragrance with a captivating trail, which takes you on a journey to the south of Italy.
