Mandorlo di Sicilia

A sun-drenched Sicilian almond scent: star anise and bergamot sparkle at the top, then melt into creamy almond and vanilla, leaving a warm, enveloping trail that evokes Mediterranean serenity.

Scent Development and Character

The opening is a sparkling burst of star anise, Italian bergamot, and orange, offering a fresh, slightly spicy citrus lift. The heart reveals green almond's bittersweet, creamy nuance intertwined with exotic ylang-ylang. The base is a smooth blend of Madagascar vanilla, cedarwood, tolu balsam, and musk, creating a sweet, warm, and comforting dry-down. The overall character is a gourmand almond-vanilla sweetness balanced by citrus freshness, evoking the warmth of the Mediterranean.
