Accordo Arancio

ACCORDO ARANCIO deserves your attention. It's adorable and to me it just smells like happiness. I love the way it opens up bursting with the mixture of bitter orange, creamy mandarin and cedar. Second later, the inviting vanilla kicks in and it makes your skin smell creamy and orange yummy in a cosy sort of way. AA it's very refreshing in warm weather and it stays just as good even in the heat and I will be more than happy to wrap up in it during winter holidays. Gorgeous and versatile sparkling zesty fragrance. PS: I agree that it smells like the Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Arancia di Capri Acqua di Parma - BUT BETTER! for it is more creamy more feminine and livelier.

@sere On Erbolario website the perfume notes are mandarin, orange, plum and vanilla! Mandarin, orange and alchechengi are the extracts present in the whole bath and body care line. Apart from that, Accordo Arancio is a beautiful blend, much more complex than I've expected, not only citrusy, but also sweet and a bit spicy. I've got it as home fragrance.

Herbal-ambery juicy orange. Happy Summer scent. Easy to wear and love. Moderate sillage and low longevity but hey, Acqua di Parma last just as little for a much higher price tag.

Lovely scent, warm and conforming.

I sort of resonate with what some others have said and disagree at other points. AA begins with a bright, slightly subdued opening. You can sort of get the picture upon the initial spray that this isn’t like a traditional citrus, summer fragrance. And, some have noted this is perhaps better worn in fall or spring, and I think that’s probably the case. Normally, ylang-ylang stands out to me above a lot of other notes, but not here. The plum and petitgrain start to make an early appearance. I think the rather herby mix is also why some think this is a more mature scent than most citruses. I do notice this in other scents, but I found this to be quite wearable and don’t think it’s overly suited to someone older.. After a bit of time, the plum, and herbs really consume the majority of this fragrance when the citrus takes a back seat. I can still smell orange for quite awhile, mostly on my skin rather than paper. The citrus fades away with time and what is left is a bit of a warmer ‘feel’ - the plum and petitgrain. The rest of AA continues this warmness with the amber and a sweet vanilla. I enjoyed wearing this and would recommend.
