Sicily

Mancera Sicily EDP opens with a moderate projection of citrus, fruity, and floral notes. The opening is very fresh, delectable, inviting, elegant, natural, bright. The bergamot, mandarin orange, peach, pineapple, apple, and jasmine are the opening most noticeable notes. The citrus and fruits create a delectable accord, sharp, sweet, inviting, moist, and natural accord. Closely following is the jasmine with a white floral, and delicate touch. As part of the next group of notes are the violet, ylang-ylang, and white musk, they add a fruity and mild powdery accord. The rest of the notes, rose and wood are there to provide support taking a shy place in the far back of the fragrance. The fragrance is relatively linear, the citruses and fruits are intense during the opening, they come up as bright, pure, and sharp. As the fragrance moves to its dry down, the powdery violet and white musk grow to engulf the feature notes. Once the Mancera Sicily EDP has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, powdery, sweet, citrus, mandarin orange, grapefruit, fruity, pineapple, peach, apple, and jasmine fragrance with soft woody accords. The fragrance feels airy, aromatic, delectable, delicate, diurnal, elegant, exotic, expensive, exquisite, slightly more feminine than masculine, inviting, nicely blended, refined, refreshing, relaxing, rich, strong, unique, versatile, and very pleasant.

Mancera Sicily I was fortunate enough to obtain a sample of this fragrance, and I can't help but want to share my experience. This is one of the best openings I have ever smelled in a fragrance. It smells as if you've entered a fresh and bright citrus fruit orchard. I detected grapefruit, bergamot, peach almost immediately, and also, lemon, even though it's not listed as an official note. Not sure if the combined notes can give off a lemon/lime vibe, too but whatever the case, it's SO beautiful. I definitely picked up a powdery lemony grapefruit vibe as it started to dry down with a very bright, fresh and fruity background. As it completely dried down and you're entering the mid, the musk and florals start to come out but the grapefruit is still dominant, supported by the other fruits. The rose starts mixing with the citrus in an intoxicating twist as the opening starts to fade and the mid takes center stage. The initial blast of citrus starts to fade a bit although it's still got a very fruity and fresh vibe. The jasmine and violet start to come out more as the mid takes full dominance and the base of woods and musk slowly gain ground. The citrusy/rose combo becomes less intense but still prominent. As you flow through to the base, the fruitiness fades to just a faint background as the musk starts blending with the florals. The jasmine and violet start weaving in with the musk and the rose starts fading behind them. The woody notes start then to support the musky florals and the fruitiness fades almost completely. The floral aspects and woods start to blend and the fruit starts making a bit of a comeback in the background, so it retains this fresh quality through the life of the fragrance. Testing this out was quite an exhilarating experience. I have never smelled anything this fresh before. It is the most natural smelling "fruity freshie" I have ever smelled. It is so well blended. I could not stop smelling my arm where I had sprayed the sample. The only problem is that the opening is so amazing that I wanted to keep respraying it to experience the opening again. I am in love with this fragrance. This is the first Mancera fragrance I've had the opportunity to smell and sample and I must get a bottle. It is really that beautiful. Although it does lean a bit feminine, I feel as though it is still very wearable for a man. Smell : 10/10 Longevity : 8/10 Sillage : 8/10 Overall : 9.5/10 I know that math doesn't add up, it should be overall 8.7/10 based on the scores but the SMELL is always most important, and for that reason, it gets bonus points because this one is really out of this world.

Love at first sniff! On par on quality MFK Aqua Vitae Forte(my most favorite freshie and an outstanding house for me). Smells really an expensive freshie. With high quality florals. Non pungent but vibrant citrus fruits. Maybe one of the best fresh perfumes that I have tried this year. Good thing it doesn't smell like soap and it smells like a lemon oil rather than lemon juice which really sets it apart from other freshies. Smells like a mish mash of fruits extract and florals. Jasmine and Ylang ylang is the backbone of this perfume. This is similar vibe to jour d hermes. unisex leaning at bit feminine. It has that fresh and elegant sillage. This does not smell like typical citrus cologne but rather a citrus perfume. I can definitely detect high quality jasmine and ylang ylang in the dry down, they might have done a same process of enfleurage with TF Champaca Absolute(yellow floral), or Aqua universalis forte(white floral), Rose Absolue(red floral). It has that potent aroma of a flowers, but this one instead of being pungent, it is rounded with fruits and high quality(meaning it does not smell designer synthetics) lemon and bergamot oil. It's definitely high quality(except the slightest hint of the Mancerian peach note :D). I'm thinking of adding ice and sugar to this and drink it, it is that juicy. and it last and last. :)

I absolutely love this fragrance! This is my type of fragrance 100%. As a lover of fruity-sweet fragrances this one owns my heart. This was a blind buy from few reviews and the very first bottle from Mancera brand, and I would say that this is a safe buy if you like this type of fragrances too. The top notes open up strongly with mandarin and a bit of a bitter grapefruit that also blends very nicely with bergamot and peach (although peach here is very smooth and almost unnoticeable). Then after one minute the middle notes come up with ylang-ylang and a bit of jasmine that makes this fragrance more equilibrated and appealing, feminine and agreeable. I don't feel very much the violet and rose which is good. The amount of floral notes is just perfect here in my opinion. And in the base notes I feel mostly woodiness that gives this fragrance a very good base and depth. It has a good longevity about 3-4 hours and an average silage. Generally speaking, it has a fruity not overly sweet vibe. I'd say very good for spring, summer and maybe hot autumn. It is a day fragrance good for office too. Inoffensive, fruity, soapy, long-lasting, summer fragrance, with good quality ingredients.
