Scorza di Sicilia

i've been tried this twice, and i like it a lot.. this fragrance is like "the most beautiful light-natural-orangey version of my body-odor (sweat)".. i'm very picky about orangey perfume, coz they reminds me of public room spray.. but Scorza di Sicilia has very natural smelling, never cloying, light but have nice depth so it's not flat (i rarely cherish flat-scent), soft to moderate sillage, moderate longevity.. the opening is softly-moodlifting natural light orange.. as times change, it develops into woody-spicy-er aromas.. this part of "sweaty accent", make this rather intimate-sexy smell.. & the good news is, it's perfectly unisex.. ^^

Refreshing, green, juicy bergamot with woody-herbal background - you cannot dislike it, not espacially if you like green joyful scents. Bergamot is dominant but other citrusses, vetyver and cedar are also detectable. This scent is a definition of Mediterranean paradise to me - thw green citrusses, evergreens, cedar and mossy notes - in style of Aqua di Parma but even more tempting:)

Beautiful! Citrus without smelling at all like countertop cleaning solution. A bit like blood orange but with something smooth and almost creamy in the base, like a vanilla custard (but don't worry, this isn't a gourmand). I'll keep my eye out for a full bottle.

Makes me want to scream and pout and kick some senior Berdoues employee in the shins. Because it's so, so painfully beautiful and so agonisingly short-lived. Opens with one of the truest, sharpest, zestiest, most aromatic orange peel scents you could imagine, then ebbs to barely-there, but still delicious, salty-citrus skin scent within an hour. This lovely aftereffect lingers for maybe an hour or two longer. Then it's gone. And this was when trying in great heat on well moisturised skin. In less favourable conditions you might never even get a whiff of its hidden brilliance. Even if you took a full bodybath in the stuff you couldn't capture its initial effect for any longer. Why oh why oh why? Why even bother making it, let alone buying it? This could have been a champion, never mind a contender. Instead it leaves me fuming with inner orange rage. Waaaaaaah!

I completely join trabuquera! Love at first spritz! Your perfect invigorating, zesty citrus true to its name. The scorza (designates citrus rind in Italian) I get comes mainly from fresh orange that's juicy, yet not overripe and craftily blended with bergamot that's not overly greeny. The woody notes really appear on the dry down only, an understated, refined skin scent. Unisex because it's devoid of the usual gender code: no sweetness and those wood notes aren't too warm. Projection and wear time are the poorest I've experienced EVER. It disappears into nothingness after 1h max on boy's skin, a bit longer on mine. Why???
