Mandorlo di Sicilia by Acqua di Parma
Amber Floral
Acqua di Parma makes fragrances and scented products since 1916, all of them being made in Italy. Mandorlo di Sicilia is an intimate almond scent enhanced with ylang-ylang, vanilla and tolu balsam. Sugar-coated almonds in a small sachet with a cute ribbon on it. Simplistic yet adorable! That is the image of the fragrance I have in mind. Seduction in a subtle way.
It is marketed as unisex but I see it lays more on the feminine side. So similar to Dragee by Reminiscence. But! Drier in the sense it does not smell milky or lotion alike. Yummier and gourmand in an unassuming manner. Sophisticated and timeless yet cute and pretty. I picture Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s swimming in Mandorlo di Sicilia.
The scent stays close to your skin but performs well when it comes to longevity. If you want to impress someone, just do more sprays than usual. This technique normally makes EDTs more profound. Anyway, you can clearly see that I adore it and looking for a way to make it work for everybody. Will you make it work?
