Grown and harvested in southern Italy. The mandarin selection depends on the time of harvest, the quality of the fruit and the extraction process. The different qualities of the essential oil influence the creation of a perfume that reflects the fruit as a whole. Mandarino di Sicilia has three different proportions of essential oil. First, there is green mandarin, a delicate and volatile oil, which becomes heavier in the second stage and finally perfects itself in the third stage to become yellow mandarin. The different nuances of the fruity fragrance come from flowers such as petitgrain and neroli with accords of geranium and the maturity of amber. The extract recreates the sun-drenched days spent dancing among the mandarin trees with the fresh scent of the fruit.
The Italian collection from Perris
In the search for exquisite materials around the world, the inspiration for these new products comes from enchanting Italy. The selection of these fragrances represents the highlights of the citrus fruits of Capua. Capua, a small town not far from Naples, has been the centre of citrus essential oil production since 1880. Gian Luca Perris, the creative fragrance designer at Perris Monte Carlo, was fascinated by how the latest technologies and traditional methods are combined in oil extraction there. These fragrances are a tribute to Italian citrus fruits, capturing the warmth of the sun's rays and touching the heart. They emphasise the natural character of lemons with hints of cedar, mandarin and bergamot.
