Top notes are Green Mandarin, Blood Orange, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Petitgrain and Spearmint; base notes are Musk, Cedar and Patchouli. Blu Mediterraneo Mandarino di Sicilia is a fragrance inspired by Sicily's sun-drenched landscapes, where architecture and culture merge with nature's splendor, encapsulating the Italian Arte di Vivere as a state of mind. The fragrance blends fresh, green notes of mandarin with a heart of Italian citrus, creating a lively and refreshing sensation.The fragrance opens with the invigorating aroma of green mandarin, sparkling with an effervescent blend of bergamot, lemon, and juicy red orange. This combination wraps the scent in the brightness of a Sicilian summer, radiating intense emerald nuances and a lively freshness. In its heart, the green hue of the mandarin meets the freshness of the notes of petit-grain and spearmint in a blend that extends the fragrance's longevity. The cedarwood base note completes this green sensation, while the musk note adds a clean, sophisticated brilliance.Green Mandarin, Bergamot, Lemon, Blood orange Petitgrain, Spearmint Patchouli, Cedarwood, Musk
