The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1997 by Santa Maria Novella, Acqua di Sicilia is a composition that captures the essence of the Mediterranean island with its vibrant citrus and aromatic notes. The fragrance opens with an invigorating blend of Amalfi lemon, bergamot, and mandarin orange, which creates a bright and zesty freshness. As it evolves, the heart of neroli, tangerine, and petitgrain adds a layer of floral and green nuances, while rosemary and lavender bring a hint of spiciness. The base notes of cypress, clove, and benzoin provide a warm and woody foundation that rounds out the scent.
Acqua di Sicilia is best applied in light layers. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so reapply throughout the day for sustained freshness. It's particularly suited to daytime wear when you want a scent that feels crisp and revitalizing.
