Sicily
by Mancera
Mancera Sicily is a vibrant, juicy citrus-fruity fragrance that opens with a bold, effervescent burst of mandarin, grapefruit, apple, peach, and pineapple. The top notes are intensely bright and fresh, creating a powerful, radiant opening that feels like a tropical fruit cocktail. As it settles, the fragrance evolves into a softer, more elegant composition with prominent jasmine, ylang-ylang, violet, and a delicate white musk base, lending it a powdery, slightly soapy elegance that becomes more inviting with time. The scent is relatively linear, maintaining a juicy, sweet, and floral character throughout its longevity. Performance is moderate to strong—many report solid projection for several hours and lasting 6 to 8 hours on skin, though some note it fades quickly. It projects moderately to strongly, making it noticeable in both casual and professional settings, particularly during daytime summer wear. The fragrance is best experienced in warm weather, where its freshness and juiciness shine.
