Arancia di Sicilia by Perris Monte Carlo £160.00
- Key notes:
- blood orange
- orris (iris root)
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- woody
A delectable candied orange perfume featuring blood orange sourced from Sicily, coffee absolute and amber.
As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world.
For Arancia de Sicilia, they picked the iconic citrus of Sicily: orange sanguinella (the blood orange). Normally, the essential oil from bitter oranges is more valued than oil of the common, sweeter varieties. However, the sanguinella orange cultivated on the slopes of Mount Etna is the exception to this rule because of its complex, refined aroma. Blood oranges in this perfume have been extracted by a family-run company in Capua, who have been operating since 1880. They use two traditional methods of extraction. One is to obtain the brown-coloured essential oil from the rind, without touching the fruit pulp which will be used for drinks. The second method takes place when the growing season draws to a close. The entire fruit is passed through a press, blending oil from its peel with the juice. Then a sfumatorchio extractor is used to separate the juice from the pulp, and finally a centrifuge separates the oil from the juice.
Perris blends essential oils from both methods to magically recreate the summer in Sicily with its oranges, strong coffee and sweet patisserie treats.

The so-called “Hanamachi” (花街 literally “flower town”) was traditionally the area where geishas lived and worked. This intriguing perfume evokes the allure of an “oiran”, the highest-ranking courtesan, expressing the contradictory charms of innocence and worldliness. Iris adds ravishing powdery notes to a bouquet of rose and violet. The base of sensual agarwood creates a beautiful harmony suggesting bygone decadence.

Cécile Zarokian
Narcotics flowers, psychotropic herbs and haunted spices are the main ingredients of Kashnoir, the eleventh fragrance of Laboratorio Olfattivo, created after embarking on a long journey in search of the most forbidden and mysterious East. More than a fragrance, Kashnoir is a softly lethal drug, that obscures reason and stuns the senses. A powerful scent, which leads to oblivion, almost dangerous to the wearer.
About Vampire Wife by Sorce
- How does Vampire Wife differ from the fragrances listed here?
- Vampire Wife uniquely combines bright blood orange with gourmand notes like cake and tonka beans, underpinned by skin musk and oakmoss for a musky, animalic depth.

- Which fragrances share the powdery notes found in Vampire Wife?
- Hanamachi and Kashnoir both include powdery notes and heliotrope similar to those in Vampire Wife. They focus on clean, floral powderiness without the citrus or gourmand aspects.
- Are there any fragrances here with similar blood orange notes but a fresher character?
- Yes, Arancia di Sicilia, Aube Lumineuse, and PG30 Alphaora share blood orange but lean towards fresher, sweeter, or woody interpretations rather than the warm, musky gourmand feel of Vampire Wife.
