A green citrus perfume in which the delicious juicy aroma of ripe mandarins is mixed with the dry greenness of petitgrain, soft musky geranium, and crisp cedarwood.
As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world. Mandarins in this perfume come from southern Italy, with nuances supplied by green and yellow mandarins harvested in different seasons.
The green fruit extract has a delicate fleeting aroma, which rolls into a more confident sweet blend of ripe mandarins. The amber note in the base merges the two into a happy zesty perfume.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon with the windows open and mandarin peel still on your fingertips: this fragrance carries that immediate, slightly bitter freshness into close conversation. Dry petitgrain keeps the juicy fruit measured, while soft florals and woods give it a quietly composed presence.
How to wear
Its citrus-green balance suits spring and warm weather. Start with two or three sprays on the neck and forearms, leaving room for the bitter peel and petitgrain to register without crowding the softer florals. On skin, the cedarwood, amber and musk provide a rounded counterpoint to the bright opening.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer citrus with peel, leaf and texture rather than sugary fruitiness. It suits a taste for naturalistic mandarin, dry green accents and restrained floral softness, with a woody, musky base rather than a gourmand finish.

The nose
Gian Luca Perris, founder, creative director and perfumer of Perris Monte Carlo, composed Mandarino di Sicilia. His approach places raw materials and extraction methods at the centre of the creative process. Here, different mandarin oils and fractions trace the fruit's progression from green, semi-bitter freshness to ripe sweetness.
Collaborators
Capua 1880, the Italian citrus specialist, collaborated with Gian Luca Perris on the Italian raw-material project behind this fragrance. The collaboration helped shape its exploration of mandarin through different oils, fractions and extraction techniques.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo defines luxury through craftsmanship and the quality of its ingredients rather than outward display. Its fragrances bring traditional raw-material knowledge together with modern extraction techniques, exploring the nuances of ingredients from different regions.
Mandarino di Sicilia’s concept
Mandarino di Sicilia was conceived as a portrait of mandarin ripening on the tree, moving from green and floral facets towards fuller, sunlit sweetness. Three mandarin materials reveal leaf, semi-bitter peel and sweet flesh, while the surrounding imagery evokes Sicilian orchards and Mount Etna. It joined Bergamotto di Calabria and Cedro di Diamante in the original Italy Collection citrus trio.
Extra info
The composition uses three distinct mandarin materials: a light green-mandarin fraction, complete green-mandarin oil and yellow-mandarin oil. Gian Luca Perris also connected the fruit with childhood and school memories, including playing with its peel.
