Agrumi Amaria di Sicilia / Agrumi di Sicilia
Bois 1920 (2005)

Bright, sharp citrus and petitgrain in the opening. Also, no mistaking the cumin. It's there for sure but not as strong as some others I've smelled. Still though, it does smell like you've been hanging around a restaraunt.

After the cumin fades, you're left with a soft, clean citrus mixed with a creamy sandalwood. Reminds me of a nice lotion.

Soft projection throughout, longevity is average.

A perfumed fruity-floral refreshing water (in the same vein of some Guerlain's aquas), with a musky light dry down. The first blast is citrusy (above all orangy) with a toned down grapefruit and a touch of tasty pungency from berries. The floral notes (white flowers) start soon to soar in order to impress femininity while the fragrance evolves towards a musky-woodsy dry down with a very faint longevity. The smell is very light, fruity and carefree. Not bad.

With a burst of Orange; Lemon; and suger
make this A Delectable Scent.
Like driving though Orange and Lemon
Vineyards with the summer sun & Wind
Blowing though your hair with your cotten white dress with Blue flower prints.
you see little children picking Oranges
from there groves and giving it to each other it's just adoroble sight.
and the Elders from an old Southern Italian Village staring singing and dancing to Folk songs of their village
Laughing playing Cards Smoking there
heavy Cigars and Pipes drink Deep Red Wind It's like a sceen from the Movie
A Walk in the Clouds. or Fairwell to arms. In a Bottle.

The citrus (grapefruit) on top is instantly drowned by an airy floral musk accord. It is also a touch soapy. Overall it feels feminine, cheap and not especially pleasant. Not recommended.

The style and execution are similar to Acqua di Parma's Mediterraneo range. It is similarly expensive, briefly enjoyable, and ultimately lacking in its ability to provide a complete fragrance experience. The opening is a splendid feast of diverse citrus elements, lightly supported by a subdued petitgrain presence. The top notes are everything that I had hoped they would be - fresh, zesty, and a fitting beginning to any citrus orientated product. As expected, it is the heart and base notes that fail to capitalise on the enterprising opening. The heart notes allow for a light sweetening from the jasmine and blackcurrant, but it feels like a wrong turn from the early decisive direction. Agrumi Amaria di Sicilia never really recovers from the downward trend, and it merely offers a light woody finish, with a distinctly uninspiring musk accompaniment. There are a multitude of products that can replicate that enchanting opening, and still give the wearer a significantly more balanced package. The best use I can find for AAdS, is as an expensive post shower mood elevator

It smells quite good, with (as expected) with bitter, sour, natural citrus notes, followed by a vague woody dry down. I enjoy the scent itself (pedestrian though it is), but the longevity is pathetic. And this is coming from someone whose skin usually projects and holds scent well. It was barely there after all of 10 minutes. If I put my nose IN by wrist. I could get just the tiniest whiff of some soft (sandal?)woody notes. Seriously, I get more out of Eau d'Orange Verte.
