Acqua di Parma unveils Mandarino di Sicilia and Mandarino Millesimato

Nestled in the sun-kissed land of Sicily, the sandy soil of Castelvetrano, richly endowed with underground water sources, combines with a unique microclimate to set the perfect base for the cultivation of citruses. The resulting fruits express distinctive olfactory nuances, embodying the singularity of this unparalleled terroir.

Home to splendid trees and exquisite fruits, the lush Sicilian fields of mandarins and citrus fruits are fondly referred to as Giardini mirroring the beauty and preciousness of private villa gardens. In an ode to this unique land, Acqua di Parma presents two new Blu Mediterraneo fragrances made exceptional through the selection of early harvest fruits as its star ingredient. Harvested unripe, these precious green mandarins lend characteristic vibrant and green olfactory notes to the new compositions.

Essential and sophisticated, Blu Mediterraneo Mandarino di Sicilia is inspired by Sicily’s sun-drenched landscapes, where architecture and culture merge with nature’s splendour. Luminous and brimming with the Mediterranean sun, the fragrance opens with the invigorating aroma of green mandarin, sparkling with an effervescent blend of bergamot, lemon, and juicy red orange.

Mandarino Millesimato is the fruit of a notably sunny and dry summer in 2022, which often yields bounties that are surprisingly juicier. The Tardivo di Ciaculli mandarins are then specifically harvested by hand early in October to capture its unique vivid, fresh, and invigorating profile of juicy and sharp undertones. The essence of green mandarin is expertly blended with a lively array of Italian citrus notes - bergamot, lemon, and red orange - enhancing its brilliance with fresh, juicy tones.
