If there was ever a dupe for Pacific Chill, this might be the one (at least for the opening of the fragrance). Sicily starts out as a fruit salad. The more prominent fruits here are the grapefruit, the apple and the bergamot. Grapefruit and apple are sweet and tart, while bergamot offers a refreshing zing of brightness. As the initial fruits start to wane, peaches end up staying a little longer. Sweet, fresh and fuzzy! The middle notes reminded me a lot of Marbella: I get the fresh rose paired with peaches and a hint of jasmine. I barely get any yellow or purple flowers. When the bottom starts peeking through, it becomes woody and musky.
I did get an undertone of synthetic streak throughout the fragrance, something I think Mancera is known for which is why I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I'd prefer buying Pacific Chill and Marbella (already have it in my collection) seperately than getting this one. Nonetheless, if you don't want to splurge for the pricier fragrances and want a lovely fruity, floral perfume for summer, then this could be a nice choice!
