Hidden citrus gem
This came like a surprise to me. I was enjoying my stay in Taormina during new year's eve and a 70 °F weather frame. It sprung into my mind to begin looking at summer freshies and while walking down the streets I couldn't help but notice this "local-themed" perfumery house that the city is peppered with. I find this very recurring in Italy at the moment: each place has a way to propose some fragrance-related souvenirs, often in the shape of boring, repetitive fragrances, clones or just cheapies. I decided to give Aria di Sicilia a try and I quickly changed my mind. Their collection is surely safely designed in order to have at least 1 product please the customer but their fragrances, for their price tag, their performance and their execution are actually above average! I will unbalance myself and say that this citrus fragrance here could be on the same shelf of Acqua Viva by Profumum Roma or Eau d'Hadrien or the citrus line of Perris Monte Carlo, of course still being on the lower end of the spectrum. It's really in the same ballpark of the first two I mentioned with the exception of how the fruity citrus is exasperated, with an addition of an unclear sweetness which some people refer to it as a little bubblegummy but despite the simple note listing there's surely some woodiness without falling in the category of the commercial, aromatic citric colognes. If people crave Acqua Viva for how it made the lemon of Eau D'Hadrien shine, this perfume makes it shine even more. The packaging doesn't do justice to the juice at all since longevity and projection are crazy for the price point and the natural citruses that I think are really there.
