I'll start by saying orange fragrances are my favorite citrus scents. However, this is possibly misnamed. With 3 citrus notes in the opening I was expecting something more bright and juicy throughout the life of this scent. I feel the orange blossom takes the center stage here. The opening is incredible. Perhaps one of the best bright juicy orange openings. You really get the bitter orange, which I love. Within minutes it becomes more creamy and floral to my nose. I know green mandarin can often give off a creamy neroli like aroma. Its quite linear aswell. Aside from the killer bright citrus opening and the creamy orange blossom this doesn't develop much. I've sprayed this multiple times just to experience that opening. I do still detect the citruses but it's wrapped in creamy florals. I like it but I don't love it. Perhaps it's just my skin telling a different story compared to what others are saying here. It's good but not what I expected. I strongly encourage a sample of this first.

This is the best citrus scent in my collection of over 100 perfumes, hands down, that I've ever smelled. Bitter orange does not smell like a cleaning product. Wearing this always makes me feel euphoric. It's fresh and clean and perfectly blended.

a very unique citrus aromatic scent, I blind bought this preloved so I think its already macerating for a while, initial blast is a strong blast of mandarin orange with boldness of a strong bitter aromatic notes, quite a one dimensional to my nose & last a moderate 4-5 hours, not too bad for a citrus notes, works on a hot & cold climate, suddenly fell in love with this house & already decant some of the black edition, also another blind buy a preloved cedre de diamante, looking forward to it.

Soapy, bitter, peppery mandarin with abysmal longevity. Leans very masculine to my nose.

This is a sweet mandarin that still manages to be unisex because of its base. It's less generically fruity and more photorealistic mandarin than acqua di parma. It performs surpsingly well in cooler weather...a lot of citruses fall foat unless it's hot...not this one.

The citruses line of fragrances from this house the "Italy" collection, are all done in a Acqua Di Parma style, almost all of them that I've tried have that uplifting good quality citrus notes very similar to releases from ADP. This particular one is very faint, and soft, fleeting. The scent reaches the petitgrain cedar musk soft amber base fairly quickly and remains on skin for a few hours. The bitter orange, mandarin citrusy juicy notes just pop in the opening for just some time, but its nicely blended citruses with florals, would be a very pleasant vibrant summer scent if applied generously. Not entirely unique for sure, not something that's memorable either, but however, the standard of raw materials used in this are definitely appreciable.

Green or bitter orange is one of my favourite citrus notes in fresh summer perfumes. It smells jammy and has a depth that ensures that the perfume doesn't smell like a cleaning product. So MdS has become my holy grail of orange fragrances that is perfectly unisex (green orange and coriander by Jo Malone is a bit too masculine for me so I gave it to my husband). Someone is selling this for £65 or best offer on Ebay and they have a bunch of bottles they're trying to liquidate. Get it while you can!

Delicious peppery mandarin aroma, it's a shame it lasts only for two hours on my skin. LOVED the scent for summer, so refreshing and sexy.

6/10

A biting green mandarin encased in white florals. Really using the whole orange tree here, with the sharp orange citrus along with the bitter green petitgrain and soft orange blossom, but the jasmine and woody base are also notable participants. The woods come out slightly more as it dries down. Moderately soft projection for 2-3hr, longevity 6-8hr.

This is real close to el ganso part time hero but el ganso last longer than this

I think the house of Perris Monte Carlo flies under a lot of people's radar. Everything I’ve sampled I have either liked or loved, and they do exceptionally well in regards to citrus scents. Mandarino di Sicilia is another winner.

Top notes are extremely natural and mixed well, creating a beautiful mouth puckering orange grove scent. After the opening, I agree with @trabuquera below, this scent dries down into a predictable skin scent of orange and musk laundry detergent. At the retail price that might be disappointing to some, but I usually buy my bottles on the grey market or through a discounter (as I do with almost all my purchases).

As with most fragrances, this is unisex and anyone can wear it. Personally I do not associate citrus scents with men, wear what you love is always the best advice.

This is a strong old school very realistic Orange and petitgrain smell. This is more for a 40 and up man. Def not a safe blind buy. This will not smell good on a woman. After sampling, a no go for me. I ended up going with Tom Fords Manadarina Aqua, a better buy for all ages.

Like it a whole lot, but it is a little bit of a luxury glamping beach cabin built on sand. Really, REALLY good top notes - juicy and green and bristling with zing - do a great great job of conjuring freshly-peeled mandarin, peel and pith and little popping segments of refreshment. Just beautiful. Not a wide-spectrum art piece of perfume but 10/10 for a realistic picture in scent.

But it's disappointing for something this classy to be underlaid with that same rather cheap, almost-metallic, off-white laundry-freshener musk (grey linen musk?) that perfumers so often fall back on to stretch fast-vanishing citrus notes. From the middle up it's absolutely gorgeous; from the middle down, kind of industrial and cold and not willing to make an effort. Feels like they just phoned it in. A lazy, let-down finish for an act that opens this sparkling and fresh and even original. Longevity is marginally better than average for Perris citruses (4 or maybe even 5 hours, even on skin) but the same abusive prices at RRP.

Definitely one to reach for in summer - when even that cool-neutral musk might serve as a general feeling of 'fresh' which you'd welcome - and to me it seems unlikely to shine in lower temperatures. Still not half bad and worth experimenting with if you really thirst for all things mandarin-y!

Just a stunning creation from the Perris house.
The opening is delightfully Italian with that very natural mandarine note, very gentle and not astringent. Cannot emphasize enough how realistic and convincing the mandarine note seems.
It then melts with the floral (I personally get more jasmine than geranium), musky and ambery notes and gives this fragrance a very relaxed aura. Works beautifully in the evening/nightime as well.
You'll have to respray this as it is very light and fleeting, but boy what a spectacle ! Full bottle needed.

Comparing Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi with Perris Monte Carlo's Mandarino di Sicilia. Both open with their big, delicious blasts of citrus sunshine. The MdA is the airier, more lemony of the two and has a soapy clean quality which, forgive me, reminds me at first of Sunlight lemon washing up liquid. An upper echelon version perhaps but still... MdS opens on a more natural orangey note with distinct petitgrain and is subtly more substantial. Both sustain their citrus openings into the main accords, combining orange blossom in MdA's case with jasmine, and in MdS's with geranium, though jasmine is in the mix. Again the MdS feels half an octave lower with a lovely enveloping quality. The difference in the drydowns is intriguing. MdA remains consistently light, simple, centred on fresh white floral and musk, still soapy clean but classier now and very close to the skin. The MdS is still light but the warmth of geranium with musk and a faint cedar give richer sillage and longevity. Both are fantastic variations on bottled sunshine with Mandarino di Amalfi being the brighter, fresher, morning version of the two and the Mandarino di Sicilia capturing the lengthening shadows and warmth of late afternoon / early evening. I love both — and enjoyed alternating between the two — but for me Perris has the edge for its beautiful progression

Very good quality citrus! I cant pick the geranium even though it would be interesting. It smells very natural and a tiny tart from the petigrain. Actually I smell a looot of vetiver which is not listed. Very similar to Bergamote 33 by Lelabo, buy Perris instead which is cheaper and more refined

The opening is a gorgeous bitter mandarin peel scent. The combination of tart, bitter and sweetness is addictive. I absolutely love the scent, but I have to keep spraying at it's gone in 60 seconds. Very short lived refreshing realistic citrus. Very linear to me -- all gone before I could even detect hints of any of the base notes.

I tend to overspray this because the longevity and sillage is just moderate. Or so I thought. After months of not using it, I sprayed it today and I was surprised how the performance has improved. I also got my first compliment today.

It opens a bit tart and green from the mandarin and petitgrain, I also detect a very strong neroli but it’s not listed in the notes, that’s why I find it very similar to TF Neroli Portofino. I suspect that the orange blossom listed here could be a mistake. I also smell a bit of grapefruit instead of the bitter orange, the other florals I cannot detect, After a while it becomes powdery but the tartness lingers. First rate juice that’s very realistic and natural without smelling like a bathroom cleaner.

Beautiful statement making citrus. A salty bitter orange with stems, leaves, blossoms and all. Agree with reviewers that this is FRESH.

When I first smelled this I was really blown away by how natural the citrus notes are. The juice is luscious, tart, bitter, sweet and just so refreshingly fragrant. Then the floral notes kick in and the fleeting citruses disappear. After about 10 minutes, I don’t smell anything anymore. The base notes are even absent, I cannot detect any of them to make a good lasting impression.

Scent - 8/10
Longevity - 2/10
Sillage - 3/10

It smells exactly like you're peeling a slightly unripe mandarin orange. It's fresh, tart and a little bitter. It's like summer in a bottle.
