A green citrus perfume in which the delicious juicy aroma of ripe mandarins is mixed with the dry greenness of petitgrain, soft musky geranium, and crisp cedarwood.
As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world. Mandarins in this perfume come from southern Italy, with nuances supplied by green and yellow mandarins harvested in different seasons.
The green fruit extract has a delicate fleeting aroma, which rolls into a more confident sweet blend of ripe mandarins. The amber note in the base merges the two into a happy zesty perfume.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of close conversation in warm shade: a bright, polished citrus that feels alive on skin without turning loud. It suits a wearer who likes freshness with texture, something clean but not thin, with a green snap that reads natural and composed.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its citrus-green opening can breathe and the mandarin notes unfold clearly. Apply a moderate amount to skin and clothing for a crisp, luminous trail; in heat it feels juicier and more radiant, while in cooler air the cedar and amber give it a smoother, more grounded finish.
Who it’s for
For someone drawn to citrus fragrances with a green edge, natural-feeling materials and a refined, understated profile. It will appeal to wearers who like freshness with depth, especially mandarin, petitgrain and soft woody-amber drydowns rather than sharp cologne effects.

The nose
Gian Luca Perris. As founder and creative director of Perris Monte Carlo, he approaches perfumery with a materials-first mindset, favouring high-grade naturals and precise extraction work. His style often balances Mediterranean brightness with polished structure, letting raw ingredients feel vivid rather than decorative. For Mandarino di Sicilia, that approach is especially clear: the fragrance is built around mandarin in multiple seasonal facets, from green and fleeting to ripe and rounded, with the composition shaped to feel like a real Sicilian grove rather than a generic citrus accord.
Collaborators
Luca Maffei is credited as a collaborator on the Italian Collection and helped shape the fragrance’s citrus concept alongside Gian Luca Perris, contributing to the polished structure around the mandarin, floral heart and woody-amber base.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo is a niche house built around exceptional raw materials, especially naturals sourced with care and often with an Italian emphasis. Its fragrances tend to translate place, craft and ingredient quality into clear, modern compositions rather than ornate effects.
Mandarino di Sicilia’s concept
Mandarino di Sicilia was conceived as a portrait of Sicilian mandarin orchards under Mount Etna, with the fruit shown across different stages of ripeness and season. The composition uses multiple mandarin extracts, including green and yellow facets, to move from crisp greenness into a fuller, sweeter citrus glow, evoking a sunlit grove in motion.
Extra info
The fragrance is part of Perris Monte Carlo’s Italian Collection and was introduced alongside Bergamotto di Calabria and Cedro di Diamante. Its mandarin theme is built from multiple seasonal extracts, and the brand highlights the fruit’s Sicilian landscape and its long journey from China to the Mediterranean.
