Mandorlo di Sicilia by Acqua di Parma opens on bitter almond and star anise, sharpened by bergamot and orange for a bright, slightly spiced start. Vanilla orchid, orange blossom and heliotrope soften the heart, and it settles into tonka bean, white musk and vanilla for a warm, sweet-almond close that never turns heavy. Launched in 2013, it crosses genders easily and suits anyone who likes a gourmand scent worn lightly rather than piled on. Voters wear it right across the year, from spring through winter, and reach for it by day and into the evening. On sillage, most wearers land on moderate. The longevity vote leans from moderate toward long-lasting, so it stays present without being loud. A 3ml decant is a good way to carry Mandorlo di Sicilia through a season before you decide on more.

The house
More from Acqua di Parma
Acqua di Parma started in Parma, Italy, in 1916, when Baron Carlo Magnani created Colonia, one of the first colognes made in the country. That fresh, sunny style still shapes the house. Expect citrus first, bergamot, lemon and orange, with herbs such as basil and coriander, then cedar, sandalwood and a soft musk underneath. Colonia itself is the place to begin: bright citrus, green herbs and clean woods. Fico di Amalfi and Arancia di Capri carry that brightness down to the coast. Colonia Oud shows the darker side of the house, with oud and leather under the familiar freshness.
