Blu Mediterraneo Mandorlo di Sicilia - Eau de Toilette Agrumes Orientaux

The best summer vanilla!!

Finally, I've found the scent I've been searching for to end what feels like my never ending pursuit. This is one of the few, the very few fragrances that had my heart from the moment I sprayed it until it wore off. So often a fragrance I enjoy just doesn't work with my body chemistry or I absolutely love the opening and it turns on me later on. I'm also a fan of vanilla fragrances but wanted something I could wear throughout the summer that wasn't too heavy and this was it. The almond, the anise, the vanilla, it's exceptional and I'm sold. It wears pretty close to me and has decent longevity, but because I can't get enough, of course I wish it was stronger, however I have zero issues spraying this all day. In my top 3 fragrances of all time.

Smells like a lemon sugar cookie, and I love it. If you are a gourmand lover, this is for you! Great for spring/summer!

Absolutely loved it!!! If you are looking for an affordable alternative to Kilian’s Love, don’t be shy - this is it!! Will definitely repurchase.

Mon parfum préféré pour l'été

Un vrai bonheur ce parfum frais et lumineux ! J'adore les notes d'amande mêlées aux agrumes.

Try Before You Buy…

I was so excited for this perfume that I blind bought it. As soon as I tried it, I was so disappointed. At first, it smells just like anice (a Liquorice/root beer smell). After a few minutes, it turns into a generic sweet smelling perfume with a touch of anice. I get very little-no almost scent. My MAIN issue is how WEAK this perfume is. I have to soak my skin and clothes in it to be able to smell it, and even then, it fades almost immediately into nothing. So disappointed.

Love it! But it may not be for everyone.

Personally I think this fragrance smells amazing, it's one of my favorite perfumes I've ever used. However it is a very heavy scent with a very sweet smell, one spritz is more than enough. If you prefer light florals or a something a bit more subtle this is one you might want to skip.

SO GROSS.

Disgusting. This fragrance is TERRIBLE. wanted something that smells like sweet almond THIS IS NOT IT. When on the skin at first you get this root beer scent which is tolerable but the dry down is where I say absolutely not. This smells like a plastic doll that had been left in the sun.

Amazing cream soda vibes

Wow, this so amazingly unique. I blind bought this based on reviews. It’s like a summer version of Hypnotic Poison. Root beer/cream soda, fizzy almond and anise vibes and I LOVE it. The bottle design makes you think it’s going to be a fresh men’s cologne type of scent but then it’s so far from that. If you love Hypnotic Poison and are looking for something lighter and summery, give this a try.

Synthetic and Cheap

Exact, like literally exact dupe of Love Dont be Shy. Same synthetic scent, same nauseating vibe. Buyer beware.

Une belle suprise

Un parfum qui ne ressemble à aucun autre ! L'amande, douce et pas trop sucrée est une très belle découverte ! Je le recommande sans hésitation !

amaretti cookies in a bottle

This does not smell like a root beer float! If you’re Italian ... it smells EXACTLY like amaretti cookies!! Also known as almond cookies in English but that specific recipe for sure! Great scent, definitely VERY heavy on the almond, it’s all I smell! To be expected of course! So good.

Signature Scent

Still is my signature scent after wearing this for 4 years! Smells like a rich vanilla root beer float!! Not too sweet and is perfect with my chemistry. I am complimented on this perfume every time I wear it out!
