Agrumi Amari di Sicilia by Bois 1920

Sissi

With a burst of Orange; Lemon; and suger
make this A Delectable Scent.
Like driving though Orange and Lemon
Vineyards with the summer sun & Wind
Blowing though your hair with your cotten white dress with Blue flower prints.
you see little children picking Oranges
from there groves and giving it to each other it's just adoroble sight.
and the Elders from an old Southern Italian Village staring singing and dancing to Folk songs of their village
Laughing playing Cards Smoking there
heavy Cigars and Pipes drink Deep Red Wind It's like a sceen from the Movie
A Walk in the Clouds. or Fairwell to arms. In a Bottle.

An amazingly dull, inferior, overpriced and thus entirely superfluous citrus fragrance. I like Sandalo e Thé, perhaps because it's a rip-off of Tonatto's Sandalo per Teti, but I've found the other BOIS 1920 scents to be rather too conventional affairs considering the horrific price. This however is simply bad. The grapefruit-centered top lacks the refreshing punch you expect from a fragrance called bitter citrus of Sicily. Neither petitgrain nor cumin help to give the lame pamplemousse a hard citric-orangy edge or some suggestive dirtyness. Instead, an irritating synthetic haze hovers above the fragrance, not too dissimilar from the little helpers that ruin the current incarnation of Farina Gegenüber. It would be nice to get some good jasmine and patchouli notes in the middle, but there is nothing of the sort in here, just the inchoate fruitiness of a thankfully brief drydown to cheap wood and musk notes that would make even Ulric de Varens cringe. It's embarassing to smell this besides Acqua di Parma or Eau de Patou or any quality Eau de Cologne. In fact, Monsieur Balmain, 100ml of which can be had for around 15 Euros online, is a vastly superior citrus fragrance.

Bois 1920 have captured the essence of a midsummer's day with Agrumi Amari di Sicilia. This is a holiday in bottled form. The zesty opening is pure sunshine, balanced with a background of petit grain and caraway seeds. The black currant is very true to nature, here, and is a fascinating blend with the jasmine, patchouli, lime, lavender and sandalwood. One might imagine, reading this list, that the fragrance would become overwhelming - this certainly isn't the case. It melds with the wearer and never overshadows the personality behind perfume.

This is a perfect fragrance for warm, sunny days, even unbearably hot climates would find this a beautiful & refreshing fragrance to wear. Somehow it's both energising and relaxing - an uplifting scent for males & females alike. Wearing this I feel optimistic, I see myself sitting in the shade with a floppy straw hat on, sipping a cool drink and overlooking the beautiful countryside of Sicily.

Message in a Bottle: Relax, take time to enjoy your life.
