Sicily by Dolce&Gabbana

For: women Designer: Dolce&Gabbana Olfactive Group: Oriental Floral
Video

«There is no Italy without Sicily». This fragrance brings the genuine Italian temperament of the people of this beautiful island where the time is measured in moments and feelings in eternity. Sicily is soft like a whisper, attractive like lips longing for a kiss, and unforgettable like women's skin touch. Sicily is an attempt of using a bigger amount of aldehydes in a modern fragrance and the floral-aldehyde heart of the composition lies on the oriental vanilla base. Floral-aldehyde compositions which instantly remind of classic Chanel N°5 posses glamour and elegance of «old» classic fragrances.

Apart from the classic glamour the aldehydes in Sicily, combined with floral notes and warm oriental base, give a fine effect of a warm female skin. The top notes are Sicilian bergamot and powdery honeysuckle, the heart notes are jasmine, black rose and hibiscus, and the base notes – heliotrope, sandalwood and musk.

The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Lorson.

this is the best interpretation of cif cream lemon cleaner, apart from the product it self.
sorry but i'm just not capable on making any compromises on this one: i wear it and i feel like a maid on a really long shift. which really is NOT the effect one desires when wearing a fragrance.
sadly, sicily does not work for me at all. thumbs down.

This one is absolutely gourgeous! In the bottle smells like a mediterranean beach was traped in there, I can smell salt, aldehydes, banana and fresh flowers. It works very good in the winter because its a very warm scent, great to spray on leather jackets. Its sexy but in a classy way, Monica Bellucci was a great choice for the ad, the perfume its just like her, beautiful but in an exotic way, sexy but not cheap. A perfume for women not for girls! Man are a little bit scared of this quind of smells because they can express women power, that why the fragrance was discontinuated...
It's a shame, I am totaly tired of smelling like fruit or sugary flowers.

i find this one not at all a floral oriental on me,, its very much a fruity floral gourmand, with banana the dominating tone, changes a lot with the time, great sillage and staying power,, very nice one, especially in a hot climate like Greece, well said Vickalena, it prefers hot weather!!

Like Jillzilla, I also get beewax from this. And also noticed it's very "weather" sensitive.But works wonders in every season. Good during day, but great during evening/night. I can smell some aldehydes, but not much,top notes emanate a tiny bit. Overall, it's wonderful, I love it.

Picture it Sicily in June 29th 2010
In 140 s Lansdowne Ave Lansdowne Pennsylvania BronxBeauty with the generousity in her heart gave me lots
of lovely samples and mini's and i allways wanted Dolce and gabbana Sicily
so she gave it to me in a swap and and tried it and it was'nt what i have expected i expected more of a dark woodsy with Incense and other raisen notes almost across between Cypre Floral or a woody floral a bit more masculine but what i got is Bananas and Aldehydes and it smelled more like a Banana Cream Pie then a dark Brooding stylish Weathy Sicillan mafioso.
it does'nt smell what i think an italian perfume smell like.

Cant believe that it took me so long to have it in my wardrobe!!!I always saw this in the perfume shop and have tested it long ago, only once and did not careabout it. Till I read the raving reviews here about this...I bought one and I must say that I have found a new signature!!!This scent is exactly what I demand from a scent!!!
The perfect combination of unusual notes such as banana and nutmeg with a sensual, oriental base and ultra longevity...I just love it!!Normally would only wear it during fall, winter but during summer it smells even better on my skin!!!The strong soapy start soon melts into a warm, clean and sexy scent. I have always loved D&G fragrances, BY, Feminine, The One, D&G red cap, Rose the one, but I can say that is is my favourite D&G fragrance! Its on the same line as By!!!Simply the best!!This one is a keeper!!!
A sultry, sensual scent full of class!!!

This is so different in cold weather vs. warm weather! In cold weather, I got a lot of banana and beeswax (even though it's not listed).

But today, in warm weather, I got a lot of aldehydes! I still got the banana, but I also got almost all the other notes this time!

It's such a strange fragrance on my skin that I find it refreshing and invigorating!

A generous member gave me a sample.

I don't perceive any banana on my skin, only gentle florals. What some others might be describing as "clean" or "soapy", to my nose is "baby powder" through and through. A petal-soft scent, which might need to be re-applied during the day.

As an Italian woman I thought I had to give Sicily a try. So I got a sample. Maybe I still need time with this fragrance but for now all I can say is BANANNA. I get bananna. I knew it was there as a note but I figured since it was a top note it would blend and morph into something special. Well right now all I can report is that this smells like I showered with banana split body wash and then let myself dry in the sun. It is a soapy scent and the aldehydes make it a bit sharp. the only thing that makes this sweet is the major banana bomb.

I remember having tested--in a duty-free store on my way to somewhere far away--D&G SICILY shortly after its launch. I liked it a lot, and ever since I have had the idea in my mind that this edp is FB-worthy. Until today, though, I had entirely forgotten precisely why. Having recently tested a range of D&G fragrances which I found underwhelming--to say the least--I feared for the worst as I opened up my sample vial this morning.

Instead, I was delighted to find at last a D&G offering that I really do consider a worthy perfume! With a name like SICILY, I was expecting a bright lemony aromatic fragrance--what else would one want to wear during a hot Sicilian summer? Instead, SICILY may be more geared toward the wife of a high-level mafioso, someone very rich who doesn't deign to meddle in her husband's business (and would be shocked to learn the truth, if she did!).

I say this because SICILY is soapy from start to finish. A clean, appealing soapiness that would wear very well in hot weather, I think. The bright floral opening--honeysuckle, heliotrope, and hyacinth-rich--is really beautiful, with a unique texture apparently imparted by banana.

As the fragrance evolves, it just becomes soapier and soapier, until all that is left is a feeling of clean. I like SICILY a lot: great fragrance, good sillage, excellent staying power, and it probably doesn't hurt that I happen to love soapy perfumes. On my wish list--Adesso!

Sicily is like a dreamers home.. to come in, close the full, dark wooden door and lay down by the fire with a book in your hand and with your lover next to you..
and after that, it's that tension in the air, that uncomfortableness, when your bodies do not touch, when your lips stare at each others lips, and when your hands get more and more sure of the plan they are going to get done with the opposite body..
love is in the air, perfume.. and it doesn't mean that you have to be in love when buying it..
it WILL get you to love.. it :)

I dont know why people keep claiming this perfume is Dcd - this perfume (which is also one of my faves and a perm staple in my wardrobe) is still available on the D&G site, still remains current, and is one of their perm items.
It is also one of their best fragrances IMHO. This is one of the most sensual and alluring, feminine fragrances, subtle and gentle on the senses, but equally statement making - Sicily is a fragrance that people remember!! This is a typical floriental, warm, spicy, a beautiful blend of florals and sandalwood, its warm and seductive! The Bergamot in this fragrance is utterly beautiful - and I hate bergamot, its usually tart and to me rather unpleasant, the note in this fragrance features none of that and its beautifully complementary to the honeysuckle heart. The jasmine and hibiscus top notes are a lovely opener and the rose in the top endures the rest of the developing scent. The base is sandalwood, musk and heliotrope, the sandalwood and musk are evident and so beautifully balanced, neither one stands alone, but both are recognised. The heliotrope in the base is unusual, it captures the entire scent in a heady vanilla almond embrace that is both captivating and unforgettable.
This is one of my all time favourite perfumes and I will repurchase this fragrance at the end of each and every bottle I use for as long as I can!

Sicily is classy!!

A luxurious fragrance for luxurious moments. I'm in love with Sicily's banana notes!!!The most exquisite ripe banana(dominant note)combined with soft and beautiful flowers.

Sicily is as intense as D&G EDT. This is a perfume for those who don't want to pass unnoticed, spite of that, this is not an overwhelming scent.

I have Italian blood in my veins and i will allways love Sicily.

None of the perfumes I've ever tested has managed to draw as many compliments as Sicily does every time I wear it.

There aren't too many perfumes I'd label SEXY, but Sicily is one of them. I haven't come across people wearing this perfume very often so it can be unique, soft and sophisticated signature scent.

This fragrance smells like sun-warmed soap to me, and on me. Not bad, but can be cloying after a while. Strong lasting power, so use sparingly!

I first sprayed this on my wrist when I was out shopping. Initially I didn't like it, I thought it smelt soapy and I was turned off. Two hours later I got home and smelt my wrist and the scent was different. It warmed up nicely on my skin, soft and comforting like a cashmere sweater but still sexy. Its distinctive but not strong for a perfume. Its for a woman who is sexually confident, who isn't afraid to be emotional in my opinion and embraces all that life offers. My flatmate adored this on me, she would come into my room and always go straight to the bottle and sniff it the entire time when she'd talk to me. She even would tell me when she smelt someone wearing it. I was sad when i heard it was discontinued and D&G brought out THE ONE. In my opinion Sicily is the best scent that D&G has. Its a classic.

Got this one about two years ago, and I just couldn't handle it. It was either too sharp, or too soapy, or too "offensive". And than, couple of months ago, I smelled Sicily on my brother's girlfriend, and I just couldn't get over how great that perfume was! And I thought to myself - I have this perfume, and I'm not using it. Why? It was warm, but mildly citrusy, sexy and provocative. Just perfect evocation of beautiful Sicily, and Mediterrian too.

On my skin, Sicily smells of coconut, like an Indian hair oil. In the bottle, it's perfect, sunny, warm, sexy, it has all the attributes.
But it smells better in the bottle and I am so sorry. :(

sicily

a very soft, but intense, feminine, passionate with a certain simplicity, extremely seductive scent, longlasting, sweet but in a very warming manner.
eau de parfum for special occasions.
an evocation of femineity, embodiment of the fragrance, by a full-blooded italian woman: monica belucci.
perfect all the year. still - it has its own character, which is surely not a mainstream "fashionable" gimmick.
i love it.

This has the bones of being a classic fragrance with its sandalwood, musk and floral combination. I read the descriptions and think I should like it but then I apply some and then it all goes wrong. When this lingers in a room, it is politely engaging without being overwhelming. Indeed when it is smelled on others one is overcome with the need to know exactly what it is they are wearing. It should have stopped here with me but instead I procured some and my adoration for this fragrance has come to a shuddering halt.

I'm still bewildered by this because it smells so good on others and when sprayed in the air. On me it smells old, stale and dated. I think it is the aldehydes because Chanel No. 5 also works terrible with my chemistry.

This is italian glamour!
I love it, boyfriend goes wild when I pull this baby out. I only use it when it's really warm outside though.
There is lot's of aldehydes that are a bit powdery and citrusy. The drydown is creamy with just enough sweetness to it. Superfeminin and classic.

This is a wonderful fragrance. I owned and wore it one summer and it brings back great memories. Like a few other people here I found it very clean and soapy, with beautiful white flowers. It's a rich, strong perfume, not for the faint hearted or someone who wants to blend in. With the right body chemistry it blends in and creates something very warm and sexy. I agree it is the best of the D&G fragrances.

nothing in common with Chanel no 5, which I truly dislike! I dont think it is for me though
could almost be unisex in the top notes!

i really wanted to love sicily, but it is not for me. it is very fresh and sweet while maintaining a vibrant but warm feel. as i sat there trying to talk myself into enjoying it, i figured out the problem. sicily smells so much like fruity baby foods. no. no, thank you.

Yum. At first smell, the bergamot and citrus was evident. Didn't take long for it to die down to a more mellow flavor - one that had a masculine tang to it like a scent of an old boyfriend. After about an hour, the fragrance evolved to a more suble, slighly sweet like honey with a bit of musk.

Classic, Clean and Feminine. Oh and Unforgetable! I must say I wasn't a big fan at first. It was simply a nice clean citrus smell but after wearing it a while, I really started enjoying the creamy citrus. And, I can smell the heliotrope flowers. I love heliotrope! Add to that bergamot, honeysuckle, jasmine, sandlewood and a light musk and it equals an exquisite creamy citrus. I truly enjoy Sicily. A lot of notes get lost within a citrus scent but not here. Just the right amount so you aren't mistaken for a guy! It's pleasant, mild yet there. I read on one review it was too strong. I don't find it to be strong at all. It's lasting but not strong to me. One of the few Dolce & Gabbana scents I like. Sicily is definitely on my wish list!

Hands down my favorite scent from Dolce & Gabbana. Unfortunately, it never worked on my skin. It's the scent of creamy skin, freshly washed with fine citrusy soap and warmed by the sun. Lovely.

Sicily is a lovely fragrance, a one of a kind type scent and for the life of me I cannot understand why this has been discontinued.

My immediate reaction to this fragrance was that it reminded me of a banana flavoured milkshake. The scent is soft, feminine, sweet and somewhat powdery.

Sicily is flowery, but not in a predictable sense. The honeysuckle, banana and frangipani notes gives this fragrance an exotic feel which is undeniably attractive. I honestly have never smelt anything like this before.

I enjoyed every aspect of this scent. From the tropical and fruity opening, to the delicate floral blend and nutty undertones in the heart, to the musky yet soapy drydown, all parts were breath-taking. Another added bonus is the fantastic lasting strength.

Along with the signature D&G for women fragrance, this is my favourite offering from Dolce & Gabbana.

I love this fragrance and i had it. it smells fresh and soapy, when u wear it you feel at ease and clean, it's floral too, but not too much (i dislike too floral fragrances, they give me headache). it lasts the whole day on your skin and on your clothes and eveybody appreciate it!
the thing i most love in this fragrance is
that when you wear it it seems the natural smell of your skin and not just a perfume. perfect in every time of the day and the year!! I love it!

Sicily will always be a part of my perfume collection...is one of my favorites...:)
The first time i try it i felt in love with this oriental, warm, incensy perfume ! Bcz i am more than sure that it contains incense !

I don't feel the bananna note at all...
All i can feel is a deep classy scent !

When it came out back in 2003- autumn, it was like nothing i have smelled before !
So beautiful and different , so smoky and a bit dark ...

Sicily it's more an autumn-winter fragrance to me...I wonder how is it in the summer (must try it)...

This perfume is for special evenings,smoky, powdery, sophisticated, feminine and sexy...long lasting...so italian...great fragrance;)

lucifera (strange name isn`t?)! I think I can explain your problems with this scent. very important to find a correct time of year for this fragrance. Someone talks that it is a hot summer (for me it`s really true), and someone like Sicily in moist weather. My bottle was made in Italy before the Procter & Gamble times of Dolce&Gabbana. I think it`s very important too.

It is unforgetable scent.I dont smell any fruit though(exept a hint of sicilian bergamot).The top notes are honeysuckle(a very delicate aroma)and hyacinth.I smell flowers at heart(jasmine, roses) and praline.I have so many years to wear it but still remember the feeling wearing it.So delicious and confident.I am redheaded and i definately think that the color of hair doesnt have to do anything with the aroma.If it had,then only women like Monica Belucci would have woren it?

Aww this is pure baby powder on my skin, it is soft, romantic, innocence, I really adore Sicily. What really attracts me the most is the banana note which is not very commonly used in fragrances, most likely this was the main reason why I purchased Sicily, I was just curious about the banana mixed with flowers, musk, nutmeg, and sandalwood, OMG I’m thinking about dessert while writing this. Just Yummy!

A very fresh & clean "white" scent without being in any way aquatic or too green. The more I sample it the more I like its minimalistic qualities.

Yes, there is a lot of white soap (less Dove, more the fine, handmade variety) but it is much more than just a perfume of washing powder!

On my skin I find a delightful scent of warmed lawn daisies - fresh, without being in any way sharp. I only find the tiniest waft of green bananas & the flowers all meld into one to create the most gentle of florals.

There is a nice metallic edge, thanks to the nutmeg & all the notes are bedded deeply into the whitest, softest of duvets that is heliotrope. It is as if you view this scent through a sheet of cotton voille - all the scents are present, but hazily so. That said, this is no weak scent & it will stick with you for most of the day.

A classic - unique!

(Please note that I am one of 'those' who don't get Chanel No5...& yet I will happily wear Sicily).

I must update my comment since I got a new botle of sicily EDP and now I think it's absolutely beautiful. This is how taste and mood changes:)
OK, it doesn't show its beauty at the moment you spray it on, it's too honey-like and heavily soapy then, but the drydown is warm, sensual and really classy. Now I understand why people associate Sicily with Chanel No5. There is a real resemblance, but Sicily is definetely a modern classic for today's women, soft, subtle, expensive-like and elegant. It worth a try, but don't mind if it's just not for you:)

The moment "Sicily" touches my skin it instantly reminds me of the beautiful classic Chanel N°5. Since I already own Chanel N°5 I was a bit scared that "Sicily" might be just "another" Chanel N°5.

However, after the fragrance has warmed up, the sweet aroma of banana evolves….warm and very tender.
Yes, it is a bit soapy, but this quickly disappears. After a while it settles close to the skin…..mainly leaving a very beautiful trace of soft banana and jasmine……

It seems that the fragrance has not a big and strong sillage. However, whenever I move or walk…it is clearly there!...

"Sicily" is a soft whisper and a sweet, warm promise of something delicious yet to come…..like a secret love affair…;-)

I feel feminine, sexy and still very classy while wearing this….could easily become my new signature scent.

I tried a sample of this fragrance today, and all I really noticed was the banana and a sweet soapiness. It has a warmness about it, but the whole perfume did not seem to last very long on me - less than one hour. The composition sounds wonderful from the notes and reviews listed, but perhaps it just doesn't work with my skin chemistry, or maybe I just didn't have enough to apply to get the whole effect.

I love this, wore it for my wedding. It's one that I shall always go back to. I'm not as good at describing the scent, more the feelings that it gives you which are warm and happy. Try it, you won't be disappointed, and I love the non-fussy packaging.

Sicily has the potential to become my signature scent. It is so very warm and sweet with that lovely smell that reminds me of NIVEA creme. I also get the BANANA note clearly.Very classy and feminin. I can´t wait to try it in harvest/winter as I guess it is too early to wear it now during the hot summer days.It does have a slight powdery touch but it is well balanced.

SiCilY is a perfume that i like alot. Yes, when it fades ,it smells like soap.but inside in it , it has kind of a refreshing touch also.It's not too strong, but it lasts long.I like this one a lot than the D&G The ONE. But this is not the kind of a perfume that I'm looking, which is more gentle,feminine,Refreshing,attractive with mysterious touch..

I wish I never bought this scent, I don't smell any of the individual notes, and I like most of the listed notes quite a bit. I agree with the reviewers who detect "coconut", "soap" and "synthetic"....Never mind the label being a high-end Italian name, D&G should discontinue this one. Che peccato! Io so che sicilia e' un'esperienza sensoriale tanto piu' ricca che questa profuma....

Update: I'm a fool, it is discontinued! Still not my cup of tea, but I'm sure it smells nice on somebody else.

This is a classic femminine perfume but I wouldn't purchase it.It feels
synthetic for my taste.
Maybe a more generous dose of honeysuckle would make it more sincere.
The main problem though is that the drydown is too similar to DK's Cashmere Mist.I have a buying-resistance to lookalikes.

This is another love/hate perfume for me. I was skeptical about trying it, but I recieved many good reviews about it. So, I eventually purchased a bottle. Upon my first spray, it had a really soapy smell. As it dried down, it became more pleasant and I enjoyed the honeysuckle and banana of the top notes. I think it smelled better the longer it settled into my skin. However, when I layered it with the perfumed body lotion, the soapy smell of the lotion overshadowed the perfume. It was horrendous to say the least. If I didn't know any better, I would've sworn I was using shower gel instead of body lotion, because the perfumed body lotion smelled exactly like the shower gel. I wanted to enjoy this fragrance, but it made me sick and I had to return it. While I loved some elements of it, I hated others just as much. Buyers be weary of this one. Don't purchase this solely on the reviews. Try a sample of it first.

For me Sicily is a hot summer in the province: warm and full of sunlight, juicy and sweet like grapes in the late summer, light like a sunset breeze, fresh like getting outdoor shower, passionate like a dark, red, aromatic wine shared with a lover in a lazy afternoon, intoxicating like honeysuckle flowers in the evening.
It suits perfectly on my skin, giving it warm, melted honey feeling. I adore every drop and every note in this scent. It’s a sun in a bottle – not the one in the morning but the sun in the August afternoon, when even the heat has its own spicy aroma.

Fresh. Sexy. Slightly sweet. Yes, I agree it starts off a bit soapy, but that doesn't last long for me. It hugs you with warmth and memories (or evokes wonderful daydreams at the very least). I don't think it's too strong. In fact, it gets quite soft and feminine rather quickly. An absolutely beautiful scent. Unfortunately I don't get any banana, which is what I was actually looking forward to smelling...but's still very loveable IMHO.

I never thought that Sicily would smell like this.to my nose it's a sweet soapy perfume that doesn't remind me Sicily nor Italy at all.
the Floral notes are very strong and there is something extremely sweet in this one.in fact the best word to describe it is:"sweet soap".
I also think it has something to do with narcissus.I also get the strong sweet scent of heliotrope.
it's not bad,but as it's said in description it's an old classic fragrance.it would be suitable for +35 women.

Ultra feminine, crisp, clean (almost soapy), mature, very sexy. It evokes confidence & passion and seems, to me, to be a very "deep" fragrance--a classic hidden beneath the exterior of a modern beauty...or vice versa. It starts off somewhat strong, but it dries down and envelopes you in a soft sensual aroma. You'll either love it or hate it. I, for one, love it. Nice all day long, but perfect for summer evenings/nights. I picture myself in a sexy summer dress, sipping on good quality limoncello on the outdoor patio of a restaurant, overlooking the water, & just quietly enjoying a lovely humid summer night with my love.

I love it, the subtle retro feeling it creates makes me think of italian sex-bomb actresses from the 60ies (but the one from the advertisement will also do ;) ). The dense, honey-like, radiant sweetness of the base is lovely, and I think it's due to the heliotrope and sandalwood, the note that I absolutely adore, but rarely can smell as distinctively as here. The opening may seem a bit soapy, but it's worth to be given a chance! And in this case I actually like it, because this is exactly what makes you think of a beautiful, well-combed Fellini lady in a cocktail dress. But it will probably make some people hate the fragrance.
Sicily reminds me a bit of D&G's Red Cap, probably because of the sandalwood, but it is softer, lighter and sweeter.
Definitely sexy, definitely elegant and definitely Italian.
The bottle is gorgeous in its simplicity.

I absolutely love this one, as I love everything about Italy, it is the scent of this ancient land with its ancient villas and cities, noble, elegant but conserving forever some remnants of its ancient traditions and nostalgy for a glorious past. It is a very uncommon scent, equally precious as the memories of a warm night of a holiday spent in the south years ago, just walking at the seaside and in the narrow lanes of an old Italian city, with snowwhite linen hanging over your head and remembering a lost love..

I love this perfume. Pity it's not a constant item in the D&G perfume range :( Someone should explain to perfume manifacturers that there are confident women below 30 who don't need a constant change of a perfume in the floral fruity olfactive group. Who needs to change one peachy perfume for the other peachy one for diffent price or different bottle? They smell the same. So please, make something also for us, mentaly developed and keep it in the trade. Thank you.

Definitely Sicily has an interesting scent, the scent you keep in your mind. Kind of a candy - I find some likeness to the Gabriele Strehle's perfume Strenesse. Unfortunately on me Sicily is too strong. Who knows, maybe in 10 or 15 years...

I was surprised to see this fragrance rated 33% for winter and only 10% for summer... cuz I love this one the most on hot summer nights and I absolutely can't wear it in winter or spring.
First time I smelled it, I thought it was very soapy, now I just think of Sicilian bergamot with lots of honeysuckle!

Sicily opens a new scent category i think; sweet like candy but not too much, floral but not boring,and it's really fresh!...It smells just like eating bergamot jam with vanilla milk shake in a garden full of orange trees coming into blossom!...
It's not oriental i think,it's just a "sweet- floral-fresh" perfume!

Can't describe the smell of 'Sicily'. Its layered and linear, sweat and spicy as well, but that's doesn't describe this scent. My husband when smelled it said: 'yeah, it smells exactly like painted cupboards in my kindergarten used to smell..' ..well..kind of classy smelling cupboards then..
I think this perfume retains certain class, though smelling a little industrial/paint/wood like..bitter/hot/spicy smell resembling some solvents and paints

I found it a few months ago, years after it being introduced on the market and i think this will be my fragrance!
Special, soft and creamy, stylish, for everyday and for special occasions, feminine and seductive with innocent charm. Long lasting. Distinctive. Some people find it strong but for me has just the right strength. If I knew how i would give it all the balloons possible :).

Such a lush, creamy, powdery and sweet fragrance. And not to much of it, just enough. Really nice and comfortable to wear. Some clean, soapy feeling, but not to much. Could easy be one of the absolute top powdery fragrances. The flowers in it is so light and kond of fluffy... Like imaging an old fashioned powder box with a pink, fluffy powderpuff. Smells gorgeous.

A must try if you in to stuff like Chanel no 5, Iris Poudre, Tocade... I find it as good as them, but in it´s own way.

I decided I had to try this after smelling in on a woman. She smelt so heavenly. I bought it as fast as I could. It was a disapoinment to discover that my body chemistry turns this to a long lasting nagging scrubber. It is like someone has taken dish water and concentrated it to a sweet, dirty perfume. As I said smells great on other women, but I can't bear to carry this. I have to enjoy it on a distance.

The same base of Crystal Noir, therefore, so creamy, with some smell close to coconut.

I bought this perfume (actually my husband took it for me), but the scent is not so strong like tester. So, if you love the scent but you are frightened that is too strong, don't be!It's perfect for cold and cloudy days, a joy to wear it.

I am a fragrance officionado...and I simply must say that this perfume is wonderful...it smells like Caress bath soap...I've always loved that smell. It smells clean, fresh, and feminine. The dry down of course is soapy and a little bit on the coconut side of the scent spectrum.

Yesterday I noticed that Sicily has something in common with Versace "Black Crystal" - the same spicy note arises from the base, can't specify what note it is...

I tried this one many times, but I still can't get it's beauty. Many friends of mine simply love it, on me it's not likeable at all. However, the bottle is really beautiful.

I really love this fragrance,it's exceptional, but whenever i wear it it makes me feel as if i'm gonna cry soon:)) Funny, right? I guess it's the influence of the ad of this fragrance - dark-haired woman with tears in her eyes.Interesting why they created such poster and why it influences me that way:))

This seemed to be 'love at first sniff'...! At the store the powdery soft warmth and freshness made me feel absolutely feminine! Wow! I bought it via Ebay, just the same day.
I spritzed it on, only a week later after receiving it but the whole sensual feeling was gone! I felt the scent smelled very masculine and strong on my skin (??). Tried it the next day and some days after that. Unfortunately no progression here. Really don't know what happened (the bottle was original for sure). Sad, as it really is a wonderful scent! My mother now is absolutely delighted with it....

Sicily recalls sussuro, love the sun, warm and sensual.
It is smooth and delicious fragrance to itself that reminds Italians chords as hibiscus, rose, heliotropio, sandalwood, almiscar.
Mysterious!

This is one of those perfumes that just blow my mind from the first sniff I take. Actually, you know that they have a nice friendship to offer just by seeing them on the shelf. Like an intuitive "click", like you didn't pick it, instead, it picked you.
Sicily is talkative, plentiful, yet nonchalant, reminds me on a beautiful girl lying on a freshly cut hay, bathing in the sun, anticipating the presence of her significant other, right there, near her. It's self-confident, relaxed, in peace with it's strength. Delicious!

Soft, romantic, a fleeting sexy whisper, an ocean breeze, warm, relaxing & soapy clean all rolled up in one. Sophisticated smelling too. My husband say instantly that smelled "expensive & sexy".

The first time I smelled it I fell in love with it and I knew I had to have Sicily! Timeless, classic, soft, sophisticated, Italian, rich and very feminine. Oriental flowers, jasmine, hibiscus, honeysuckle, sexy undertones, it is definitley mysterious, yet it smells clean and expensive. There is nothing loud or overpowering about this scent, it meshes with your skin, and the lasting power is great. I detect some Dove soap here, also reminds me of Sensi (same clean powdery feeling). It is packed in a simple bottle, classic style.

Strong fragrance, not a subtle scent. I imagine a strong, confident woman wearing it. Very distinctive scent. I guess it falls in the category love it/hate it.
