Arancia di Sicilia by Perris Monte Carlo £133.33
- Key notes:
- blood orange
- orris (iris root)
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- woody
A delectable candied orange perfume featuring blood orange sourced from Sicily, coffee absolute and amber.
As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world.
For Arancia de Sicilia, they picked the iconic citrus of Sicily: orange sanguinella (the blood orange). Normally, the essential oil from bitter oranges is more valued than oil of the common, sweeter varieties. However, the sanguinella orange cultivated on the slopes of Mount Etna is the exception to this rule because of its complex, refined aroma. Blood oranges in this perfume have been extracted by a family-run company in Capua, who have been operating since 1880. They use two traditional methods of extraction. One is to obtain the brown-coloured essential oil from the rind, without touching the fruit pulp which will be used for drinks. The second method takes place when the growing season draws to a close. The entire fruit is passed through a press, blending oil from its peel with the juice. Then a sfumatorchio extractor is used to separate the juice from the pulp, and finally a centrifuge separates the oil from the juice.
Perris blends essential oils from both methods to magically recreate the summer in Sicily with its oranges, strong coffee and sweet patisserie treats.
