Arancia di Sicilia

Our journey discovering the most exceptional fragrant jewels of Italy continues
with the most iconic citrus from Sicily: the Orange Sanguinella.
In perfumery the essential oil from bitter oranges carries greater value than that
of more common sweeter vari eties. The Sanguinella Orange is the exception
to the rule due to its exceptionally high quality.
Cultivated on the slopes of Mount Etna, the fruit grown here stands out due to
its intense red colour and complex, aromatic sweetness, it also produces an
exceptional oil which deserves to be considered outstanding.
Since 1880 Capua, a family run company has been acknowledged as the
ultimate producer of citrus essential oils. Here, using two methods of extraction
Capua bring to life the pure essence of this sweet orange. Firstly, the brown
coloured essential oil is extracted from the rind without coming into contact
with the fruit’s juice which will be used for drinks.
The second extraction method takes place when the growing season draws
to a close. The comp lete fruit is passed through a press, blending oil from its
peel together with the juice. Then a sfumatorchio extractor is used to separate
the juice from the slurry and finally centrifuge separates the oil from the juice.
After this complex and skilful pr
ocess these two very different essential oils are
blended together in our new Perris Monte Carlo Arancia Di Sicilia masterpiece,
a tribute to the fruit symbol of Sicily.
Extraordinary fruit created the inspiration to bring Arancia Di Sicilia to life, a
fra grance which fuses the energy and naturalness of citrus with an enveloping
sweetness.
The scent’s heart is enhanced with almond, vanilla and cinnamon, followed
by base notes revealing soft musk and amber then finally the intense aroma of
absolute of coffe e.
Arancia Di Sicilia celebrates the flavours and scents of Sicily, creating the warm
atmosphere of Sicilian mornings, the flavour of invigorating orange juice and
the sweetness of pure candy.
