   |  Oh my -- this is terrific stuff -- the almonds and the orange mix gorgeously. The vanilla just enhances the main two players imo. Yeh, yeh it's sweet -- I wasn't expecting burnt tar though. Even so, if you spray really liberally it can be a bit sick inducing for the first hour. A warm, comforting and sexy scent -- how's that for £30.21 July 2009 |
   |  As others have mentioned, I get ice cream, soft serve ice cream and root beer, I have childhood memories of root beer floats after a day in the sun from a beachside dive appropriately called "The Sugar Shack". So in that way it's nice. I love to sniff the bottle, I may even wear it around the house once in awhile as I do with novelty scents but the sweetness is amplified mightily on my skin which renders it inappropriate for normal wear. 18 July 2009 |
 | My favourite from the Blu Mediterraneo line. A very gentle and warm skin scent with vanilla and almonds. Although intentionally subtle, I do wish it made more of a statement. A great comfort scent. [Original submission date: 15 January 2007] 27 June 2009 |

 | No, no. This is not a fragrance for me. To me the almond accord of Blu Mediterraneo Mandorlo di Sicilia has morphed into an almond-bubble gum accord. It’s too cheaply sickly sweet and, well…bubble gummy. Almond is one of my most respected notes—I love it in most of the other almond fragrances I’ve tried, but I don’t care for it as it is done here. Maybe the problem isn’t the almond note alone. I would guess that it’s the vanilla that ruins the almond accord for me. The almond and vanilla and maybe even the peach create a super sweet bubble gummy accord. I’ve had that experience with vanilla in one or two other fragrances before. At any rate, thumbs down on a $62 bottle of bubble gum flavored scent. 18 January 2007 |
  | "Are you wearing Mandorlo di Sicilia or did you just spill cream soda all over yourself?" Better keep talking & moving while wearing this or people will mistake you for a giant vanilla-scented candle. Those always smell cheap and artificial. So does this. 26 December 2006 |
