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.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Think of a slow breakfast with an espresso beside orange-filled pastries: bright citrus meeting roasted bitterness and a soft, sweet finish. This is an appetising, companionable fragrance, suited to unhurried conversation at close quarters rather than a sharply formal entrance.
How to wear
Try it in mild weather or on cooler days, when the candied orange and warm base can feel especially inviting. Start with one or two sprays on skin; in heat, use a lighter hand to keep the almond, coffee and amber from outweighing the citrus. Test before adding more.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy citrus with sweetness and texture rather than a brisk cologne character. Candied-orange lovers and wearers drawn to almond, coffee and softly powdery orris will find a bridge between fruit-led freshness and warm gourmand perfumery.

The nose
Gian Luca Perris combines fragrance creation with the creative direction of Perris Monte Carlo. His approach centres on distinctive raw materials and the extraction techniques that reveal their nuances, building compositions around the character of a chosen essence. For Arancia di Sicilia, he paired two blood-orange extractions to capture both peel and fruit, then developed the composition around associations with breakfast orange juice and Sicilian sweets.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo places raw materials and extraction craftsmanship at the centre of its identity. The house combines traditional perfumery with technical research, favouring focused compositions that showcase an essence rather than luxury defined by appearance. Its Italy Collection explores this approach through regional citrus and Italian landscapes.
Arancia di Sicilia’s concept
Arancia di Sicilia began with Sicilian sanguinella blood orange and two complementary extractions developed by citrus specialist Capua. One preserves the character of the peel; the other brings a fruitier dimension. Perris built this contrast into a composition inspired by orange juice and Sicilian pastries, while the house’s accompanying narrative evokes citrus groves against Mount Etna’s dark volcanic rock.
Extra info
Arancia di Sicilia won the award for best artistic fragrance from an independent brand at the 2020 Accademia del Profumo awards. Its signature orange accord combines two extractions, bringing together peel-derived oil and a fruitier oil separated from juice.
