AGRUMI AMARI DI SICILIA

Bois 1920 presents Agrumi Amari di Sicilia, a unisex Eau de Toilette with a fresh, citrusy character, in 18 ml and 50 ml: a fragrance that bottles the light of a Sicilian summer in a single gesture.

The Fragrance

Agrumi Amari di Sicilia is born as a tribute to Sicily's citrus groves, a land of intense light and clean-cut scents. Bois 1920 doesn't chase the expected sweetness of citrus fruit, but plays up its sharper, more vibrant side: the peel, hand-pressed, rather than the sugary pulp.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is an immediate burst of grapefruit, orange and mandarin, vibrant and faintly bitter, true to the fragrance's name from the very first moment. The heart opens onto petitgrain and lime, a green pairing that adds depth without weighing down the initial freshness. The base settles onto patchouli and musk, a soft, discreet foundation that anchors the composition to the skin and extends its life well past the first hours.

Who We Recommend Agrumi Amari di Sicilia To

A fragrance for those who want a true citrus scent, unsweetened, to wear on warm days or whenever a burst of immediate energy is needed. Suited to anyone who loves fresh fragrances with a base that doesn't fade within the hour, it's ideal for easy everyday wear, at the office as much as on holiday.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

It's one of the most genuine citrus scents we carry: it doesn't try to be anything other than a true citrus fragrance, bitter in just the right measure, and that honesty is exactly what makes it interesting. Anyone expecting the usual sweet, predictable cologne is often surprised by the sharper character of the bitter peel, but it's the kind of surprise that almost always wins people over.

Similar Fragrances

• Citrus Riviera (BDK Parfums) — shares mandarin up top and patchouli and musk in the base, in a more sophisticated, structured take.
• Verde Respiro (Giardini Di Toscana) — shares patchouli and a similar musky base, built instead on a greener, more herbal heart.
• Akigala Mandarino (New Notes) — shares mandarin up top, in a more amber, woody version, less tied to pure citrus.

FAQ

Why is it called Agrumi Amari ("bitter citrus") di Sicilia?
The name recalls the peel of Sicilian citrus fruit, sharper and more vibrant than the sweetness of the pulp: it's that faintly bitter note, typical of freshly pressed grapefruit and orange, that gives the fragrance its character.

When is it best worn?
It's a citrus fragrance made for the warm season and everyday wear, at the office as much as in free time: its immediate freshness makes it a perfect daytime scent, without ever feeling overpowering.

How does it differ from Oltremare, another citrus fragrance in the Bois 1920 collection?
Oltremare plays on a more marine, watery register, with tea and berries in the heart; Agrumi Amari di Sicilia stays true to a more direct, Mediterranean citrus character, with no aquatic notes.
