About the Brand

“Small mandarins shine amid dense green leaves. In the distance stands Etna, its cone white with snow. It is as if the landscape has never changed. But the history of the Mandarin is one of fortuitous migration. One which might have inspired Italian artist Franco Battiato to write a song set between East and West: a Chinese nobleman arrived in Sicily in the early 1800s, settling on the island…”
Mandarin is a complex citrus fruit. In the cycle from flower to unripe fruit and full ripeness, its perfumes change. By recreating it in its entirety while removing any source of interference, we paid homage to this gift from Sicily.

We would never have succeeded without innovation, without new extraction techniques that worked more closely with tradition than ever before. Mandarino Di Sicilia has three unique fractions of essential oils; first from the green mandarin, a delicate and volatile oil that becomes heavier in the second transition and the third essential oil rounds off to a yellow mandarin.

The olfactory experience is exhilarating. Like living through all four seasons at once: the flower, the green leaf, the peel with its semi-bitter notes and the sweet flesh. Completing the bouquet are Jasmine, Geranium and Amber. The result is a powerful fragrance that transports us to Sicily: on a beautiful sunny day, the sunbeams warm the fruits and release their sweet, heady perfume…

Born in 2011 from the extensive experience of Gian Luca Perris, the Perris
Monte Carlo brand expresses an idea of luxury based not on appearance, but on the quality of craftsmanship.

The passion for bringing back the true art of perfumery is the brainchild of the manifestation of the brand Perris Monte Carlo.

Founded in Milan in 1981, The Perris Group is headquartered in the Principality of Monaco and today operates in over 50 countries around the world. The Group specializes in promoting both premium and niche brands.
The Perris family has been dedicated to the beauty sector for half a century.
With passion and expertise, it creates a range of successful products, launching
and marketing them internationally. The real core of the company is, however,
perfume. A passion for which has been handed down, and taken new forms,
within the family.

"I first envisaged Perris Monte Carlo while I was traveling. Looking back, I don’t know where exactly I was. Perhaps in the Middle East, when I was searching for the essence of roses. Or maybe while I was walking through the lavender fields of Provence.

What really matters though is the reason behind that first idea. And the reason is simple. I realized that I had the privilege of experiencing the traditional world of perfumes, which is still very much alive today. That I had been able to learn from great masters. That by observing their work, I was privileged to be a direct heir to a wonderful tradition. And I didn’t want all this tradition to be lost.

Bringing the wonders of the culture of perfumes to today’s world – a world so often focused on the here and now – was a considerable endeavor. It was necessary to consider not only the essences themselves, but also how we can educate others about one’s sense of smell, so that everyone can appreciate them.
