What They Say: "The sophisticated world of Acqua di Parma with its impeccable and understated refinement, presents Blu Mediterraneo: a collection of products whose noble ingredients create the link between essences and emotions, awakening pleasant feelings of well-being. Capri, ever glamorous, fashionable and cosmopolitan, is the star of many films. It is the very essence of delightful idleness and relaxed exclusive rituals. The qualities of the (Arancia) - Capri Orange are based on the soothing properties of the perfectly blended essential oils of orange, lemon and tangerine.

Lisa Says: Of the four fragrances comprising the Blu Mediterraneo Collection (Arancia, Cypresso, Mandorlo and Fico) I was given Arancia to review. It is, indeed, cosmopolitan, sparkling yet not over done and a versatile fragrance in this reviewer's opinion. Top notes of Sorrento orange, tangerine and grapefruit are so refreshing and light in the August heat, while base notes of caramel and musk give the citrus some "cling" to the skin without being heavy. Heart notes of Petitgrain, cardamom and mate leaves tie top and base notes together beautifully without being too "woodsy". These lovely core notes marry the brightness of the citrus with the warmth of the caramel and musk creating a light but sensual scent .

I really fell in love with this fragrance and can't seem to find anything similar amongst my growing collection on the vanity. It initially goes on with a citrus that's more tangerine or, perhaps it's the "zest" of the citrus that the nose notices first. It dries down to a soft, powdery lemon fragrance - something akin to lemonade but not overly sweet thanks to the musk and petitgrain. The difference between the two is what makes this such a lovely and versatile fragrance. During the day I felt that Arancia was refreshing and cooling, by dinner it was lovely, romantic and warm. I'm really enjoying it now but I can also imagine this fragrance around late fall. Perhaps it's the blend of orange and spice and caramel when it dries down. My little tester bottle is already long empty but is on the list to be replaced with a larger size.
