Sicily

Sicily tends to fly under the radar in RazoRock’s innovative and versatile catalog, but overlooking it would be a mistake. Founder Joseph Abbatangelo has a long-standing love affair with the island of Sicily and set out to create a fragrance that captures the soul of its culture. The result is, without exaggeration, magic in a bottle.

Sicily is a deeply appetizing blend of almond, vanilla, amber, and woods, brightened by a dash of bergamot that adds a zesty, polished lift. The composition hints at an Oriental structure, while the creamy almond and sweet, enveloping vanilla brush up against a Gourmand. The interplay of almond, vanilla, and amber is so rich and dense that it takes on a subtle powderiness, offering faint echoes of a classic Barbershop accord.

There is no denying its connection with Italian confections, but Sicily never collapses into a simple dessert scent. The complexity of the woody base and the citrus sparkle of bergamot keep it firmly anchored in the realm of a refined men’s cologne—albeit one that is undeniably delectable. It captures the charm of a Cella-style almond scent, but with an added layer of elegance and sophistication that makes it equally appropriate for a romantic evening out, a relaxed day at home, or a day at the office. A diamond hiding in plain sight.
