What does Mediterraneo (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and it is mostly worn for daily use, leisure and the office. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.

It opens with bergamot, lemon, litsea cubeba, eucalyptus and corn mint, a cool, sharp and airy start. In the heart, green tea, cardamom, mandarin orange and jasmine make it a little fruity, lightly sweet and spicy. White musk in the base softens it all.
