What does Mediterranean Breeze smell like?

It opens on cedarwood and patchouli, a woody, earthy footing. In the heart, rose, jasmine and geranium bring the floral side forward while patchouli keeps running underneath. The base of sandalwood, musk and amber softens and sweetens it, leaving a powdery, resinous warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick autumn and winter, spring is close behind, and summer gets few votes. It leans towards leisure, evening and nights out, with fewer votes for business and daily wear. Réminiscence Ambre (Eau de Toilette) and Perris Monte Carlo Essence de Patchouli have a close profile.
