What does Macchia Mediterranea smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. It reads mostly masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine.

It opens with orange, grapefruit, Amalfi lemon and bergamot, a bright citrus start. In the heart, fig, watermelon, jasmine and green notes add a fruity, floral freshness. Woody notes, musk and amber gently round out the base. Boadicea the Victorious Oxford and Molinard Les Amoureux de Peynet have a close profile.
