What does Mediterraneum (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, Amalfi lemon, bergamot and lavender, while tarragon and aldehydes add a green, slightly sparkling edge. In the heart, fir, geranium and fern keep the green going, with jasmine, rose and cinnamon bringing a floral, spicy softness. It dries down to amber, sandalwood, vanilla and patchouli, leaving a sweet, woody, powdery and faintly animalic base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter far behind; it leans towards leisure and daily wear, though night out and business also get votes. Most see it as masculine. Giorgio for Men and Romeo Gigli per Uomo have a close profile.
