What does Costa Mediterranea (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Grapefruit brings a citrus brightness that meets the sea breeze, while rosemary adds a green, slightly spicy edge. Honeysuckle and dog rose keep the floral side soft, and cedarwood gives it a dry, woody footing. The fougère structure makes the whole thing read clean and orderly.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters suggest summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and office settings lead the occasions. Votes on character split almost evenly between masculine and feminine. Fragrance Du Bois London Spice and Cerchi Nell'Acqua Yubris have a close profile.
