Eau de Toilette
Proteo Profumi Mediterraneum Eau de Toilette is a classic-leaning men's scent that pairs bright citrus with a green, spicy and resinous depth; it has been discontinued.
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. Romeo Gigli Romeo Gigli per Uomo (Eau de Toilette) and Ormonde Jayne Black Gold have a close profile.
