Acqua di parma Blue Mediterraneo - Mirto di Panarea

Opening notes: Strong herbal and citric notes, but settles quickly. An initial whiff of saponin could be deemed off-putting in the store if you try it on paper; it is certainly worth five minutes of waiting. The citrus settles nicely into lasting top notes of bergamot and lemon oil that I still get, although a bit more subdued, after three hours. Middle notes/settling: The soapiness is not prominent for more than a couple of minutes, but it takes 15 minutes before it is gone. After that, this is a lovely scent. Very realistic Mediterranean maquis, with the herbacity notes of thyme and the savoury base notes of rosemary. Rose and jasmine is also detectable, but keeping in the background. Base notes: Juniper is never prominent, and generally the woodiness is just a quiet backdrop. After four hours, middle notes are still leading – but you do get some cedar and pine close up. Performance: Nice performance, I like that it tones down rather than changes character after a few hours. As you mostly get from Italian colonias, there is three hours top performance. You can easily add a few hours more by doubling the amount, but in my opinion this is not the kind of fragrance you do that with. I still have an arm's length of projection after five hours, having had one spray on the wrist. Using more/stronger than that I find inconsiderate. After the same five hours, most top and middle notes are faded, leaving more space for the floral and woody notes, but it still carries its signature. Occasions: Certainly summer, and those times you just wish to use a natural smell. It seems that some reviewers get a lot of saponin/soapy associations, but I could not say for how long time they think they smell that, to me it fades quickly (I tested next to a similar fragrance where the saponin remained prominent for way longer). Projection and sillage is easily regulated with the amounts you use, so you can use this as discretely in your leisure time as you want to, anyone can use this for that purpose. For bigger socialising occasions, parties etc. I would say it is not quite my style, because in a noisy environment with many people and many different odours to take in, it is not something you fall for immediately. But sitting down for dinner next to the right person, it could still be the perfect choice. Thoughts: A unisex fragrance for sure, EDIT: I must have had some woody remains on my skin from oud testing on the first effort: It is too feminine for me, but younger males can probably accept it. At any rate, it is an invigorating, fantastic scent.. It is so naturalistic and special that I could even use this only to get olfactory memories of summer (writing this on a chilly autumn day). I recommend a decant to try a couple of times before you buy.

Oh my goodness, this FRAGRANCE. So, I've been trying to find a replacement for Dior Escale a Pondichery for years now since it was discontinued. I received an Acqua di Parma sample set for Christmas, and WHAT DO I FIND. They were so similar I had both of their note breakdowns listed side by side, trying to figure out why they smell so similar- turns out they're both created by the same Perfumer! I'm in LOVE. First of all, I recommend trying this on paper and letting it dry down for a day and then smell it- because the drydown is where this perfume SINGS. The heart of it- the sweet jasmine, the lilac- that's what you're left with. I'm surprised many consider this masculine since the drydown is so floral, but I digress. It's slightly more soapy in the onset with the amber but it's done masterfully. Slightly mineral and salty- very much like slightly sweet florals next to the seaside. It also is very similar to Coco Noir- you can see the similarities easily, but the drydown for this is far better. Also not sure what people are saying about poor sillage- this isn't quite beast mode but 24 hours later on paper is still quite strong. Also reminiscent of Walk the Sea by Kerosene- but that leans more into the marine/aquatic notes and this dries down floral.

A bright, fresh lemon with a fresh green herbal background. It is quite soapy considering this is a fresh and easy breezy aromatic. But that is not negative at all, it’s almost like a freshly squeezed lemon right before you add the water and sugar to make the most delicious lemonade. The lemon is actually pretty realistic with that green zest to it. And the fragrance is herbal in that effortless way, and it’s quite hard to pick it apart and tell you exactly what it is that makes the herbal, it just is. It is like driving in a cabriolet along the Mediterranean coast with the sun warming your skin to that perfect temperature. With large sunglasses and uplifting music on the radio. You smell the ocean breeze and bushes, lemon trees and light florals. With that in mind, I cannot say that this is anything else than a unisex fragrance. A perfect summer scent, and even though it is a citrus herbal scent it has a surprisingly good longevity. I have gotten up to 7 hours several of the times I have tried this on. And that makes the price point pretty good when it delivers like that. Though, I have to say that I have a thing for herbal citrus scents, but this is really up there!

They say the best fragrances are the ones that (even if you haven't smelled it before) can transport you to a specific place or time. This fragrance transports me to a time in my childhood when I lived in Albania. I remember my brother, a buddy, and myself riding our bikes up the Dajti mountain to a small lake during the summer. We had to ride up for 35 minutes, then throw our bikes on our shoulders and climb downhill for 10 minutes to get to the lake. As we walked with bikes in tow, the mountain herbs crushed under our feet. Our bikes would brush against the bushes and shrubs. This smell reminds me of those times. The smell of the herbs hitting my nostrils are what this reminds me of. Its a very very natural smelling fragrance. I dont know if I love this so much because of the emotions or because it is trully mass appealing. Performance is better than most in the ADP Blue Mediterraneo line. If you usually spray 4-5 sprays, go with 6 or 7 with this one. If I wear it as a bed scent I only use 3. Very soothing. Highly recommend this fragrance. Let it grow on you though if you dont like the first blast.

This was the first fragrance that introduced me to the house of Acqua di Parma, over ten years ago, during a visit to the Duomo in Milan. A friend asked me to pick up this scent because it was not available in Thailand at the time—and even in Europe, it was relatively hard to find. One single sniff was enough; I fell in love instantly and ended up buying an extra bottle for myself. Main notes: Myrtle, Basil, Lemon, Pink Rose Apple (Wax Apple), Sea Breeze This fragrance transports you straight to the Mediterranean coast. It opens with bright, clean myrtle and lemon, lifted by fresh green basil. A delicate, slightly juicy sweetness of pink rose apple drifts in softly, like a gentle breeze passing through a seaside fruit garden. The dry-down is enriched by a subtle sea breeze accord, adding a light saline nuance and a deeply relaxing feeling—like sitting on a wooden terrace, gazing out at the sea on a warm afternoon. Mood: Relaxed, fresh, uplifting, and full of life. Perfect for holidays or hot weather, when you want to feel refreshed, natural, and effortlessly carefree.

En mi infancia mis padres tenían una casa muy cerca de la playa. Mi madre tenía en el patio de la casa un árbol de limones, de mandarinas, una planta de albahaca y un rosal cerca Cuando la brisa marina llegaba con el viento el aroma del árbol del limón se conjugaba con esta y recuerdo aquel aroma como el de mis alegrías, mis juegos, risas y grandes momentos de mi infancia. Cuando pude oler este perfume inmediatamente me trasladó a esos años. A ese aroma de cítricos con un punto marino en el aire, a la rosa del jardín de mi madre y a la planta de albahaca que regamos juntos. No dudé en comprarlo. Para mí esto es maravilloso El cítrico jabonoso con las notas marinas, la rosa y esa nota algo amarga y herbal que me imagino es el mirto me hacen sentir muy bien. Perfume hermoso, limpio y muy usable. Lastima la duración y proyección :( pero no me importa reaplicar cada 3-4 horas. Entró a mi top de por vida este perfume y no creo que nada lo mueva.

Parfumes sometimes serve as time machines reviving old memories and getting us back to the proximity of places and people that are long gone. That is what this little gem did for me and I’m so grateful and taken by the memories right now. It reminds me summers spent at my grandparents house, my grandma grew myrtle around the place and when I spray it, it immediately brought back these times of careless childhood, fresh summer vibe of holidays, adventures and fun. It reminded me my grandma’s cooking, us playing cards in the afternoon and so many other memories. It is a unique zesty smell, myrtle lending some green, almost oily quality to the fragrance. As with all the Blue line EdTs, it is lighter and requires reapplication throughout the day. I find it a bit more masculine than the Fico Di Amalfi that I own and love as well. I will make it my signature scent for hot days this summer.

This was a blind buy on an airplane on my way to a vacation. I forgot to pick out and bring a scent with me and decided that I couldn't go wrong with Acqua Di Parma, especially with a name like "Blu Mediterranean." Then, on my first spray, I was a bit disappointed. As someone who likes floral perfumes with a hint of earth/wood notes, at first I thought this scent was too masculine for my taste. However, I wore this for an extended two months vacation in the summer, and it grew on me and now I love how distinctive this scent is. It is unlike any other scent and really stands on its own. This scent is part of an outfit for me. This scent completes my look in a summer vacation: white linen button down shirt, navy blue shorts, brown leather sandals and a 3-4 sprays of this on my wrists and neck and I'm good to go to the beach or walk around in gothic quarters in Barcelona.

Mirto di Panarea for me is the true consolidation of a Mediterranean summer, herbaceous but fresh and very close to the coast. The energizing output of lemon and bergamot provides an impressive state of brightness and lucidity. I have found few fragrances with such a pleasant glow for when it is so hot (here in the Mediterranean, a sometimes humid and annoying heat). It is the myrtle, an aromatic plant with green tones that crowns the fragrance with a unisex and revitalizing scent, it combines wonderfully with the marine notes, this provides exquisite pleasure and is a perfect aroma to enjoy in coastal areas, on vacation, after the beach, to eat by the sea...In short, an aroma that is greatly enjoyed. To finish off its woody dose with cedar, it gives it elegance, something important, in this way Mirto di Panarea dresses whoever wears it magnificently, with solidity.

Out of this line, I am so happy my husband gave me mirtle di Panarea ! Starts really fresh with an almost drinkable spritz of juicy lemons , myrtle and bergamot. This start is very refreshing indeed ! Soon enough it gets deeper and as in many perfumes jumps right at the woody base. I o w I have a hard time finding peace at the jasmine and rose middle...where is it ? The sea notes came out nice and not aquatic but like a fresh salty wind at any coast. The cedar amber jumiper base is aromatic woody and fresh ! This whole line is great but needs to be tested on skin cause I think almost all of them are unisex and if you don't like the male touch in some perfumes ...you might not like these either.. One of them is def. on the female side wich is- mandorlo di Sicilia also very nice ! The lovely circular deep blue bottles are classy and gorgeous..too

Quite a banger of a unisex fragrance. The basil and oceanic touch really stands out to me, like a tall chilled glass of lemon soda with basil in the sweltering weather. Otherwise, it feels like a pricier version of CK One, as they share a couple of top, middle and bottom notes (we can get CK One at very discounted prices here in Hong Kong, say 150 HKD / 19 USD and Mirto di Panarea is 850 HKD / 108 USD both for 100ml). The jasmine and rose emerging as it settles onto the skin is pleasant. Very briefly do I get hints of soapiness like Ghost in the Shell by Etat Libre D’Orange around 30-40 minutes after spraying. It’s a light, airy and citrusy scent perfect for summer and year round if you prefer wearing something lighter. It’s got intimate projection and weak longevity, so that’s something to take into consideration given its price point.

I've been testing all the fragrances in the Blu Mediterraneo line with 5ml bottles. Was so enamoured by Fico di Amalfi and Arancia di Capri, until I came to this bottle. This one just knocked it out of the park for me. I don't know why but I've fallen really hard for this fragrance. I'm not good at describing notes but best I can say is that it's all fresh and comforting. And it lasts on me for at least six hours. I wish I knew which note exactly gives me so much joy - it might be the myrtle but I just have no idea what myrtle actually smells like. I wore it on a hot 32 degrees afternoon in Singapore and the fragrance just seemed to bloom in the heat, rising up up fresh and clean. I do get that soapy scent some reviewers have described but when you live in a city like this, where it gets so stiflingly hot, it's quite welcomed!

Is this what heaven smells like?! This fragrance is everything I want a scent to be. And mind you, I love a perfume that isnt in everybodys face when you enter a room. I want that only I and the people close to me can smell it, or when I pass by someone. Fresh (without being soapy), realistic and smelling it just brings me absolute joy and happiness! It's like taking a walk through a fresh juniper forest with a citrus edge to it. Instantly brings you to an Italian summer. Despite of that, I find that this is suitable for every season and every occation. 10000/10 and this is a fragrance that I compare every new fragrance to, and after getting this I feel like I have a hard time falling in love with other scents. I doubt if I am ever able to find anything close to this perfection.

Já fiz uma resenha bem ruim sobre esse perfume e estou aqui de novo para fazer uma melhor com minha nova opinião. Ao longo do tempo com esse perfume fui começando a gostar muito dele, torna-se viciante! No inicio acredito que não gostei muito da Murta dele,mas agora estou amando! Faz uma combinação muito boa com o limão, a bergamota.. O manjericão e o cedro também dão uma outra cara para o perfume, para mim lembra um pouco um cheiro de sauna no melhor sentido, um dia bem claro, com um solzão, sem nuvens no céu, onde você vai para um passeio de barco! Literalmente isso que sinto com esse perfume, uma delícia! Hoje dou uma nota 8,5/10. Fixação EM MIM que não tenho problema com fixação com certeza dura mais que 8 horas. Se não gostou desse perfume, de outras chances a ele!

Another absolutely divine fragrance from AdP.; a vacation to the beaches of Cinque Terre in a bottle. Gender-neutral, unique yet easy to love, fresh and sophisticated. The top for me reads as lime and basil (perhaps the lime comes from the combo of lemon and myrtle, i admittedly have no idea what myrtle smells like...) Then the rose and jasmine come through, balanced by the woody sharpness of the basenotes. The website says "a heart develops with aromas of jasmine, rose and green lilac, which meet sea breeze and black currant leaves." I definitely smell the sea breeze, but again have no idea what black currant leaves smell like...In short, this perfume is a total winner. And at $75 for 5ML from the fragrance discounters, a total no-brainer.

A beautiful, floral, ethereal, soft, slightly sweet opening. Dries down to a soapy, soft, floral, natural, high quality scent...not too much development, but lovely all the same. Can't say it's unique or innovative, but it's a fantastic version of it's genre. Leans feminine, but considering a full bottle. Comparing it side by side with Ginepro di Sardegna, which is a sweeter, smokier, zestier scent. I think I prefer Mirto, but they are different types. Very nice. Update: After wearing this all day, I love it but wonder when and where I would wear this. Might be a bit too feminine for me to wear in public, but would be nice on a relaxing Sunday while reading at home. Scent: 8.5-9, Longevity: 7.5, Overall: 8.5

My mother, an asthmatic who generally hates perfume, actually likes this one on me. The best way to describe this would be a sharp, spicy scent (citrus, herbals, and water notes all come through and are noticeable) that manages to not be overpowering. It's a little more unisex than I'm used to, but I like it a lot and wouldn't consider it too masculine. It does have something of a sporty/energetic feel to it, something you would wear before or after working out. That's not a bad thing at all, in fact it's sort of sexy. It's good for when you want to smell good without creating a headache-inducing "perfume cloud", since it sits fairly close to the skin. Very nice overall, definitely a favorite.

Yet another feather in the cap of Demachy, this is a beautiful masculine. A tart, crisp, light, easygoing, sunny cologne, this personifies the carefree gent who is comfortable in his skin. The lemony zing and bracing myrtle are tamed by soft florals and an aquatic background. Much, much better than Light Blue -- I'd pick this every single time over that (and it's also a very nice fragrance, mind you). Smells very natural, elegant and office-appropriate. Highly recommend this superlative citrus aromatic to men aged 35+. EDIT: The pricing on this is a steal. Easily available at the discounters, this is the perfect mindless reach - daily driver that you can never go wrong with.

I used to own this and loved to spray it liberally in the summertime, it makes you feel like you just got out of the shower! UNISEX 100% and some might say leans like 1% toward the masculine side of unisex. But it's also great for us gals who love refreshing green and citrus fragrances. Super clean, herbaceous, and refreshing. I've just discovered a similar fragrance at a much lower price point: Tilleul Cédrat by Fragonard. These two share some notes like lemon and cedar. In the dry down of both, you really pick up the cedar and lemon that they have in common. This summer I may have to get myself some Mirto for old times sake and then do a side by side comparison.

This is one of those fragrances that has a ton of stuff going on, but is so well blended that you experience it as one cohesive whole. On initial spray, I get a blast of citrus, particularly bergamot. Within seconds, the other notes begin to emerge to balance the citrus out, with the juniper being most noticeable. At arm’s length, I get whiffs of fruity floral, but when I put my nose up to my skin, the scent becomes aromatic and woody, with a bit of soapiness. Aromatic notes don’t always work well on me, but here I find it’s just the right amount to make the fragrance warm and interesting, without drowning out the other facets of the fragrance.

This is my first ADP perfume. I wasn't too enthusiastic to try initially as I felt that there were overpriced cologne. But Mirto di Panarea changed my mind completely. Strong projection? Nope. Great longevity? Not really. But I really enjoy wearing this perfume. It's a lovely scent that calms me down and always make me feel so relaxed and comforted. It reminds me of beautiful moments like you are strolling down the beach with a nice soft breeze. In fact, I love to put it on at night as it helps me sleep peacefully. Overall a charming perfume that proves that beast mode isn't always a pre-requisite. Blind buy worthy and a 9/10

Mirto di Panarea is the other AdP scent that has wowed me, along with Cipresso di Toscana. Maybe I'll tie them both in first place from this house. MdP is green, mild, and hardly blue (the sea notes in heart), but suits warm weather just fine. Office safe, works just as well in if you're wearing it to a formals occasion as it does for a shorts/chinos by a beachside cafe. While inoffensive, I wouldn't say it's a safe blind buy, try a sample before you commit to larger bottle. Performance isn't great being an EDC but 1-2hrs on it's there as a skin scent up to 5hrs, so it's close to many EDTs and even some EDPs.

Mirto di Panarea: This is a gorgeous soft, clean and herbal scent that is very light and aromatic with a subtle marine touch. It's summer and maybe spring, this won't work in the cold. As is the case with most Acqua di Parmas the performance isn't great but it's the strongest of the Blu Mediterraneo line on my skin, also all AdPs have incredible quality and are the most realistic scents I've ever come across. This is good for fresh out the shower before heading to lunch in the Italian countryside. Top notes: Soapy myrtle, basil, lemon Middle notes: Sea notes, jasmine Base notes: Juniper, amber, cedar 4.5/5

Beautiful opening with lemon, myrtle and a bit of juniper. Weirdly, it seemed to disappear entirely from my skin 30 minutes after the opening. But an hour later it’s back, though faint, as a pleasant fresh herbal impression with all the notes melded seamlessly together. Longevity is questionable to weak, which is too bad because I really love this very unisex fragrance. Update: I recently bought the rollerball version and found it outperforms the spray. This will never be a beast, but I can get at least a couple of hours with the rollerball, and it’s easy to carry around to refresh.

Rose is a perfect addition to the myrtle note, which is equally like a flower stem and a citrus peel. The green facet of rose, as if it magically grew there, between the other shrubs on the coast, mixed with persistent and somehow primordial sea breeze. I can also smell strong juniper and some creamy soapiness from a distance. Mirto easily speaks summer and sun, but would work under cloudy skies, too: it is more of a location than a season. There's an interplay going on between roughness and subtlety. Me, I can never get tired of smelling shrubs and trees growing near the sea.

It's like lots of Myrtle floating in a bath of fresh, sweet lemon-lime juice that someone has dropped a clean white bar of soap into. Meanwhile, the bathroom is filled with clean, cool sea breezes blowing in from a large open window. I can smell the juniper in the background, but not forthright, it's like that fresh, crisp aromatic edge that juniper gives off, but not as astringent and sharp as it is when smelling the actual plant. This sounds like a contradiction but this scent is very soft and pretty, while at the same time it is fresh, invigorating and cleanly herbal.

Someone else in the reviews said that it smells like a “lush hotel lobby” and i couldn’t agree more, this scent is sophisticated yet quiet, very clean and fresh and slightly hypnotic in my opinion, it’s a fragrance that would definitely work on both men and women, but it’s quite delicate so take that as you might. I wore this everyday in scorching hot rome in the summer and yet you could still smell it 4+ hours later, a perfect buy, the only thing is though is that it’s quite limited in the sense that it’s very much a spring/ summer fragrance, more so summer

One of the classiest summer frags i got. This is such a breath of (literally) fresh air amidst so many "shower gel blue" fragrances of today. You can tell that at least some thought and imagination was put into creating this fragrance by a master perfumer like Demachy. Fresh but creamy, and it has this "warm" feeling that is light but very appropriate at giving you an experience and a feeling of summertime, but in a classy and sophisticated way. There's no "sportiness" about this frag. I'm actually very impressed by this one, like it very much.

One of my favorites from the house, just a great spring/summer scent. On my skin at least I get good performance as this lasts around 6-7 hours, which is great for a freshie. I know others complain about the performance but that wasn't my experience. It's a subtle but consistent scent bubble as is most fragrances in this house. If you are looking for projection bombs you are better off trying a different house, but if you like intimate elegance that those close to you can pick up without punching them in the face, this house is for you.

Classy fresh fragrance - one of the best and most interesting in the Blu Mediterraneo range! The opening is very citrusy, with a note of herbs. It smells clean, but not the 'detergent' or soapy way (maybe a bit at the end). As time goes by, the breeze note can be felt, and the dry-down is also brilliant - like a Mediterranean forest by the sea, the sun coming through the leaves of the various trees and warming up the grass underfoot. Lasting power is moderate, wish it could last longer. Would be buying a bottle of this!

I find this type of profile very boring, and I'm rarely in the mood for it, except for on a crisp rainy day like today, 12 degrees. As this type of scent goes, this is a really good one, with mouth-watering citrus boosted by enough woody/resiny base notes to make it more than just a fleeting cologne. It's a bit harsh if oversprayed. I'd never buy a full bottle of this type of perfume but I'd certainly recommend this one to anyone who loves citrus freshies. The opening is 10/10 Drydown 4/10

Gives off a refreshing and rejuvenating vibe, reminiscent of a sea mist with bright citrus notes of lemon and bergamot. The juniper adds a soothing touch, making it a great post-shower scent after a long day of outdoor activities. It's perfect for hot summer days, providing an invigorating and refreshing feeling. Great choice for an evening by the sea, leaving you feeling energized. Lasts for about two hours before fading to a subtle skin scent, making it perfect for intimate settings.

Mirto di Panarea for me is all about the dry down. The base notes really agree with my skin chemistry and it's a great experience, hard to describe, as the notes combine so well; furthermore, 13 h after spraying it on my chest, it's still there. This is probably the longest lasting Acqua di Parma that I have (and a Blu Mediterraneo at that), my skin just makes it almost eternal (not that I'm complaining). Simply beautiful, big love from me. 👍👍👍👍

This scent brings sunny, bright memories to mind. I love how Acqua di Parma formulates their citrus, and this is one of my favorite examples. My favorite out of the Blu Mediterraneo series, everything is balanced in a way I think is just perfect. The touch of florals... It may be a bit understated, but it feels so classic to me. Very evocative, I don't mind if it's a little bit "soapy." This scent just makes me smile!

I love this. This is truly an Italian masterpiece. Natural citruses, mixed with some florals, drying down to a woody, ambery base. Smells soapy clean, reminiscent to a SPA. I get around 2 hours of projection, with 5-6 hours of longevity. Leans masculine. Only would wear in the heat. 8/10, if it wasn't for the performance. I highly recommend this if you like natural, citrusy, mediterranean style, soapy fragrances!

Comprei no blind. De inicio, não gostei. O Acqua di parma Blue Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea traz exatametne o que o nome e a proposta dizem, perfume que lembra a costa Italiana com bastante Murta, nota que nunca tinha sentido, o que me fez estranhar. Depois de um tempo fui acostumando e ela foi saindo tambem. Perfume muito cítrico, totalmente para verões e dias bem quentes. Totalmente unissex. Nota 7,5

When I first smelled it I thought it was unlike any other fragrance I had tried so far. A couple of days later I had Covid and my sense of smell was completely gone so I kept trying to remember what Mirto di Panarea smelled like but couldn't. Then when my nose started to work just a tiny bit again I ran and sniffed it as much as I could because this, my friends, is heaven in a bottle.

This is one of my favorite summer fragrances. 11/10 on scent alone, smells like what a summer vacation on a foreign beach feels like. Refreshing, floral, and citrusy in all the best ways. The longevity is so disappointing though. Projection for me is basically gone in a bit over an hour, skin scent for maybe 2-3 more after. Literally 3/10 longevity. Very sad. 7.5/10

The only Blu Mediterraneo that I can tolerate on my skin. All the others smell more like car deodorants to me. I like that it's not aggressive on the citrusy notes, and this makes it easy to wear for your own nose. It's not as nice as niche mediterranean fragrances, but definitely a must have for everyone passionate about aquatic smells.

This is super strong of basil. Very herbal and floral. Definitely citrus and sea notes. I really love this. it's unique because the herbs are VERY strong I feel. I don't smell too much rose though which is sad because I'd love that. Performance is meh but whatever honestly. Scent 9/10 Longevity 5/10 Projection 5/10 Worth Price 7.5/10

A GREAT offering from the house of Acqua Di Parma. The opening feels very classy with citrus herbal vibe and moves into florals, juniper and woods. The myrtle is there giving it a beach vibe. The final drydown is myrtle and mastic which gives you many hours of a clean, soapy, beach feeling. 🏖️ Scent 8/10 Performance so far 6.5/10

I don't smell much amber in here, but I'm glad the juniper berry is relatively prominent. This is a masculine-leaning herbal and floral fragrance that is very good for casual daytime wear. I've seen people comparing the scent of this to laundry detergent (and I can see why) but it doesn't bother me much, surprisingly enough.

Oh my, after a long search, I think I've found my signature scent! This fragrance goes so well with my skin. Ultra fresh, clean, uplifting. Who knew myrtle could smell so good? I ordered a bottle of AdP Fico di Amalfi to try out as well, but this amazing amazing amazing fragrance will be hard to beat, that's for sure!

I ware this in the summer on my days off because it reminds me of the beach. It's on the feminine side so it takes a confident man to ware it. The fragrance is bright, sunny and fresh. My only issue is that it doesn't last long. I spray some on my shirt to get longer ware from it. It's definitely a favorite of mine.

I'm in a very aromatic garden. I smell high quality citruses and different flowers. I'm struggling to find any other perfume that evokes that level of realism. Unisex and versatile. My favorite from the Blue Line along with Fico Di Amalfi that I just can't urge enough to try. This is Italian class!

I'm absolutely obsessed with it, such a class!! I get compliments left, right and centre from men and women alike! I have tried some of the others from this line, but no other lasted more than half hour and to be honest I find them quite generic.It has something in common with LV Sur la route.

This is the only Acqua di Parma fragrance that doesn't smell like soap to me. I love the scent, even though I'm not a huge floral fan, the rose is so calming and definitely not too strong. But the performance I get (1.5 hours) ,even for the discounted prices, is a complete dealbreaker.

Lovely morning freshie and for the hot weather and sun or even the beach. I don't know why my nose makes me smell this similarly to Neroli Portofino or at least neroli porto, but at least similar ballpark style of flora freshie. Glad I got a 150ml tester to overspray all over.

Probably one of the best summer fragrance ever, that also ooze confidence, ease and class. Fresh citruses combined with a beautiful clean, soapy myrtle and a breezy marine undertone. What a gorgeous and addicting masterpiece this is! I imagine heaven smells just like this.

It reminds me of crystal clear shorelines under the golden rays of the Mediterranean sun. Aromatic, fresh, spicy, citrus scent. Francois Demachy never disappoints. Sadly, the longevity isn’t that good, but nevertheless it’s a great summer fragrance. 100/10
