Mediterráneo

A VERY LIGHT EDT THAT TURNS OUT TO BE A HEAVYWEIGHT PLEASURING SCENT (short review) This fragrance turns out to be a very light "Versace pour Homme" look alike, but... - It's quite Inexpensive:12 Euros for a big 200 ml flask (on sale a couple of years ago). - You can spray and respray and respray and respray... it's never too strong, and you have 200ml of juice in the bottle. - If you want it just for a couple of hours.... great, that's what it lasts without respraying. - A perfect scent for the cycle "spray => workout => shower => spray". - The concentration is probably of a Eau de Cologne or even Eau Parfumée. With a real EDP concentration, this perfume would be a winner. The way this scent is marketed, longevity lasts up to 3~3.5 hours and sillage is no bigger than an arm's length. - It's very versatile, but bear in mind its low performance. It is unmistakably a fresh spicy fragrance with citrus notes and green herbs accords. Sweetness? None whatsoever! - The bottle is not pretty but it's also not tacky. And it even comes with a real wooden cap. My opinion: I always like to have an EDC at hand and I do own quite a few. I judge this fragrance on a pair with "Agua de Colonia Concentrada" citrus EDC by Alvarez Gómez, another Spanish very good EDC although not similar to Mediterraneo. Alvarez Gomez is perfect as a morning EDC and "Mediterráneo is fantastic for the gym or after the beach. My scent rating for "Mediterráneo" by Antonio Banderas: 7.5/10.0 Music: The Beach Boys - "I Get Around"

Very refreshing, clean fragrance, but with a character. It doesn't smell like any blue fragrance, it's rather green. Perfect for everyday wear, every season, every occasion. Perfect for office. It's not a performer and it shouldn't be. Not every fragrance needs to choke out the room and the person next to you. That's why it's perfect for everyday and the office. I don't get the complaints. It's cheap and that's what you get longevity wise. D&G the one is 3-4 times the price of this, performs worse, yet people still love it. But this fragrance doesn't smell that cheap, it's not complex but it does a simplistic scent perfectly without smelling synthetic and cheap. 7.7/10

Versace pour Homme light look a like, but..... - Inexpensive (12 Euros for 200ml) - Comes in a 200 ml bottle - You can spray and respray and respray - it's never to strong - If you want it for a couple of hours.... great, that's what it lasts without respraying In summary: Provided you buy it for the correct use - gymn, after shower at night, citrusy body spray, want to feael confy for a couple of hours....- it is a VERY GOOD BLIND BUY

One word: delicious. A refreshing fragrance, gentle, soft, very comfortable. Very delicious. Perfume ideal for warm days or evenings. It reminds me of 'Blue Seduction'; but it is even better and fresher! (It's also sexy). The price is also great. In short - I will always have in my collection. Update. Now it brings me to 'Allure Blanche' &, mainly, 'Dior H. Cologne 2013'.

It's my favorite from Antonio Banderas house.A very fresh smell that rightly takes you to the Mediterraneo sea. Too bad the projection is weak, otherwise it would have a different fate. Anyway,at the price of 20 € -200 ml,it's only worth applying after showering, before bed,or when you haven't need of strong perfumes.

Reminds me of my teenage years. Once at a party one guy probably has put some 20 sprays and he has done it just before he entered the room! We were all like "man what the hell have you done"! My ex-girl used to say it smells like old man-but i don't believe it. It's fresh and energizing. Classic from AB.

This was my first cologne a few years ago. Despite the performance I actually liked this one very much. If you are looking for a green freshie on a budget look no further. This is made to hold his own not to offend anyone and to respray every 2 hours.

I love this perfume. I have this forever. I always wear it. When it's first time on skin, you can really smell pepper. Then it calms down into really fresh spicy smell. Smells like sea and sand. Awesome.

smells amazing but it only last around 1-2 hour minimum. a great frangrance for summer.

Even within perfumery, some brands suffer a huge prejudice from the public. In the case of Antonio Banderas fragrances, the Brazilian audience – although Latino – usually do that. And I really don't understand why. Usually, the fragrances are pleasant, they exude and last in a safe way, from the median to good (depends on the skin, obviously) and cost a lot less than many others, which do not have satisfactory results. By the way, they tend to cost less than some Brazilian fragrances, even after all the importation process. In the case of Mediterráneo, it is delightful! The fragrance, the projection, and the duration are very good and combines perfectly with the warm days of my country. Right off the bat, the scent opens with vetiver and ginger, notes that make it refreshing and dry at the same time. Furthermore, the composition has amber, musk, and pepper. I've worn two bottles of it and always received many compliments with it. For me, Mediterráneo is a true synonym for the word freshness and also an excellent example of a product with a great cost-benefit ratio.

I have a special connection to this perfume, I used to buy this for my late father as a gift and he always tried to save it for special occasions even though I told him I would buy him a new one in case he runs out of it. This is my favourite woody-green cheapie and my favourite from the Antonio Banderas house, the new releases don't seem to be as nice as this one. The fragrance itself is indeed woody and green, however I wouldn't call it citrusy. Pleasant and delightful scent with strong vetiver, ginger and pepper, while the amber note gives it some warmth. Versatile every day perfume for the summer, can be used by youngsters and mature men as well.

They don't list the salty, aquatic note but it's there... This could be the not-as-pretty child of Kenneth Cole New York & Carolina Herrera 212... It takes from both and does neither as well as the originals, but that's a tall order because the parents are badasses... It's like Brooklyn Beckham. It will get the job done and it's pleasant enough to get you the follows. At $15 for 100mL it's totally worth the blind buy risk, just don't expect CH212 or KCNY... Also, don't buy as a Versace Pour Homme dupe because you're going to be very bummed when you don't get the VPH fruity, sweetness but a more salty, sour drydown instead.

To my nose, this smells very similar to Versace Man Eau Fraiche with a subtle green to it. If you like Eau Fraiche, most likely, you'll like Mediterraneo. The bottle looks beautiful. The cap is unique and the sprayer is not that great. Smell doesnt last long. You can go on a rampage with the spray and I still dont think you will get more than 2 hours longevity out of it. This makes it a very safe office scent. Definitely for hot summer mornings and afternoons. My first cologne in Antonio Banderas line and I plan to try a few others. Hopefully those are equally decent. Cheers~

This smells great. Citrus heavy. I find "Theoreme" by Rue Broca comparable, altho the citruses in it are more zingy. Dries down to a very similar, warm, ambery/ambroxany combo. I slightly prefer the citrus in this (it has a touch more depth and is sweeter), but it's not that big of a deal and super subjective, plus Theoreme lasts freaking ages AND keeps the citrus. You can't beat that. You'd go noseblind to it before it goes away. /edit : Turathi Blue isn't too far removed from this theme either, altho it's different and Theoreme might match up better $0.2 🍻

My teenage son received Mediterraneo as a birthday gift. It's a very nice beginners' frag, ideal for young boys who are only just discovering fragrance (and tend to overspray!) Mediterraneo consists of bergamot, vetiver and spices (ginger, pepper), with the ubiquitous ambroxan and white musk in the base. It's a gentle, clean and refreshing scent. Silage is soft, but longevity ain't bad, especially considering that this is a very affordable scent. Perfect for spring and summer.

Mediterraneo.В превод Средиземноморски напълно оправдава името си.Лек,свеж и изключително приятен пролетно-летен аромат пресъздавайки усещането за морската вода и нещо тревисто.На мен ми стои и доста сапунен.Във всеки случай нещо много чисто.Ако беше една идея по траен грешка нямаше да има.Час и половина до два върху кожа,после може да остане до 3-4.но доста по слабо.Върху дрехи е по траен.6/10

This is an inexpensive very good fresh hot weather cologne. Kind of reminds me Versace pour Homme but lasting less. Week sillage and longevity is its drawback. I do not need a freshy citrusy EDT to last more than 8 hours, but 2 hours is ridiculous. I like the scent but I will not buy it again. Both Banderas Secret EDTs are WAY BETTER.

The name and the bottle suit to the smell. Really Mediterranean and classic ! Despite I have a good skin the perfumes react a little weaker on me so I can not judge the performance. But I like it.!

Fresh/citrus, great fragrance. It last 3/5 hours on my skin, short sillage, but perfect for summer/spring day and night. I sweat a lot and for the price (100ml = 10usd) is a very good cheap option

[EDIT] I'm reversing my prior negative review of the Made in Mexico version. After a couple months it macerated. It's no longer worthless. It is very reasonable for it's price.

A wholesome and inoffensive early millennium herbal freshie. Clean and invigorating in warm weather, markedly evanescent in its Mexican produced reformulation.

Very, very nice and delicate summer fragrance. It works best in very hot weather. It reminds me of the Mediterranean - the name is very accurate!

I dont like it much. I got it many years ago because my grandpa was gifted this, he doesn't use fragrances so he gave it to me as i was in puberty just starting to like girls and wanted to smell good. It smells like a >50 year old man in the beach. It has its use, and its very cheap. But i dont see myself using this for quite a few years.

A clean, fresh, green and soapy perfume. It's pleasant but weak longevity and silage. But, you can spray with abandon because it's not expensive. I'll probably use this bottle up quickly - won't get another. A shame because it's a nice green scent.

it's reformulated, now has some 80's vibe. Opening smells strongly of vetiver, after thirty minutes the note of aldehydes becomes dominant and has the exact scent of freshly opened, dry bar of soap.

Just bought this one, and I must say that the preformance really sucks. Mabey its on my skin or the weather is too cold, but its gone in a few minuts for me

A lovely green/soapy fragrance. I gave this away because it's so weak and if there's one thing I can't stand is a perfume being weak.

Lots of Vetiver and citrus, smells clean, lasts whole day on clothes. Reminds me of Malizia Vetiver and Guerlain Vetiver.

Very nice bergamot-vetiver scent...

Mediteraneo was my favourite fragrance years ago. This was one of the best Antonio Banderas perfumes, sensual and masculine with excelent quality. Compliments from guys and girls every time I wore it. I am so sory to say that the new Made in Mexico bottles can't compare with the original European ones. The Mexican edt is reformulated and now it is just a shadow of the previous beauty.

I've never been a fan of Antonio Banderas' Perfumes but still this a great choice for a daily use scent. Smells fresh, critusy and spicy. For its price, longevity is quite good (2 to 3 hours) and a good 1 hour of monster sillage. Worth buying it for a cheap price.

I don't get it. Most of the people claim to have bad performance but on me this fragrance stays and also projects quite a long time. Not only that but I have a skin that burns fragrances fairly quickly. I wish all my freshies could perform like this one.

Well, i used to be a fan of this one... till the day i got too much of it on my wrist... it is strong, and gave my girl a headache... i tought it was elegant, but it's more like for those who don't care bout a thing, but with a good dressing

Fresh with an strong citrus openning. Then it goes to a green and sea scent. After all, it leaves a sweet aroma in the skin. Longevity abour 3-4 hours Sillage good for 2 hours, then it stay close to you personal space.

The ideal office scent which is perfect for colleague interactions. After a recent complaint from someone at work I am much more cognizant of scents that are not work friendly.

I Love Blue Seduction, so I was anxious to try more Antonio scents. Got this one for Christmas, it is just awful. I didn't even give it away, it went right into the trash!

too sweet and salty. feminine smell. good longevity. very plain and smells like a cheapy from a discount store.

Tried the other day and I must say that this one smells just like sweat... very salty... and sweaty... urgh.

Puig creates a new version of "aqua fresca" by adolpho domingues! The same fragrance in different price

the ginger reminds me another rosendo mateu creation the carolina herrera 212.
