Notes: lemon leaves and green tea. This simple, linear fragrance opens with sparkling lemon notes. Due to the underlying tea notes the lemon is well-balanced in its sweet- and freshness. On my...

This is a fizzy citrus, with some sweet-ish green tea. My reaction is meh!

I’m a pusher and I know it… I make no apologies for it either. I’ve been in the fragrance trenches for over 20 years (gasp!!!), and I feel like I’ve earned my conclusions. I’d like to believe that...

I get straight up sweet iced tea with this. The plus side: no fake notes. And while I can see how some people really like it, this does not make me want to keep sniffing my wrist. I might like it...

This one is so close to being fantastic but the start leans just a bit too much towards that fake lemon scent they put in cleaners and bottled iced tea. Once that goes this is a great fresh lemon...

CareerLady said it best! This is a terrific summer lemon fragrance, with the sharpness of strong tea and the calm of Mediterranean flowers thrown in for good measure. Despite the two main notes,...

This is such a sentimental fragrance for me - I first smelled it at a profumeria in a romantic Umbrian hill town when I was a student there. I couldn't afford it at the time & was thrilled to find...

I am a huge citrus perfume fan but even I don't get the hype on Carthusia's Mediterraneo. It starts off smelling like Lemon Pledge. After 10 minutes or so, the sweetish chemical top notes disappear...

This is probably my favorite lemon scent of all time and lemon scents are hard to do well, IMO, so this is quite an achievement. All the talk of sand and water in the previous reviews might have...

I'm loving it as days go by. At first, I thought it just smelled like those inxepensive spanish baby colognes that I used when I was younger.

This is what Mediterraneo reminds me of. Salty turqouise warm water by the seashore turning deep blue crispy cold further out. A lot of citrus trees, lime and lemon. The warm sun on your skin. The...

Open bottle and spray. LEMONS everywhere, and not subtle, elegant lemons but big yellow grocery store lemons squeezed hard in a metal press. Two minutes later, the drydown is slightly moldy...

The review that says this will send a person back to the Mediterranean was what prompted me to purchase it, because the time I spent there was one of the absolute best times I have ever...

Green tea, lemon and a hint of lime? Mediterraneo is to me at all times summery lemon freshness, bright crystal clear moving water, with a crisp green ice-tea vibe and were it a color, a rich lime...

Throw out the Fresh Sugar. Buy this EDP instead (buy from George at first-in-fragrance.com). Downside: the fragrance doesn't last all day. OK got that out of the way. Now let's describe the EDP. It...
