The sea cradles great civilisations, the supreme protagonist. The freshness of the lemon leaf accompanies the bracing notes of green tea.

The fragrance is available in Parfum 50 ml and Eau de Toilette 50-100 ml. Mediterraneo was launched in 2003. The nose behind this fragrance is Laura Tonatto.

Capri is my favorite island, and this fragrance is everything about it.
Fresh, citrus, radiant, clean and perfect for unbearingly hot summer days!

IMHO parfum extrait is better and the notes are stronger and more "individual", which I like.

For me, best summer scent and the citrus/fresh one aswell. And usually I don't like citrus based scents. Carthusia's masterpiece.

My rating: 7/10

I was really hoping to like this, but the lemon and tea mixture doesn't work for me. The top notes smell pretty bad. The dry down is better, but nothing special. I wouldn't buy a full bottle of this.

My go-to summer scent, citrus but not too lemony (no hint of furniture polish), with herbal and tea elements to give it complexity without any heaviness. Perfect to splash on when the weather is really hot. To be worn with flip flops and a cotton dress. Not a sophisticated, evening, or work scent at all.

I don't think this scent could be for a man. It is most surely a feminine scent. It is very sweet. I am not a fan. It gives me the feeling that someone just spilled a sugary drink on me. I expect it to feel sticky.

Earl Gray tea, anyone?
I'll put the kettle on...

...What a pleasant surprise in the citrus category! A citrus that's rich in flavor and still, if someone wearing Carthusia Mediterraneo walked past you, you'd sense a fresh whiff not a bit too heavy. (Sorry for the heavy grammar, though.) The sillage is good indoors, and I think that's enough because this is clearly a daytime scent.

My guess is that Mediterraneo is the most famous of the Carthusia family. The tea note is just lovely!

I usually detest citrus-based scents, especially lemon ones. I often find them too sharp, too much like the scent of detergent or too candied. Mediterraneo on the other hand, is perfection.

The composition is mostly lively, watery citrus, quite natural smelling when compared to other citrus perfumes. There is a touch of tea, however it's not particularly strong. I love how refreshing Mediterraneo is on the skin.

It's nothing out of the ordinary, but for what it's worth, I'd choose it over and above many Summer scents on the market these days.

It feels like a cologne or a body splash, yet it comes in the form of an EDT, with great lasting strength and moderate sillage.

Like craving a glass of icy cool water on a hot Summer's day, Mediterraneo is the kind of fragrance that you reach for to feel refreshed and energised during such weather. It is, in my opinion, much nicer than D&G Light Blue and Annick Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien, and all in all, much more exclusive.

I disagree that this fragrance is energetic or fizzy. It certainly is deeply citrusy, but the lemon aroma is more evocative of fresh, ripe lemons that have been lazily basking in the sun.

In fairness, I did purchase Mediterraneo in Capri (lucky me, I know!)and I see the subtleties of the fragrance as parallel to the beauty and charm of the isle.

Capri is lined with lemon trees, sprayed with the bluest ocean water, warmed by a honey coloured sun and fortified with old stone pathways and buildings. Mediterraneo is truly a testament to Capri's natural beauty. It's suggested here that this fragrance is unisex, but I feel that it leans towards the feminine as the hint of what I'm guessing is carnation offers a soft sensuality alongside the rich zest of the lemon.

I can't wear this fragrance often because it is a touch too mature for me (not in scent but in personality, if that makes sense) but it is certainly subtle enough to be worn daily. I imagine this being the perfect fragrance for a woman of the world. Someone who wears neutral tones and natural fibres, is a gifted wine connoisseur and decorates her house with stone and wood features. She is romantic but self assured. A woman who has an imagination that never strays too far away from the daydream of riding her push bike through the roads and gardens of the captivating isle of Capri. Also like your imagination, it seems deeply personal and intimate yet elusive and beautifully distant.

I know that my description might seem overly evocative, but if it in some way represents or responds to you, I think you will find the secret joys and subtle comforts of Mediterraneo.

A close and more affordable fragrance similar to this would be Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden but Mediterraneo reaches somewhere further into your heart. Or at least mine.

Dazzlingly bright lemon - very fresh – more rind than pulp. Drydown has a hint of tea in a layered green framework similar to Miller et Bertaux #3 (green, green, green). Would be so cooling in summer.

This fragrance is like an energetic drink. It is a bomb of bitter citrus fruits - strong, intoxicating and energising, strongest citrus fragrance I've ever smelled! It is a dose of pure vitamin C, that improves your mood instantly :) It's a perfect fragrance for summer or whenever you need energy to do something. Unfortunately the staying power is very poor on my skin.

Oh, sorry, forgot to write in english. It reminds you of citrus and a sunny day in south Italy where it's made.
