Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea
Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea by Acqua di Parma is an unisex eau de toilette from 2008 in the premium price tier. It opens with basil, lemon and bergamot, moves into marine accord, jasmine and damask rose and dries down to mastic, juniper berry, virginia cedarwood and amber. Expect around 4 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Basil Peppery herb with an aniseed lift. Culinary but wearable.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Marine Accord Generic 'ocean' — salt, air and water. Clean and uncomplicated.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
Dry-down
- Mastic Resinous pine-and-lemon. The chew of Greek gum.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
