Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea Eau de Toilette 150ml Spray Molton Brown 195ml bottle with a pump

195ml bottle with a pump dispenser

Three sprays in the morning sit close to the skin through the day — it's a second-skin fragrance rather than a room-filler

which is harder to pull off than it sounds

Citrus and white florals sit on top of a quiet musk base that doesn't announce itself

so it doesn't announce itself as a hug

Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea Eau de Toilette 150ml Spray Molton Brown 195ml bottle with a pumpMyrtle leaf is the core that green, slightly peppery note that smells of Mediterranean scrubland just after rain. Acqua di Parma sits it against neroli and a whisper of sea salt, so it reads less perfume, more air with memory. Unisex EDT, 150ml. Two sprays in the morning sit close to skin, refreshing without announcement. The bottle outlasts most summer holidays, which is the point.
