Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto

The ambassador of Italian perfumery to the world, Acqua di Parma’s fragrances have their distinct set of fans . The Blue Mediterraneo cologne brings with it the hints of a summer breeze and sunshine, drenching you in a splash of freshness that gracefully fades away. It touches the senses with a notable presence of pepper and bergamot and the underlying layer of cypress greens. This spicy tinge is followed by a sweet trail. While it does have some unisex potential, the Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto is masculine through and through. The middle notes of cedar and flowers add a sweetened scent amid the bergamot and musk.

It resonates with the woodiness of clearwood, blended in well with the scent of tobacco and whisky. Blasted Heath is a great wear for a coastal holiday when you’ve got your sunshades on and the sand between your toes.
