Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Ginepro Di Sardegna, from Acqua di Parma was released in 2014. The perfumer behind this creation is Mélanie Carestia. It has the top notes of Allspice, Bergamot, Juniper, Nutmeg, and Pepper, middle notes of Cypress and Sage, and base notes of Cedarwood.
I enjoyed this fragrance, it has lots of elements I like and are complimentary when applied in this composition. The opening is a fresh citrus but dominated by that juniper note which I love and just like ADP it's super luscious and thirst quenching. There's a dry peppery edge too which perfectly compliments the gin & tonic feel, nutmeg and sage also works well. I didn't really detect allspice but I did only try it once and am awaiting samples to give it a better review. I know what to expect from this line and a great deal of spice was never going to materialize but would've been welcome. After that bright, peppered juniper dies down it becomes a familar cedar base. No better or worse than the rest of the Blu line and a welcome addition in my opinion. Longevity is not the best but acceptable, I got a few hours from it.
This fragrance is lovely. I just don't think of AdP's established lines like Blu as having new editions, I just look at a swathe of blue bottles and think...I've tried all of those, when this one popped out and I thought....wow I haven't actually. So this stuff starts out with a fresh dry GnT like juniper, settling to something much more recognisable as blue, and Mediterranean. It's herbal, slightly powdery and with a cedar, cypress base, I can definitely smell a hint of all spice and nutmeg in there too. I love a cypress based scent. Love one. This is nice but didn't excite me exactly but you know what you're going to get with Acqua di Parma, decent quality and good concepts all around. Thumbs up from me.
