Medit. is pretty much based on citrus. Jardin Sur Le Nil — very citrusy, but less so than Medit, and not so single-minded about it. The Pour Un Ete, only a tiny touch of citrus.

Have you tried Eau d'Italie Paestum Rose? I think that might be a perfect summer scent for someone who like incense.

Robin, as the weather seems to be surprisingly glorious at the moment here in the UK, I'm currently after a summer scent. I tried Mediterraneo but was somehow too citrusy for me (or maybe because it was the EDP I tried?) I am debating on either Sur Le Nil or The Pour un Ete but then again afraid of the citrus blast I might get. Which would you recommend? I am also debating on whether I should get a bottle of Iris Nobile (not a floral lover but I love Iris) but as I am not blown away I continue to search for a summer staple before deciding. I love musk, incense and vanilla (although not too gourmand) notes.

So sorry you didn't like it! I don't know that tea so I'm not going to be any help at all, I'm afraid.

I'm dissapointed,as this one was my last hope for a great lemon fragrance,after tryng Eau d'hadrien and fresh lemon sugar.It smells pretty generic to me,nothing fantastic,not the lemon i was after.If any of you was lucky enough to try the Lipton Lemon Sun Tea wich was discontinued in the US around1999,That ! is the lemon scent I am looking for,sigh:(

T, You're the 2nd person to mention Fiori so I'll need to get myself over to Barneys and try it again. I know that it is one of the original Carthusias that was done by Laura Tonatto.

I don't care for the L'Occitane at all, but I love Mediterraneo. I also love Fiori di Capri, but the rest of the line leaves me underwhelmed.

Hi G! To my nose Mediterraneo is more about the lemon than the tea, and the L'Occitane is more about the tea than the lemon. I do like the L'Occitane, but don't love it. It isn't as zingy (silly word!) and it has just a little more sugar than I'd like. Also probably more floral notes, if I remember correctly.

But it is all about personal taste, no? I gave the newer L'Occitane Mint Tea a quick spray on a card, but mean to try it on skin one day and see if I like it better.

Hi R! I really like this, at least I think I do, from the sample I tried. I was given L'Occitane Green Tea to compare with it, to see if I thought they were similar — and I do! Do you think so? They aren't twins but enough alike for me that I could go the less-expensive route, if I decide I need it.

R, I would be a bit surprised if you liked Lignea, but it ´s certainly good to try it anyway ! I´d like to try Fiori, but haven´t had a chance yet.

S, I have seen both mint & pear mentioned in reviews, and wouldn't be surprised if both are in there. I definitely smell something fruity, but can never decide if it is really pear. Something like it, certainly, and obviously there is lots more than lemon leaves & green tea. I don't pick up on the mint, but wouldn't mind if I did!

I don't think I have tried the Lignea yet.
