Oh dear. Well, I understand even AG Hadrien is ruined now that it’s compliant w/ the new IFRA restrictions on citrus. I guess it was too much to hope that Mediterraneo would stay the same.

And based on the sample of this I just received, I’d say the note listing and description are misleading. This smells like a rich perfumey floral. In fact, I’d say it smells a lot like the older Guerlains. I had to come back and look up the notes, because this wasn’t at all what I expected, to the point that I wondered if they’d mixed up the samples. Still a possibility, of course.

Finally got a sample and…my daughter said “it smells like that cleaning stuff, you know…like Lysol!” And I’m afraid she was right. I don’t even normally have that reaction w/lemon scents.

It would, but I just toss it aside and move on to the next one. I’ll circle back eventually, and maybe it will make itself more clear.

Doesn’t that kind yes/no/maybe/no/yes scent drive you crazy??

Take me! I’m almost small enough to fit in a suitcase, if a little on the heavy side to carry. I’ve only tried IO Capri, and need to try it again..couldn’t quite decide one way or the other. I like it, but don’t think I love it…but then again maybe… it was one of those.

This is not a line I’ve tried anything from (so many ‘fumes, so little time and money!). But I really, really want to go to their shop on Capri to try them.
