Mediterranean Citrus
Korres (2019)

Like the previous reviewer, I saw a reference to this fragrance online and was led here. I am familiar with the Korres products, and am a longtime fan of both their Olive and Citrus bodywashes. The company is actually a well-known Greek pharmacy and has an extensive line of healthcare and fragrance offerings that are pretty well-regarded for the quality of their ingredients used.

From the little I've been able to piece together, Mediterranean Citrus was an item that was launched in 2019 initially (or exclusively) for the US market to be sold through HSN (now part of the QVC network). There are a number of commercials still on YouTube where the hosts are (as usual) gushing over the product with praise like 'summer in a bottle', 'Greece in a bottle', etc. I was able to pick up a bottle on Mercari recently. There were a couple of bottles on ebay available, but they were sold over the past few weeks, so there clearly are some people still looking for it. It is no longer sold on the Korres website, so it seems to be officially discontinued. The concentration is EDP.

The official note breakdown (from a screen grab of one the aforementioned HSN commercials) is:
Top: Orange, Bergamot, Eucalyptus
Heart: Lavender, Neroli, Rosemary, Nutmeg.
Base: Ocean accords, white musk.

Upon spraying, you get a very nice herbal and spicy citrus. True to its name, the citrus is the star from the beginning and through most of its life. The citrus-eucalyptus combo gives it a an old-school, soapy I-know-I've smelled this-in 70s and 80's scents-before feeling that is appealing and not old-fashioned. Ditto for the rosemary and nutmeg that inject a nice aromatic element that wafts in and out, but again, the persistent juicy (but never screechy) citrus never burns off and is always present. That's my favorite aspect of the scent. You'd almost expect some kind of woody base at the bottom, but instead there is a subtle musk that wraps it up. Sillage is pretty good, longevity is fair to good and certainly nice to respray as needed.

I'm struggling to decide what it reminds me of most from own collection: Gandini Lime and Basil (but with more prominent citrus and less garden herbs)? Azzaro Pour Homme L'Eau (but with Orange and Bergamot replacing the lemon and yuzu)? Or quite possibly my beloved Tuscany per Uomo (but without the lemon and lime, more citrus, and the anise replaced by rosemary). Bottom line is that I'm enjoying it quite a bit. To my nose it has a solid masculine lean, even though I believe it was marketed as unisex.

Worth seeking out? Perhaps not, especially since it's so rare and is not especially unique. But definitely a very nice addition to the genre with a Greek-inspired twist. I have to agree with the onscreen HSN talent: Mediterranean Citrus is certainly true to its name.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mediterranean Citrus!!! That is the only reason I am on this site!! I did a search for it and this is where it lead me!!! Now, someone, PLEASE, tell me how to get it!!!

Really. I want/NEED another bottle.
