Mediterranean-Inspired Fragrances

The Mediterranean is perhaps the most frequently evoked territory in perfumery — a mental space where orange trees bloom in the heat, where aromatic herbs carpet the limestone hills, where sea air mingles with the scents of white flower bouquets and ancient woods. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino captures with enchanting precision the moment one arrives in Portofino and the air charged with neroli, bergamot and jasmine enters through every sense simultaneously. Acqua di Parma Colonia, born in 1916, is the distilled essence of joyful, sunny Italy — a colonial freshness with accents of lemon and rosemary that never goes out of fashion. Hermès' Jardins explore other shores — the Nile, the Mediterranean — with the botanical precision of a poet-perfumer. These fragrances are holidays in a bottle.
