Mediterranean-inspired fragrances highlighted for late summer

Recent lifestyle features highlight Mediterranean-inspired fragrances suitable for the late summer season, focusing on citrus and herbal compositions.

Korres Avgoustos is noted as a favorite unisex fragrance. It features a scent profile of mandarin, lavender, and bergamot in the top notes, transitioning to a heart of fig, lemon leaves, and orange blossom. The base consists of amber, musk, and cedarwood. The fragrance is described as a citrus and fruity composition that captures the essence of ripe figs in August.

The Body Shop's Kistna Eau de Toilette offers a different approach by blending citrus with herbs. The scent begins with orange, bergamot, and grapefruit, followed by basil, geranium, and thyme. This combination is designed to evoke a Mediterranean garden, supported by a base of white cedar, moss, and patchouli to provide a dry, earthy structure.
