This fragrance gave me headaches and nausea. It smells like chemical liquorice. It reminds me also the candies in the drugstores. It's old-fashionned and not really wearable.
This Serge Lutens beauty is like a fresh gingerbread cookie or cake. Wore this one a few times,and it has a slight old school vibe (probably because of the ginger and cinnamon), which seems to be...
If you like Bath and Body Works' Midnight Pomegranate, (which is very popular), you will most likely like Viva La Juicy. I love both. There is a very caramel, praline deepness to both of them....
Well, not much to say about this, it's floral, it's fruity, it even has some "beach" feeling, but the game is too short and boring...how can they just think that someone would pay that price for...
Going on with my Gardenia state-of-mind...
This one is my Holy Grail for Gardenia scents, maybe it's a tiny bit less realistic than "Gardez-Moi" (even though it contains mostly Gardenia...
I love Mediterranean herbs. I am about to look for samples of fragrances that display great, aromatic Mediterranean herbs.
What are your favorites?
you HAVE to try all the Acqua di Parma fragrances in their "Blu Mediterraneo" line. they have terrible longevity but they are extremely high quality mediterranean herbal/floral/citrus frags. think it might be just what you're looking for.

Yes, this line sounds very intriguing to me. In fact, I started a thread on them several months ago. I will definitely have to sample them. I will have to see if they have sufficient longevity.
Maybe what you are looking for is found in Tuscan Soul by Ferragamo. A very citric scent that develops into a more herbal heart. And it broadcasts "mediterranean" to all corners.
Another vote for Tuscany Uomo, plus, in a variety of other styles, Virgilio, Baïme (though I don't find it all that wearable), Eau du Sud, Aria di Capri, New West for Him, and Fraîche Badiane.
That style is one of my go-to favorites, if done well (in a dry style). Here are some I like:
Acqua Classica Borsari
Acqua da Toletta
Basile Uomo
Eau D'Hadrien
Eau D'Italie
Essenzia di Zegna
Grain de Plaisir
Iskander
L'Eau Guerriere
Magnifico I: Mirto Imperiale
Sud Est
Victrix
Virgilio
