Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Ginepro di Sardegna is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Mélanie Carestia. Blu Mediterraneo - Ginepro di Sardegna opens with Bergamot, Pepper, Nutmeg, and Allspice, settles into a heart of Cypress and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Acqua di Parma's Blu Mediterraneo - Ginepro di Sardegna carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, but a masterpiece for many, this is one of Acqua di Parma's most distinctive Blu Mediterraneo offerings. It's a proper grown-up juniper-spice bomb that screams masculine elegance, especially now it's been discontinued.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate sillage and 'office-friendly' nature, as noted by several reviewers, make Ginepro suitable for professional settings and closer encounters like dates. While its fresh spicy character allows for casual wear, the underlying classic and refined elements might feel a bit too 'dressed up' for sporty activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a rich G&T with a hefty dash of allspice and pepper, softened by a touch of nutty nutmeg. Ginepro di Sardegna opens with that crisp, spirited freshness, evolving into a heart of aromatic cypress and herbaceous sage. As it settles, a clean, gentle cedar emerges, grounding the lively spices and greens in a warm, subtle woodiness. It’s got that nostalgic barbershop vibe but with a modern, creamy edge.
