Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Mirto di Panarea Eau de Toilette 150ml is a sun-drenched Mediterranean aromatic from the Blu Mediterraneo collection — composed in 2008 by François Demachy and inspired by the wild volcanic island of Panarea in the Aeolian archipelago. A bright Italian lemon, bergamot and basil opening leads into an aromatic heart of myrtle, marine breeze, jasmine absolute and Damask rose, settling on a warm base of lentisk, juniper, Virginian cedarwood and amber. The result is a holiday-in-a-bottle: aromatic, slightly herbal, unmistakably Italian.
About Acqua di Parma
Acqua di Parma was founded in 1916 in a small laboratory in Parma's historic centre and remains entirely Italian-made — now under the LVMH group. The Blu Mediterraneo collection is the maison's most extensive line: a series of fragrances each dedicated to an iconic Italian destination or ingredient, from Bergamotto di Calabria to Fico di Amalfi. Mirto di Panarea is the herbaceous, slightly wild chapter, named after the small Aeolian island whose myrtle bushes inspired the composition.

Who it's for
Mirto di Panarea is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to aromatic Mediterranean citrus fragrances over heavy oriental or sweet gourmand styles. It is at its best in spring and summer, ideal for office and daytime wear, holiday packing and warm-weather travel. If you wear Acqua di Parma Colonia, Hermès Un Jardin sur la Lagune, or Tom Ford Costa Azzurra, Mirto di Panarea sits comfortably alongside them with a more herbal myrtle-and-juniper signature.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply generously to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears and inner elbow.
- Reapply through the day as desired; eau de toilette concentrations sit closer to the skin and benefit from a top-up.
- For longer scent trail, mist lightly onto a cotton shirt or linen jacket — natural fibres carry aromatic Mediterranean fragrances especially well.
Size: 150ml — the larger format for the dressing table at home, presented in the Blu Mediterraneo line's azure-blue gradient flacon.
