2021: the world took its first breath of Luce d'Oro Mediterranea. This is a unisex fragrance rooted in the floral family. Released in eau de parfum.
Country of origin — Italy. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
A scent you'll want to wear again and again — discovering something new every time. The official website of Mediterranea — http://www.dua-fragrances.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Luce d'Oro is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Mediterranea is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Spicy, Citrus, Balsamic and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Green, Fruit, Wood and Floral. At family level the fragrance belongs to Floral.
In the first seconds you detect invigorating sunny first notes: Black Pepper, Lemon and Mandarin.
In the middle phase you sense Immortelle, Jasmine, Lavender and Pear carrying a deep balsamic direction.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Aromatic, Citrus and Gourmet without random overlap. Background accords such as Floral, Fruit, Wood and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Overall Luce d'Oro reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.
