Mediterraneo by Carthusia is appreciated by the community for its authentic Mediterranean character and fresh, natural composition that captures the essence of the Amalfi Coast. However, it suffers from weak longevity and performance, making it better suited as a refreshing summer splash rather than an all-day fragrance. The limited community discussion suggests it remains somewhat under-the-radar compared to more popular Mediterranean fragrances.

Philosykos is appreciated by the community for its pleasant fig scent and won the letter P in the popular A-Z fragrance voting, but it is widely criticized for extremely poor longevity lasting under an hour on skin. While the fragrance itself is liked, its weak performance makes it impractical for all-day wear despite being marketed as an Eau de Parfum.
