Mediterranean Coast
by Monotheme Venezia
Mediterranean Coast by Monotheme Venezia is a light, aromatic fragrance centered around green tea and fig leaf, evoking a fresh, seaside coastal atmosphere. It opens with a crisp, aqueous burst of green and salty fig leaf, balanced by a delicate citrus hint and a subtle musky drydown. The scent leans unisex, with a linear progression that feels both clean and slightly earthy—some find it reminiscent of wet stone, seashore, or even a faintly herbal lemongrass note, while others describe it as sharp, salty, or unexpectedly soapy. Its performance is modest: it lingers only moderately on skin and fades within a few hours, with little projection beyond a moderate to close skin scent. The scent is best suited for summer and daytime wear, apportioning well with its cool, minimalist elegance. Numerous users appreciate its affordability and attainable aesthetic—reminiscent of a seaside promenade or a hotel room with open windows, brushing against dewy leaves and sea spray.

Cons
- −Short longevity and subtle sillage make it a less noticeable scent on skin and clothes.
- −Some users find the sharp, salty, or green-earthiness unpleasant, likening it to stale smoke or overly sharp herbal tones.
- −Omission of woody or citrus notes in the original list may be misleading—some detect unlisted accords like a slight smokiness or bitterness.
