Mediterranean
Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2007 in the budget price tier. It opens with mandarin, plum and peach, moves into magnolia, orchid and wisteria and dries down to sandalwood, amber and musk. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
Heart
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.
- Wisteria Sweet and airy, somewhere between lilac and honeysuckle.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
