Elizabeth Arden opens Mediterranean Perfume on plum, Sicilian mandarin, and peach, a fruity citrus rush that feels immediately sun warmed and considerably brighter than typical fall releases. Wisteria, magnolia, and orchid carry the middle into soft, romantic floral territory that keeps the composition light and distinctly breezy throughout the entire wear. Musk, sandalwood, and amber close the base in warm, comforting depth that lingers gently on skin for many hours after the fruit above has settled.
This fruity floral Eau De Parfum suits daytime wear and warm summer weather especially well, effortless rather than demanding about its own considerable charm. Elizabeth Arden created something wonderfully coastal here, bright, floral, and confidently evocative of its own sunny, unhurried, breezy, seaside name.
