Why you need Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden right now!
I have yet to
find a perfume from Elizabeth Arden that I dislike. It started with Mediterranean.
I was first introduced to this perfume in one of those promotional kiosks in a
mall in Bombay. I have always been more of a body mist than perfume person. The
fact that the mist doesn’t weigh you down was always a plus.
Mediterranean is
a feminine perfume by Elizabeth Arden, launched in 2007
Since I was in
school, my parents decided that perfume wasn’t a requirement. We got 2 vials
with the perfume and I kept one of them with me.
Two years later,
I found the vial – empty, however it was still fragrant. My
love affair with Mediterranean started that very moment. Not only was it long
lasting but it also smelled amazing. It wasn’t super strong and that definitely
was a plus.
The smell was
rustic yet flirty and lasted for a good 8 hours.
The bottle was a
cerulean glass with hammered silver cap. I wasn’t aware of notes until recently. I
instantly checked for Mediterranean’s notes to know what was it about this bottle
that attracted me towards it.
The exotic
quality comes from Madagascar orchid, wisteria and Star magnolia, with light
finishes of peach, Sicilian mandarin and the beautifully named Damask Plum. Amber,
sandal wood and musk were the base note.
The Sandalwood
and Amber add a spicy, woodsy quality, which nicely balances the fruits and
exotic florals. Everything combines to create a delicate scent that evokes
sunshine, summer and adventure.
This is the sort
of perfume that quietly invites you in rather than being powerful and overt. If you are like me and don't strong strong scented perfumes, however want them to last long, then you should definitely try this.
