Which Should You Buy?
Elizabeth Arden's Mediterranean is a divisive scent that promises a sun-drenched escape but delivers a polarising mix of sweet fruit, powdery florals, and an unexpected salty edge. Some find it a clean, breezy summer staple, while others lament its synthetic, cloying nature or lack of aquatic freshness.
This perfume is pure Nostalgia-Bait. If you're a Belieber who wants to relive your teen years, 'Girlfriend' delivers a blast of fruity-sweet memories. For everyone else, it's a generic, if pleasant, blast of celebrity-scent banality.
