Which Should You Buy?
Room Service is a divisive scent that splits opinion right down the middle; for some, it's the epitome of luxurious hotel cleanliness, while for others, it's just overpriced fabric softener or public restroom spray. You'll either adore its sparkling 'clean girl' aesthetic or find its synthetic edge unbearable.
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.
