Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mediterranean

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.

Our Verdict - Young Sexy Lovely

YSL's Young Sexy Lovely is a divisive one, with many finding it a pleasant, fresh fruity-floral that's perfect for younger wearers or those craving subtlety. Others, however, dismiss it as generic, forgettable, and far from 'sexy'. Expect a light, airy scent with minimal presence.

Mediterranean

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

Also Works:

Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh character make it a decent office choice, but some find it too strong. It's perfectly suited for casual daytime wear and warm weather, though its intensity means it's less ideal for formal events or heavy exercise.

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its light sillage and inoffensive, clean-girl aroma make it highly suitable for office and casual wear, where strong scents are often unwelcome. However, its lack of projection and 'sexy' quality means it won't stand out on a date or formal event. The fresh and fruity notes lean it towards an active, casual vibe, but it's not a true 'sport' fragrance.
