Mediterranean by Elizabeth Arden was launched in 2007, a fragrance that captures the essence of sun-drenched shores and vibrant florals. Perfumer Claude Dir crafted this Woody Floral Musk scent, blending Sicilian mandarin and plum with wisteria and magnolia to evoke a warm, inviting atmosphere. The base notes of musk, sandalwood, and amber add depth and warmth, creating a composition that feels both fresh and comforting.
