First of all when you think Elizabeth Arden, you think HARD, AWFUL, HURT YOUR HEAD perfume.....Well, that's what I think of at least, because I associate Elizabeth Arden with the Red Door fragrance. Which in my opinion just HORRIBLY STRONG!
Normally, I'm really big on scented lotion for my everyday "scent" rather then a full on perfume. However......I am IN LOVE with Elizabeth Arden's new fragrance Mediterranean. It's a very pretty, floral, feminine, romantic, spring-like scent. Perfect, for summer!Here is what they have described the scent to smell like on the website:
Sparkling Radiance: Peach Nectar Sorbet, Sicilian Mandarin, Damask Plum
Unforgettable Bloom:Radiant Wisteria, Star Magnolia, Madagascar Orchid
Lasting Impression: Addictive Sandalwood, Fluid Skin Musk, Golden Amber Whisper
Unforgettable Bloom:Radiant Wisteria, Star Magnolia, Madagascar Orchid

While, I'm a little hesitant to put away my MAC Turquatic , I've been wearing the Mediterranean since yesterday and it hasn't messed with my nose or given me a headache.
Choosing your Scent:
The strength of scents varies with the percentage of essential oils and how much they are diluted. Perfume bases are 78% to 95% denatured ethyl alcohol, and essential oils make up the rest of the scent. Scents are broken up into the following categories according to strength of scent: Perfume is the most expensive, and is made up of about 22% of essential oils. Eau de Parfum is the next in line and is 15-22% essential oils. Finally, Eau de Toilette is 8-15% of essential oils, and Eau de Cologne is about 4% essential oils.
Every fragrance has three perfume notes – top, middle and base. The top note is what you smell right after application (mostly alcohol) and lasts for one minute. The body of the perfume is the middle note, which is acquired 5 to 30 minutes after application. The base note is how the scent smells after mixing with your skin and body, and is produced two hours after application. These three perfume notes are the reason why you should not purchase perfumes simply because they smelled lovely on someone else. Everyone’s skin will react differently with a perfume, producing middle and base notes unique to individual body chemistry. At the perfume counter, spray the perfume directly onto your skin rather than on the sample cardboards, and do not smell it directly from the bottle. After you have spritzed yourself, wait 30 seconds to smell the scent so that you do not get a whiff primarily of alcohol.
Like wine, perfume needs some time to breathe and open up. If you are still unsure what perfume is best after spraying 10 different types, ask for a sample to take home. Once you find the perfect scent, go back and make the purchase. Also, ask the perfume salesperson for coffee beans, not to munch on, but to smell in between each perfume to neutralize the smells. That way, you will smell each individual smell, not a mixture of smells.
