AERIN Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina Review

Honeysuckle. Italian Bergamot. Just a dash of Jasmine Sambac. These are some of the leading fragrance notes in AERIN Mediterranean Honeysuckle, a popular fan favorite. But when AERIN added Corsican Clementine and released it as a limited-edition scent, AERIN Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina was born. A honeysuckle fragrance sprinkled with a dash of fresh clementine? If you love floral fragrances, you’re probably wondering, is it a floral fragrance or a citrus fragrance?

I purchased the Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina fragrance to find out, so you don’t have to. Here’s what I discovered.

About AERIN

In 2012, Aerin Lauder, the granddaughter of leading cosmetics and skincare brand Estée Lauder, gave life to AERIN. Initially a lifestyle brand, it expanded with time to include home decor, fashion, and most importantly, luxury fragrances. AERIN’s best-selling fragrances are currently Mediterranean Honeysuckle and Amber Musk.

Is AERIN Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina the fragrance for you?

AERIN Mediterranean Honeysuckle Clementina is an acquired taste that is not made for everyone. If you like sweet, citrus scents, you will love the Clementina version of AERIN’s classic Mediterranean Honeysuckle fragrance. However, if you are like me and prefer a nice floral fragrance, this scent could be a hit or miss. Although the fragrance contains hints of jasmine and honeysuckle, it’s the splash of clementine that makes it a distinct, irresistible summer signature scent.

When I purchased this fragrance last summer, it wasn’t necessarily love at first sniff. After reading reviews, I was convinced this might be the fragrance of summer 2023 – and it deserves a second look. Initially, I was disappointed by the subtle, barely there notes of honeysuckle. But after a while, I fell in love with the glorious, citrusy clementine after smell.
