What are the Best Elizabeth Arden Perfumes?
Elizabeth Arden is an American fragrance, skincare and cosmetics company established in 1910.
In 1990, a Canadian entrepreneur lady ‘Florence Nightingale Graham’ established a company called Elizabeth Arden which was her professional name as well. First she started with skincare and cosmetics. After her death, the company was handed to many others. Then, finally, FFI owned it in 2003.
They started with skincare and cosmetics and then slowly got into the perfume world in 1936. After that they are making fragrances till now.

Green Tea Elizabeth Arden: Projects Zen Vibe
Middle notes are Jasmine, Oakmoss, Fennel, Musk, Carnation and White Amber;
Base notes are Green Tea, Jasmine, Oakmoss, Musk, Celery Seeds, Caraway, Cloves and Amber.
It was quite recently when I got the opportunity to use Green Tea. The design of the packaging is very creative and brilliant. From the outside of the packing box you can see the green colour of the juice.
If you ask me to describe this perfume in one sentence, I would say it’s a zen fragrance.
The sprayer gives a nice distribution of the juice. Green Tea is not a heavy fragrance but it is not a light one as well.
In the opening, you receive a very sharp citrus with the green tea. In addition, to give it a floral touch jasmine comes through. The fragrance has a bright and beautiful opening.
It is a crowd pleaser. Everyone is going to love how you smell when you put Green Tea on. And , it is also very easy to pull off. The citrus disappears in the dry down and it focuses more on the green tea which makes the perfume very relaxing.
On my skin, it lasted for 5 to 6 hours. To be honest, I didn’t expect the lasting of this scent would be this long but it absolutely surprised me.
If these reasons are not enough for you to buy this perfume, let me add another one, it’s cheap as well. Yes, this fragrance can be easily affordable for everyone.
WHEN TO WEAR:
You wear this fragrance when the sun is bright. So, basically it is a summer scent. You can rock it in spring as well.
It is great for office wear because it’s light and sophisticated.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:
- An easy going scent.
- Unisex perfume.
- Good longevity.
- Affordable.
5th Avenue Elizabeth Arden: Like a Fresh Flower Bouquet
Middle notes are Jasmine, Tuberose, Bulgarian Rose, Peach, Ylang-Ylang, Violet, Carnation and Nutmeg;
Base notes are Musk, iris, Sandalwood, Amber, Vanilla and Cloves.
Honestly, I bought 5th Avenue for the time because it is cheap and some people consider it a classic. But it is on second on my list because my experience with this one has been amazing.
The opening is the freshest part of the perfume. It smells like a bouquet. It has a golden floral in the background and sparkly freshness upfront.
If you don’t like floral scent, I am recommending you to try this because the florals in it are not at your face. It is quite settling. The perfume is very well blended. All the notes unite together and become one strong army.
It gives a golden and glamour feeling. This perfume reminds me of the song called ‘Golden’ by Harry Styles. And the perfume which smells similar but stronger than this is Vera Wang by Vera Wang.
The fragrance soothes down in the dry down with amber, vanilla and sandalwood. They are adding a warmth touch to the scent.
The scent gives you a lasting power of 7 to 8 hours with a moderate projection.

Red Door Elizabeth Arden: Most Popular Elizabeth Arden Perfume
Middle notes are Honey, Carnation, Rose, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Lily, Freesia, Lily-of-the-Valley and Orchid;
Base notes are Sandalwood, Amber, Benzoin, Musk, Heliotrope, Vetiver and Cedar.
Red Door was released in 1989 and, yes, it’s still going strong. I am pretty sure you have already heard the name of it because it is one of the popular perfumes of Elizabeth Arden.
The main idea of this fragrance is that it is a classic sweet and floral scent.
When I first spray it, I get a blast of sweet fruits. The peach and plum are dominating the others. After a couple of minutes, the florals start to blossom. I could not pick out the floral notes but it has a combination of all.
The dry down of this perfume comes quite early. And, it contains a woody base with a waft of sweet floral which creates a pseudo effect of honey. In the end, it stays with sweet sandalwood. It is not very different from Original Santal by Creed.
It might be an old one but the smell is still very modern. The longevity and projection are both moderate. It stays for 4 to 5 hours.
WHEN TO WEAR:
The strong sweet, floral and fruity notes give you tremendous support in winter and fall.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:

- Smells very modern compared to its age.
White Tea Elizabeth Arden: Exotic Summer Scent
Middle notes are White Tea, White Iris and Mate;
Base notes are Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Exotic Woods, Tonka Bean and Amber.
Personally, I have never tried white tea but it is said to be one of the rarest tea in the world.
Here, white tea has been combined with white iris. This combination makes the fragrance very exotic.
In addition, to make it more luxurious, it has mate. Mate is also another kind of tea. It gives you instant energy after drinking it.
White Tea opens with mandarin orange. This perfume will make you feel fresh and relaxed. You will get reminded of your holidays by the beach. It has a subtle musk as well.
The longevity and performance of this fragrance is moderate. It lasts for 4 to 5 hours on my skin and projects for 1 to 2 hours.

5th Avenue Royale Elizabeth Arden: Dark & Boozy Flanker
Middle notes are Patchouli, Olibanum, Atlas Cedar and Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha;
Base notes are Suede, Labdanum, Amberwood and Musk.
5th Avenue Royale is one of my blind-buy perfumes. I heard about it from a few people, the notes felt quite interesting to me and the price is very affordable. So, I didn’t hesitate much before buying it.
This one starts with a little bit of boozy. You will get a dark woodiness here. And also, the patchouli will be caught by your nose right away.
After reading the notes or even by just looking at the bottle, you might think it is a heavy and cloying perfume like me. But it is lighter than I expected it to be.
To compliment the smoliness of the scent, it also has a sweetness to it from the raspberry.
In the dry down, the suede leather comes out covered with musk but I still smell the woodiness in the fragrance. The sweetness increases with time.
5th Avenue Royale reminds me of Stash SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker and Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford.
The lasting power of this perfume is great. I receive a longevity of 8 to 10 hours on my skin.
WHEN TO WEAR:
This mysterious bottle is built for the smoky and cold nights of winter and fall.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:
- Sexy fragrance.
- Strong and mysterious scent for winter and fall.

Sunflower Elizabeth Arden: Bright Summer Scent

Base notes are Sandalwood, Musk, Oakmoss, Amber and Cedar.
I was looking for a cheap but, of course, good quality summer fragrance. One of my friends suggested Sunflower by Elizabeth Arden. After smelling it for the first time, I fell in love with it.
With the initial sniff, it opens with very prominent cool melon and peach. It makes the scent very beautiful and bright.
On the floral part, it has cyclamen, rose and jasmine. Most of the floral perfumes can make you sick because they go overboard. But Sunflower has a perfect combination of the floral and fruity notes.
This fragrance will give you a reason to be joyful. It is similar to Escape by Calvin Klein.
In the dry down, the perfume becomes musky, ambery and woody. It easily lasts for 5 to 6 hours. You can spray it 3 to 4 times or more because this fragrance is not overwhelming at all.

Middle notes are Fig, Green Tea, Violet Leaf, Pistachio and Tamarind;
Base notes are Clary Sage, Musk and Tonka Bean.
Green Tea Fig is one the flankers of Green Tea range. It was released in 2018. Therefore, it is comparatively pretty new.
My mother gifted me a bottle of Green Tea Fig on my birthday after I told her how much I loved the sample of it.
It has a moderate projection but the longevity is great. It lasts 6 to 8 hours on my skin.
Green Tea Fig definitely contains the DNA from its origin but it has its own identity as well. This is one of the reasons why I love this one so much.
Fig is, of course, the star of the fragrance. The aromatic spices, green tea and bergamot in the opening set the stage for the fig to shine its way. It is creamy and fruity. But there is something about this scent which is very refreshing and clean.

It is a beautiful summer and spring scent.
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY IT:
