The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Elizabeth Arden's legacy in American elegance and skincare innovation provides the backdrop for a fragrance that captures the essence of an iconic New York street. This unisex EDP opens with a vibrant citrus-aromatic accord, evoking the crispness of a late afternoon on Fifth Avenue. The heart notes seamlessly transition into a floral bouquet, while a rich base of woody accords and subtle musk ground the composition, creating a harmonious blend that feels both lasting and modern.

How to wear it

One or two sprays is enough to capture the essence of this fragrance. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so it's best applied just before you head out for the evening. The woody base will linger close to your skin, providing a subtle yet lasting presence.
