The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Elizabeth Arden's legacy in American elegance and skincare innovation provides a rich backdrop for this composition. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord that captures the vibrancy of New York City, before transitioning into a heart of soft florals and subtle woods. The base notes anchor it with a warm musk and amber, creating a scent that is both fresh and grounding.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus opening is bright but fades quickly into a warm floral-woody base that lingers throughout the day. This fragrance works best in cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
