Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Elizabeth Arden, founded in 1910 by Florence Nightingale Graham, has long been synonymous with American elegance and innovation. This particular scent embodies that heritage with a composition that balances bright citrus notes with warm amber and musk. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and lemon, creating an immediate sense of freshness before settling into a heart of soft florals and a base that reads as rich, comforting woods.
This fragrance is best applied lightly — the top notes are bright and lasting for about two hours. The amber and musk base then takes over, providing warmth throughout the day. It reads best close to skin rather than in a wide sillage.
