HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
This fragrance captures the essence of Elizabeth Arden's rich heritage, where sophistication meets lasting elegance. The composition opens with a vibrant citrus accord that gives way to a heart of floral notes, creating a balanced and harmonious blend. The base notes feature woody and musky elements that add depth and warmth, making it an enduring choice for those who appreciate classic American style.
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points for a balanced experience. The top notes will fade within an hour but allow the base notes to develop fully over several hours. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet lasting presence.
