The story behind the bottle.
Elizabeth Arden is an American fragrance and cosmetics company founded in 1910 by Florence Nightingale Graham, who used the professional name Elizabeth Arden. This particular scent embodies the brand's heritage of innovation and sophistication, with a composition that opens with bright citrus notes before transitioning into a warm amber base. The soft florals in the heart keep the fragrance balanced and inviting.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so the amber base will make up most of what others notice throughout the day. It's best for daytime and evening wear as it reads softly yet confidently.
