The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Elizabeth Arden's rich heritage in American cosmetics and fragrances sets a backdrop for this unisex EDP. The composition opens with a bright citrus-aromatic blend that reads as crisp and invigorating, before transitioning into a heart of soft florals and green notes. This juxtaposition creates an intriguing tension, where the freshness of bergamot and lemon is balanced by the subtle warmth of jasmine and musk in the base. It’s a fragrance that encapsulates the brand's legacy of elegance and innovation.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms gradually on the skin; one or two sprays are enough. The citrus top notes fade within an hour but give way to a lingering warmth from the base notes. Best for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves subtly throughout the day.
