The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Elizabeth Arden's rich heritage in American cosmetics and fragrances sets the stage for this unisex EDP. The composition opens with bright citrus notes that blend seamlessly into a heart of sunflower and warm woods, evoking the essence of an open field under a clear sky. This fragrance is designed to capture the simplicity and brightness of summer, offering a fresh yet comforting experience.

How to wear it

For best results, apply this fragrance to your pulse points in the morning. The citrus opening notes are bright but short-lived, while the woodsy base provides a lasting warmth that feels like a sunflower field at high noon.
