I tried it a few years ago and it smelled sour to me; I never managed to get the original aroma. I’m eager to buy it again to see if, in the end, I’ll finally enjoy what I was too hesitant to try before.

I picked this up a couple of years ago, and it arrived smelling like vinegar—I’ve never noticed that before. I’m really disappointed I didn’t try it sooner; I’m sure I’ll buy it again to truly enjoy it.

It’s a feminine perfume, at least on my skin. It evokes elegance, tenderness, and femininity without losing freshness. It’s ideal for enclosed spaces because its trail is moderate and enjoyable for you and those around you. Although perfumes usually don’t last long on me, this one held up for 6 hours. It leaves me feeling calm and elegant. I bought it blind and it doesn’t disappoint; it’s a beautiful scent, and there are always artists behind every fragrance.

It smells like a woman, with that blend of elegance and tenderness you’re looking for without losing freshness. Perfect for indoors since the trail is moderate—just right for enjoying it yourself and with those close by. I know perfumes usually don’t last long on my skin, but this one stuck around for 6 hours. It leaves me feeling calm and elegant. I bought it blind and it doesn’t disappoint; a beautiful scent. There’s always an artist behind every fragrance.

My mom has this, and I tried it after my fresh morning shower. Honestly, it could be unisex; it has floral notes similar to 212 Men. Very pleasant and delicate, what a good find!
Ceciliska
It smells very oriental. At first, it’s a mix of citrus and spices, but later it settles into a very woody scent. I can detect saffron, a sharp spice I don’t like in the kitchen. The result is an exotic and distinct perfume, quite curious. Still, it’s non-intrusive and pleasant to wear, especially at night.

It shares notes with Cartier’s ‘SO PRETTY’ and reminds me of it quite a bit when I wear it, but it’s softer and more subtle. It lasts a long time without being overwhelming, has good projection, and is elegant, refined, and exquisite; it’s one of Arden’s best. I absolutely love it and wear it in summer and on hot days. As it dries down, it leaves a trail very similar to Cacharel’s ‘NOA,’ another fragrance that I’m fascinated by and adore.
GATAKA36
At first, it smells a bit strange, but as it settles on the skin, it has a fresh and floral scent. It’s not one of my favorites from Elizabeth Arden, but it’s acceptable.
ALICIA
My mom has this fragrance, and honestly, I underestimated it until today. I sprayed some on my neck: the opening is floral and musky, but after a while, it smells great and turns oriental. The sandalwood and musk give it a wonderful dry-down, sweet with soft woody undertones, which I find more pleasant. It has excellent longevity; I recommend it for daily use.
