One of the richest women in the world at one point was business magnate, Elizabeth Arden. Her cosmetics and beauty empire was initially called Red Door Salon when it first started in 1910 on Fifth Avenue- the history behind the names of two of her perfumes. In 1934, they launched their first ever fragrance, Blue Grass, and we have ranked our favorite perfumes out of all the perfumes launched since then.

• My Fifth Avenue by Elizabeth Arden

 

My Fifth Avenue is wonderful, elegant, clean, completely inoffensive, and appropriate for a casual gift. If you're searching for a stylish, refined aroma that isn't overly pricey, this sparkling perfume is a great option. My Fifth Avenue is a sophisticated, beautiful, clean, soapy, and white floral perfume; it is extremely floral, lovely, and feminine; it works any time of the year; it is definitely appropriate for daytime; and it can pull off an evening outing just well. It would also be a lovely daily scent for the workplace.

• Green Tea Fig by Elizabeth Arden

 

Green Tea is such a milky, creamy, coconutty, ripe-fig, and orange perfume. It not only has significant notes of green tea and fig but also deviates far enough from the original to avoid becoming a bland Green Tea flanker with one or two extra notes. With less emphasis on white florals and more on woods and rich, tropical fruits, this is more creamy, milky, ripe, and juicy. It has a scent that is more expensive-smelling than its cost and is a highly appealing, well-made mixture. Although the initial spray is quite strong, it becomes lovely, green, fruity, and fresh as it begins to dry down.

• Top notes: Opens with Bergamot, Clementine, Citron, Ivy, Tea, and Fig Leaf
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Tamarind, Pistachio, Violet Leaf, Green Tea and Fig
• Base notes: At the base, Tonka BEan, Musk, and Clary Sage
• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord:  Aromatic Fruity
• Longevity: 4 hours plus
• Sillage: Light
• Projection : Light

• Arden Beauty by Elizabeth Arden

 

Arden Beauty is a lovely fragrance that stands strong in the green floral category. It starts off with a green freshness and then transitions into subtle floral notes with a musky background. The top notes of fresh bergamot and green notes immediately become apparent and remain so throughout the entire wear. Tart rhubarb, dewy lily, and powdery iris also appear and gradually settle in before lotus begins to emerge and give Arden Beauty a humid and aquatic feel, but it never deviates into the typical aquatic territory. It can also be appropriate for office wear and more professional occasions.

• Top notes: Opens with Bergamot, Iris, Rice Flower, and Green Notes
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Orchid, Ginger, Lily, Rhubarb, and Lotus
• Base notes: At the base, Amber, Sandalwood, and Musk
• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Floral Green
• Longevity: 7 hours
• Sillage: Moderate

• Splendor by Elizabeth Arden 

 

The most noticeable notes in Splendor are lily of the valley and freesia. Here, the blend of musk, sandalwood, and white florals feels appropriate for a woman. You can't go wrong with this if your target is a simple spring feminine perfume. It begins with an affectionate appeal, and the dry down is somewhat rustic with the presence of several aromatic woods, with an emphasis on Sandalwood, which is sophisticated and discreet while also losing the affectionate floral touch from the beginning.

• Top notes: Opens with Pineapple, Bergamot, Apple, Sweet Pea, Peony, Freesia, Wisteria, and Hyacinth 
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Poppy, Orchid, Rose, Tea Rose, Magnolia, Jasmine, and Lily-of-the-Valley
• Base notes: At the base, Amber, Brazilian Rosewood, Woody Notes, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Musk
• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Amber Floral
• Longevity: 7 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection : Moderate

• Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden

 

Blue Grass begins with a good composition of cloves, followed by the soapy aldehydes. After a very lively beginning, it evolves into a flowery phase before becoming highly oriental with tonka bean, vetiver, and benzoin. It is incredible how this perfume can be both bold and soft at the same time, warm and fresh all at once, and it is absolutely captivating. This fragrance is a lovely, classy, slightly old, but also gender-neutral classic.

• Top notes: Opens with Neroli, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Lily, Geranium, Lavender, and Aldehydes
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Tuberose, Rose, Jasmine, Bay Leaf, Narcissus, Clove, Spices, Carnation, and Lavender
• Base notes: At the base, Tonka Bean, Cedar, Musk, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Benzoin
• Perfume Gender: Feminine
• Scent Accord: Floral Green
• Longevity: 6 hours
• Sillage: Strong
• Projection : Moderate

• Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden

 

Sunflower is a very clean, fresh perfume that is reminiscent of vibrant aquatic blossoms that have been sweetened with tart fruits. It begins with a harsh, high-pitched citric floral aroma that quickly gives way to a clean, lemony scent with touches of spice and powdered wood. A cleaner, fresher perfume that nearly smells like soap with a hint of citrus lemon rests on the skin after that. There is a faint floral undertone, but it is overpowered by the powerful lemon soap. This kind of fragrance is best for wearing during the day, especially in the summer. 

• Top notes: Opens with Brazilian Rosewood, bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Lemon, Orange Blossom, Peach, and Melon
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Orris, Jasmine, ROse, Osmanthus, and Cyclamen
• Base notes: At the base, Cedar, Oakmoss, Amber, Musk, and Sandalwood
• Perfume Gender: Feminine 
• Scent Accord: Floral Fruity
• Longevity: 6-7 hours
• Sillage: Strong
• Projection : Moderate

• Daytona 500 by Elizabeth Arden 

 

Daytona 500 is a spring and summer fragrance that is appropriate for the workplace. It has a juicy bergamot that blends well with sage and yuzu. Bright citrus notes including sweet juicy mandarin, sparkly fresh yuzu, and bitter bergamot, combine to create a very energizing opening. This is genuinely citrusy, just like when you peel these fruits and their aroma fills the room, and it's incredibly energizing and zesty. The straightforward heart is only a dry green with a beautiful lavender accent, but it does justice to the opening. The dry down is warm, smooth, and spicy, and the dry sandalwood adds a clean, rich note that is almost sensual.

• Top notes: Opens with Mandarin Orange, yuzu, and Bergamot
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Sage and Tarragon
• Base notes: At the base, Amber, Sandalwood, Nutmeg, and Cardamom
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord:  Citrus Aromatic
• Longevity: 6 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection : Moderate

• Arden Men Sandalwood by Elizabeth Arden

 

Arden Men Sandalwood opens with a fresh-spicy burst of citric goodness that lasts only five minutes before transitioning into an opoponax-sweetened coumarin accord, spiced with basil, and finished with a little labdanum; but the final flourish is a lovely, smoky vetiver scent. After that initial blast, the perfume becomes a delicate fragrant woody scent. When it dries down, it becomes a really fresh scent that is slightly musky and a little woody, but not overly dominated by any one note. It has a very pleasant, inoffensive fragrance.

• Top notes: Opens with Petitgrain, Bergamot, Lemon, Clary Sage and Lavender
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Patchouli, Vetiver, Geranium, Cedar, Basil, and Sandalwood
• Base notes: At the base, Musk, Tonka Bean, Labdanum, Amber, Opoponax, and Oakmoss
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Amber Fougere
• Longevity: 3 hours plus
• Sillage: Soft
• Projection : Light

Conclusion

Elizabeth Arden has been making a lot of women very happy since she opened the first Red Door Salon. It is no surprise that the business has snowballed into something phenomenal, with a fragrance line that has something for every woman- young, old, mature, and fun, among others.
