Elizabeth Arden opens 5th Avenue NYC Perfume on peach, apple, and bergamot, a fruity, immediately bright rush that feels distinctly urban rather than pastoral or quiet. Peony, black currant, jasmine, and plum blossom carry the middle into lush, romantic floral territory that keeps the composition warm and refreshingly inviting throughout the entire long wear. Vanilla, tonka bean, musk, sandalwood, and amber close the base in rich, comforting depth that lingers gently on skin for many long hours.
This fruity floral Eau De Parfum suits daytime elegance and evening plans equally well, versatile in a way many other perfumes never quite manage. Elizabeth Arden conceived something thoroughly metropolitan here, entirely worthy of the confident, iconic street name it so proudly carries.
