5th Avenue is one of my very favorite perfumes of all time. It is just so classy and soft. I am a fan of many of the classic perfumes, and consider this one right up there with the best! If you want a soft floral perfume that does not overwhelm, 5th Avenue is it.

It was my signature frag some years ago, esspecially in spring. It has a long and beautiful trail and a good staying power. Inspite of the fact it's classy, it's rather modern at the same time and can be worn everywhere by anyone(I mean the age). I got a lot of complements while wearing it!

I ADORE this fragrance! Bought my first bottle when it was launched in 1996, and have used it ever since. I always get compliments when I use it. It is definitely in my top five favourites of all time and it makes me feel good about myself! Just Love it!!

Classic fragrance for me. I will always love this one. I can't point out any specific notes, but it's a very clean scent. Not over powering!

For a long time I avoided this perfume, thinking it is suitable for mature woman. I couldn’t remember when and where I tasted it to feel like that, but probably it was at some point in my mid-twenties when I traveled a lot on business and used to spend much time on airports (and duty free shops, respectively). Recently, I bought it impulsively online, and in my mid-thirties I was in love with it. I have a large collection of perfumes, most of them more expensive and probably much more interesting, but this one I wear with real pleasure and it makes me feel so good. I am not sure that I can detect certain notes, but the overall combination is very feminine, elegant and classy.

very pleasent smell...does not seem to last very well for me...too subtle for me, but its a very nice fragrance, with a good price tag

Wonderful creation where all the elements of elegant, class and sophistications are incorperated in this interpretion by its creator in such great balance without once overdoing it!!!
A really class act by itself and I loved it!!!

5th Avenue is a very feminine, elegant, not too sweet, warm fragrance for every day. Its staying power is good, i can smell it in the evening after spraying it in the morning :) However, somehow i feel too young to wear it so i do not use it often.

This perfume is absolute classic - it's warm, sweet, floral, there is some romance, glamour and elegance in it. The bottle is really gorgeous - it gives you sense of wealth and inaccessibility. I like the scent but it' s a bit too serious for me so i gave it to my mom - it suits her more.
04/09/09 02:27:44
this is a nice perfume to wear whenever u want to feel elegant and classy.and it have lasting power.
04/07/09 03:19:34
this perfume is very very elegant and classy , im admiring the bottle, and the lasing power is good,

I used to buy this perfume always in spring. It was my favourite spring scent. But then smth changed in the parfume formule(or inside my nose) and I don't want it anymore. But the frag is very elegant, classy and floral with unforgetable notes. I got a lot of comlements wearing it...

Beautiful fragrance with some fresh and sweet scent. Stay all day long.Ideal gift for someone if you dont know their preferences.
03/30/09 08:17:18
Elegant and successful smelling, this is a throwback to classic perfume scents. It is a seamless scent, with all of the notes working together to produce a floral but not too flowery scent that is perfect for work.
03/29/09 20:13:40
This one is really good. It's my safe perfume. I can wear it anywhere, anytime.
I love the tall and sturdy bottle too. I own the 125ml and even tough I only wear it once in a while I can't imagine being out of this one.

Luxury in a bottle! I can smell nothing but lilacs and vanilla which are a good combination for such a grown and sexy scent! Can be worn day or evening it is like a chameleon and I like that about it. It is like how a woman can go from being a lady in the streets to a freak in the sheets! Perfect for any woman who knows just what she wants and how to get it! 5 stars 5th ave it all that!
03/20/09 11:08:55
My friend has this, and it smells fresh and sweet. So much better than another old perfume Chanel no.5. Maybe it's because 5th avenue is newer than no.5
02/17/09 07:23:49
Since this has been around for awhile, I thought this would smell like an old lady and was afraid to try it...I love it. Really nice floral and not heavy at all. Reminds me of a nice day strolling in the park and or a fun day shopping. It is classy in a very good way.
01/31/09 20:24:55
my mother had it, it is a good fragrance but it does not go for me. I think i don't like the "carnation" (maybe this note ?) Otherside, i prefer "after five" & "Avenue Nights" ;)
01/26/09 17:45:29
This is a VERY sweet fragrance on me - soft, light and powdery, and doesn't really last long enough, but I am getting to where I rather like the scent. At first I didn't, but it is growing on me - that sweet floral scent is quite lovely now I'm accustomed to it. My husband calls it "granma" perfume - he prefers my Organza or Euphoria.
12/14/08 14:33:53
It is cheap, but it is a really comfortable and soft scent. Maybe it is boring in a sense, but that is what
make it a successful perfume

Very flowery!smells like an expensive powder and somehow makes me think of color gold.I think it is a dead ringer for Vera Wang - only cheaper and the dry down is a bit muskier.Nicely blends in with one`s skin scent!
11/20/08 20:42:06
Friend of mine gave it to me. He knows I like sweet perfumes and he thought this one is sweet. Strange, I don’t get any sweetness at all, for me it’s quite fresh, but chemical smell. I don’t understand it. This fragrance just another time approved, that I don’t get along with classical fragrances from classical designers like Elizabeth Arden.
11/20/08 11:30:45
i tested some times this fragrance, and always i had the same impression: this smell good! ... but its nothing special...
For me, its a modest, elegant, pleasant scent... but boring

Very Nice! Chic and a very mature perfume. I got this with 3 other (mini) Arden perfumes in a set box: Green Tea, Beauty, & Red Door. Out of all, I would choose this one for more elegant outings. The scent lingers too so thats a plus....
11/07/08 19:16:18
i must agree with you all, this is an elegant perfume, i had tho choose between this one and the After 5 version, i must say i took tha after 5 for me and i will give this one to my mom:) i believe is more appropriate for her..it has something very mature in it..not yet for me..but it very nice..and it lasts sooo much on the skin
10/31/08 23:57:38
Nice, everyday, comfortable perfume. It is perfect to wear to work because it is so pleasant and unoffensive. It is easy to find 5th Avenue for a great price and I can honestly say it's a perfume that just about anyone would appreciate because it is gently pretty.
10/10/08 15:57:08
I wouldn't say is sweet but it's a nice fragrance. It's a little overpowering, but one you can wear for all occasions. It really lasts on my skin, not like other perfumes that fade quickly.
10/04/08 16:13:53
It's floral and fruity, peach and lime with lilly and magnolia. Beautiful fragrance.
10/03/08 13:51:11
I like this one a lot! It´s a nice easy-going, everyday fragrance.Light and bright, simple but not boring - just great!
09/27/08 13:15:53
A very nice, soft, business-like floral scent. Not sexy, somewhat clean, yet quite boring.
09/14/08 03:28:42
Good, proper everyday floral, not fruity or sweet, which is actually not so easy to found.
09/07/08 03:20:36
Nice high quality perfume but not my style. A little too serious for me. So I gave it to a friend. And in reply to Solocha, I had such a big bottle of it I did used it as room freshener once...don't tell my mom, lol.
09/06/08 10:41:44
For me it is a great every day scent.It gives a feeling of comfort and lifts up your spirit even after a long day of work.I love the way it makes you feel fresh and clean.It has a good lasting power but even though it is attracting it is not a sexy scent and definately something i wouldn't wear at night...
07/22/08 05:20:20
I adore it..this is my fave. Can't go out without it. it stays all day long too
07/04/08 22:03:05

this is my fav perfume.i always make sure that i have a bottle of 5th avenue.i really like the smell.i have got lots of compliments from my collegues(specially guys)it is good to wear even at night too
04/14/08 06:17:44
it is true it does have something slightly metallic. i like it but i can't wear it every day as it is not my type of scent. iit is very subtle and it to my friends it seemed more suited as a room freshener.
02/27/08 02:49:47
Pretty floral sweetness with a strong metallic note, for a charming lady ;o)
02/05/08 23:54:41
It's so feminine, very rich floral, sweet (I mean flowery sweet), warm. I like it, it's romantic, elegant and very classy without being heavy or old-lady-like. I also find it suitable for most occasions and it has great staying power.
