5th Avenue After Five Elizabeth Arden for women

I like both Fifth Avenue and After Five. I find After Five to be a very subtle, delicat, soft, creamy fragrance. Great for an early and late afternoon. If I have to weat this fragrance after five, it will be for an 5 to 7 ;) or for a dinner with my girlfriends. I find it to be more "comfort" and casual fragrance than romantic or for a night out.
Unfortunatelly, the silage and the lasting power are very poor. After 4 sprays (two of them on hair) and three hours later the scent was completely gone.

Too strong for me, went to the bath and after bath I still could feel it!

After 5 is an elegant, clean and pleasant scent. I would not call it sensual or fun scent that I want to put on for a night out but I could see this as a nice daily perfume. The floral bouquet is pleasant, polite and interesting enough not to bore me during the day.

At first I smell a nice fresh bergamot note mixed with a slightly sweet plum. There is also a nice pinch of pepper. But very soon the scent develops into strong floral bouquet with predominant lily of the valley. I have to admit that I love lily of the valley and it is decent here but it is not my favorite as the composition is a bit too sharp and crisp for my tastes. I prefer more delicate lily of the valley. Still, it is a nice clear and clean floral that exudes elegance and class. The floral bouquet lasts for at least 4 hours on my skin finally transforming into a very light and woody musk. I do not find the dry down to be particular interesting.

Overall score is 7/10. Elegant and pleasant daily floral but I will not repurchase it once my bottle is done.

I have owned this one for quite a while yet the 125ml bottle is almost full. Not that I don't like it: it is scrumtious. I delight in gourmand fragrances but this one, I am rediscovering all over this morning as I sip a tea in the comfy warmth of my home while winds howl outside (-15 degrees here now). This is another beautiful creation by E.A. Though it does remind me of the original 5th avenue, this one is not a 'come out and play' scent. It is bolder, still as fresh yet more mature. It has a vintage-y quality I cannot define. It starts off whith what seems like a burst of ruby-red grapefruit (not listed here), bergamot and lily of the valley which rules throughout. Fresh and clean come to mind but not in a 'Clean Provence' kind of way. It is richer and more potent, a floral juice which bewitches the senses without drowning them. A fresh plum note gives off a deliciously fruity whiff here and there, making it less serious and more sweetly sophisticated. To me, it smells like pure class: it is light, not overdone but falls upon you like a sophisticated -scented silk scarf. Tingly sandalwood is predominant giving it a smooth, seductive depth which is slightly mossy , yet airy with the watery notes of lotus. Sillage is not so great and longevity is rather poor on me but for the price , this gem is worth every drop. I shall use it more often, probably on cold and drab days like this when I need a bit of Oomphy comfort! xxx

I like it, but don't love it. It is a great fragrance for during the day and is quite light. For a fragrance that is named 'After Five', it needs to pack more of a sensual punch.

yap become my signature frag !!!it is the moste feminine beauthiful fresh and elegant smell ever beside the 5 aveny wich i adore tooo!!!!

After five is rather pleasant & a very wearable perfume. I never thought that I would take a better liking to this than the original. So there you have it, I definitely think it's way better on my skin than the original which can be a tad too strong at times. I think the muskiness softens it & I enjoy that it's not overdone in anyway. I love that it can be refined & delicate for everyday & special occasions. Can become a go to scent, it is definitely a very comfortable wear. Maybe a repurchase, mmmmmmm?

I love it, it smells really good on me. For me it's a fresh scent. It is long lasting and the price is good. I will buy it again.

today i tested and i have to admit that its a very sophisticated smell!!elegant nice all day wear

There is something about the mix of plum and coriander that makes the top notes super spicy. The startup makes me sneeze! I overdid it the first time I wore this and folks around me asked "which one is that!" implying "don't wear it again" :)

Settles into sandal which is okay. I have a bottle of 125 ml - will probably donate it!

I am undecided about this one. It comes across as quite strong but I like how it settles. The first time I wore it, I sprayed on my clothes and it stayed put there forever. I think I should try this some more.

it's nice, clean and fresh, truly adorable. Safe but at the same time distinctive and particular. too bad the plum kills it for me. I just can't stand anything with plums! I've got a 30ml bottle ready to swap for ANYTHING!just send me a PM ;)

i had to go back to this one. after two years from purchasing the giant bottle and avoiding it constantly because the top notes were killing me softly i decided to give it one more try.

what a pleasant surprise.i can`t believe it`s the same perfume i judged so wrong. it`s fresh and elegant and i feel like smelling myself continually.i`m amazed, really.

I like it very much, but I prefer 5th Avenue. It is more elegant

Fresh floral femininity
I don't know why it's called After Five, it could easily be worn during the early hours of the day.

This perfume smells so good and promises a very sophisticated, sweet-ish floral and I was very excited when I first sprayed it. Much to my disappointment, its sillage is less than 1 hour on me! :( I do use it, sometimes, as my bedtime fragrance...when I pull the covers up around my neck, the smell is divine!! I am quite intrigued by EA perfumes....& I plan to try more of them in the future...this would be a winner, for me, if the sillage was there! Better luck with other...I hope! :)

I have used this for some time now and it reminds me of crystal noir by versace. I know most people will think I am on another planet but I have crystal noir and every time I spray either 5th avenue after five or crystal noir they remind me of each other. I can smell coconut but it is fresh and not too sweet. It does not dry as soapy as the regular 5th avenue but I like both of them as they are different in their own way. I do not think they smell cheap but sophisticated.

I my not a big fan of this although I did wear it for a while. Seems a bit like citrus.

Gosh I love this perfume. It just oozes with grace and elegance. I love the dash of coriander, it adds a very aromatic and intriguing layer to the scent.I can also the smell the jasmine, and the saffron is like a violin gently playing in the background. It's a pure scent, very warm, woody and stimulating.

I love this one! It's musky and plummy! If you lika a scent of plum you will like this perfume. It has no resemblance to original 5th Ave. This one is so much softer and way more pleasant!

Smells like white musk or moschino couture. I like it and will wear it but it really is just light musk on the drydown.

I had an instant negative reaction to this fragrance upon application, and that's quite rare for me. I was patient though, and didn't scrub...yet. I waited a few minutes to see how it would develop and it got worse by the minute.

Why so bad? Well, I smelled like I had bathed in a bottle of laundry detergent! Very chemical, very soapy, and very astringent. The floral notes seem to make it even worse...like a really strong fabric softener that crawls up your nose and makes you sneeze.

This did not sit well with me at all...in fact, it gave me a headache. I washed it off after half an hour.

The EDP is the best for office use, very professional and can even work perfect for casual outings after work. I think for young women.

There's something about Fifth Avenue After Five that I really didn't like at all and I couldn't wait to wash it off my skin. I like 5th Avenue, which is totally different to and much better than Fifth Avenue After Five. I think they smell like entirely different perfumes so anyone who likes Fifth Avenue and who might understandably expect this one to smell very similar may be greatly disappointed!

Fifth Avenue After Five gets a very big thumbs down from me.

Soapy clean, softly, softly. A warm musky scent, a little "thin" (lotus), slightly stripping (birch & bergamot) with a metallic note (saffron) that can leave a little synthetic trace on the skin....although this is never unpleasant.

Would be suitable for polite office-wear as it stays close to the skin & ends in a wonderful woodsy blend (the best bit).

Perfectly pleasant, great value, but a little quiet for my tastes.

I actually quite like this perfume. I expected something similar to 5th Avenue but this one smells absolutely different. It starts out very fresh but turns into a slightly spicy and warm yet dry flowery-woodsy scent. I find it on my skin rather similar to Moschino's original Cheap&Chic, as both are unique, feminine and somewhat dark. Only it would have been better not to design it as a flanker of original 5th Avenue.

i don`t like the top notes too much but i really love its middle and base notes and how it dries on my skin. if you can survive the first ten minutes you will like the rest of it.

I bought the gigantic 4.2 oz for a song, only to discover that however much I wished to like it, I just couldn't. Such a lovely bottle, but I found myself itching to use it as room freshener just to finish it . . . swapped it away before I could succumb to the temptation.

After Five opens with a bunch of squeaky fruits. The overall impression made me think of grapefruit. Not at all sweet, rather serious and somber explosion of chemical fruits cushioned by insipid florals. The florals smelled watery and insubstantial to me, creating an aquatic impression (lotus?) when I would have preferred a more assertive bouquet (I'm a floral girl). The base was not very well fixed, since the lasting power was quite dismal (3 hours upon a liberal application). There was very little substance to the base, emtirely white musk when the florals fade away.

Whenever I wore After Five, I felt uncomfortable and timid. The fragrance is just so wishy-washy and insecure that it reflected in my behavior. In the same way Coco Chanel makes me feel strong, After Five made me feel weak. Its there-but-barely-there and unwillingness to commit to one direction or the other put me constantly off balance. It had such feeble personality that it really sucked the vitality out of my day. The powderiness and chemicals just didn't sit right with me, I suppose.

As a note, Marc Jacobs Daisy is a little bit similar, but less powdery and with more clearly defined personality. I'd recommend looking into it if you like After Five.

So may be I am the only one love both Fifth Avenue. Fifth Avenue smell more rich and elegant more suitable for office wear. After Five has fresh smell, unoffensive and easy to wear. It's cheap, nice, fresh, easy to find...so what else...go get one for you!

Why is this perfume so cheap is beyond me but I am not complaining.
This is one of the perfumes that doesn´t make any big statement but anyway it smells great and I think it is the perfect everyday office scent. It leaves a trail but it is not owerpovering.
I can detect bergamon, honeysuckle and lotus. It´s a bit too much at the begining but it quickly settles. I haven´t smelled all Elizabeth Arden´s perfumes but from what I have smelled I think this is the best.

I got a 4.2 oz online for like $17 and some change and I really like the bottle it is soooo pretty but the scent will take some getting used to I can't even describe it really it is strange kind of like soap and incense just not what I expected but I will wear it.

I find this one fresh, clean classic, I expected this one a little different...though it is very nice but its a bit too simple for me, I bought this after reading some of the reviews here and I am still not disappointed. I would place this in a category of scents "if you dont know what to wear, wear this one". Its good for day and evenings.

I really, really like this scent. It's light, sensual and clean smelling. It's a little powdery, creamy and slightly woody. On my skin it even smells a little nutty. Unique and lovely. I purchased this untested because the price was fantastic, and I just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. Turns out it was a smart buy! I picked a winner. :)

It is elegant, could suit a natural beauty or a well made up lady. Natural being a good word for this. It is warm and inviting with mute woods, light airy and almost creamy tonka and sandlewood, Can maybe smell saffron and coriander. Really everything is so well blended that After five stands alone. Tried many perfumes in this group but none like this one. It is not spicy borders on powdery but is to well blended for that just enough sweet notes to keep it from being bitter yet it is far from being sweet. Just perfect and warm. Am happy I got this in time for fall but will probably wear on occasion all year long.

very rare smell and smell like Cinema Festival d`Ete but stronger anyway I love this scent ,I dont know why !

It is actually a pity that they chose the 5th avenue brandname to sell this one.Hidden behind that I-know-what-to-expect-name there is a serious surprise.
Elegant,dry and tingling.The honeysuckle and the indian lotus are beautifully combined with the bergamot,the saffron makes you blush and the lovely woodsy ending goes on simply forever.Persistent yet not heavy at all.

i find fifth ave to be better smelling than this one.

Interesting smell, wears good

it` so nice:)i love it now. i must admit that at the beginng i had to compare it with Fifth avenue..but i chose this one i like the smell that lasts on my skin i believe it`s nice for coldish days but i just like it

I love it. It has a nice clean smell that you can wear day or night.

omg. i bought this in perth and i absolutely love this! smells so clean fresh n natural.

Very nice and elegant, but not as good ah Fifth Avenue.
