Arden Beauty (for women)

Kittycat63

I disagree totally with what "Russian" has said about this perfume! She said it "disturbs me a lot. I like richer, classier fragrances ... unfortunately this one states "sex" and nothing more". Hmmm, I couldn't disagree more and maybe Russian is referring to a totally different perfume!!

Elizabeth Arden is refined, soft and actually quite lovely. When I first got it I thought maybe it was a little bland, although nice, but over time it's grown on me more and more and everytime I wear it it surprises me more with its loveliness. It always makes me feel very elegant and feminine! Unfortunately, some people are very snobby about perfumes that don't cost a lot of money and I think because Beauty is available at a very reasonable price that puts some people off and makes them think it's not a great perfume. It actually IS a very good perfume, and it smells much more expensive than it is, and it's also ideal for any occasion, so I highly recommend it.

t is a very sharp green fragrance.I got this as a gift,but I don't use it at all.It disturbes me a lot,I like richer,classier fragrances,perfumes that are discovered note by note.Unfortunately,this one states "sex" and nothing more.It have been 4 hours since I sprayed it on my skin and I can still smell the top notes,dunno why.
It is a very plain and "one-line" fragrance,a bold one.
It is not unpleasant,but it is not very pleasant either.For me,it's just another strange perfume that maybe I didn't understand.

God, it's GREEN! I have never smelled such fresh cut leaves with lemon! And the package... I could have sworn that under a red package and a bottle with golden top would be some heavy floral green like Chanel 19 or Extravagance d'Amarige. But no, there is a great refreshing scent for the young-hearted, but with a certain distinction, a personality demanding respect, if I may put it this way.

From what I remember smelling, I really liked this one. I had originally been searching for a fragrance for my mother's birthday and seeming that she loves most Elizabeth Arden fragrances I was compelled to try this. From a quick whiff, I thought that smells nice and walked off. I returned some weeks later and got my mother to test it to see if she liked it, (she didn't unfortunately). Before leaving, I sprayed a bit on my wrist and a few hours later I was wondering what smelt so good.

Even my boyfriend at the time noticed it and asked what made me smell so sexy. I think a lot of people may be shocked to know that it's an Elizabeth Arden fragrance. At the time I didn't buy it because I was going through a strange stage in my life where I refused to buy anything cheap. But now that I'm older and a lot wiser I think I'll succumb and buy a bottle of this on my next shopping spree.

I am telling you: this is a scent of a woman. This is almost exact scent of a girl one minute before that crime, which people normally do in bed. The real scent of a girl's skin before that "action" is actually more pepper, more sharp than Arden "Beauty". Due to the anatomical building and natural difference in man's and woman's reception, you girls probably smell your skin in *that moment* slightly different. But again, the real name of this perfume is "I am almost ready, smell my skin" (without spicy peppers).
Believe me, I can not mess *this scent* with anything else in universe.

a STAPLE IN MY COLLECTION. I can smell flowers but I smell something else something reaaly nice.

Spacious, not "curved", without any "complex ornament" not "salted", not "pepper-ed", but very distinctive from the floral crowd. Slightly oriental, slightly "rounded", but still unique. For day and night use. For business and home use. For office - it is *too provocative* on brunettes, means "I love sex", on blondies means "I am very attractive under this dress too". This is a scent of a passion of a woman, but this scent is too direct description of her desire!
Can be used also in opera night. Produces very long tail, women usually like this feature.
I bought it for my wife. She does not attend an office.

I got this as a GWP in the perfume and lotion and I'm very glad! When I wear it, I feel sophisticated and kinda sexy (looking it is another thing, but never mind!)

When I first spray it on, it's a tad peppery, but not in a AAAACHOO! way. It isn't too florally or powdery and not overpowering or manly either, it's somewhere in between and kind of fresh.

In any case, the man really likes it too...bonus points!

Hmm, I've changed my mind about this perfume so my review below should be altered! I haven't had this perfume long and wasn't too sure I liked it on me at first but it has definitely grown on me and now I really like it! It's light and fresh and floral without being overwhelmingly flowerly and on me it lasts a long time. I can apply it first thing in the morning and still smell it subtly by evening. I reach for it most days at the moment and am loving it! I can recommend this perfume a lot.

This perfume is pleasant but not outstanding. The overwhelming note to me is of violets. It's very feminine and floral and could be worn anytime, day or night. I don't think it would highly offend anyone because it's not overpowering. It's far from being a favourite perfume of mine but is nice to use from time to time.

QUTE SWEET THIS ONE. BUT ALL THE SAME PLEASENT GOOD FOR DAY WEAR.

Good for work, everyday and places where you don't want your perfume be too outstanding. Freshly with ginger and rhubarb (one of my favourites in green fragrancies), maybe little bit of cucumber too? Reminds little like Calvin Klein Escape, but much more subtle.
