Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue After Five is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Olivier Gillotin. 5th Avenue After Five opens with Bergamot, Honeysuckle, Coriander, and Plum, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lily Of The Valley, Lotus, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Birch, and Tonka Bean. Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue After Five carries a Statement verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This flanker to the perennial 5th Avenue line is divisive. Some find its woody, musky floral blend an elegant, understated gem; others are left cold by what they perceive as a generic, fleeting 'shampoo' scent, or a 'furniture polish' nightmare. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind buy.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and often-reported lighter longevity make it ideal for office wear, where it won't offend. Reviews suggest it's more of a daytime soft floral, making it less suitable for formal evening events or dates that demand a bolder statement. For a casual day it's a safe choice, but definitely not for sport.

About

After Five opens with a crisp, bright burst of bergamot and juicy plum, accented by an unusual hint of coriander. This quickly gives way to a lush heart of honeysuckle, jasmine, and delicate lotus, underscored by the intriguing, metallic warmth of saffron. The drydown settles into a smooth, creamy base of birch, sandalwood, and musk, with a touch of tonka bean adding subtle powdery sweetness and a hint of soft leather.
