5th Avenue

by Ann Gottlieb

Our verdict on 5th Avenue: Favourite

A divisive floral classic that people love for its sophisticated charm or dismiss for its perceived cheapness. Expect a clean, elegant scent, but be warned: reformulations mean many find it's lost its former beast-mode glory.

Its clean, inoffensive floral profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear. Despite some finding it perfect for formal events, mentions of its weaker modern performance mean it's unlikely to be a showstopper for a big night out.

About

5th Avenue opens with a dazzling, creamy burst of luminous white and yellow florals, where plush lily of the valley, magnolia, and lilac intertwine with the sweet undertone of peach. A subtle freshness from linden blossom and citrus keeps it bright. As it settles, a clean, powdery embrace emerges, grounded by a warm, delicate base of iris, sandalwood, and a whisper of vanilla, offering a comforting yet refined finish.
