Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996, created by Ann Gottlieb. 5th Avenue settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Iris. Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

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.
