Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue NYC Red is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Clément Gavarry. 5th Avenue NYC Red opens with Red Apple, Red Currant, Bergamot, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, Orange Blossom, Violet, and Dahlia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue NYC Red carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive scent: some find it a delightful, grown-up red apple, while others are underwhelmed by its perceived weakness or a floral shift. A warm, fruity floral with a hint of spice, it’s a solid choice for cooler days.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

5th Avenue NYC Red opens with a vibrant, juicy blast of red apple and red currant, brightened by a touch of bergamot and a hint of pink pepper. This fruity zest smoothly transitions into a rich floral heart where jasmine sambac and violet intertwine with the unique, slightly green nuances of dahlia. The drydown settles into a comforting base of warm amber and cashmeran, softened by musk and creamy sandalwood, leaving a sophisticated trail.
