Elizabeth Arden Arden Beauty is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Antoine Lie. Arden Beauty opens with Rice, Green Notes, Bergamot, and Iris, settles into a heart of Rhubarb, Lily, Orchid, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Elizabeth Arden's Arden Beauty carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

An absolute bargain hidden under your nose. Arden Beauty is a clean, fresh, and gentle floral-green that punches way above its price point. It's truly an unsung hero, a quiet crowd-pleaser that smells far more expensive than it is.

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

Arden Beauty opens with a crisp, dewy greenness, immediately followed by the delicate, powdery touch of iris and the subtle, comforting earthiness of basmati rice. As it settles, a floral heart emerges, featuring watery lotus and lily, given a hint of tartness and zest by rhubarb and ginger. The dry down is a soft, clean musk warmed by amber and a whisper of sandalwood, leaving a serene, fresh-out-of-the-shower trail.
