Blue Grass

Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1936. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Lily, Orange Blossom, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Bay Leaf, Jasmine, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Musk, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Blue Grass: Statement

This isn't just a perfume; it's a rite of passage. If you're a fan of big, bold vintage aldehydic florals, you'll adore it after a bit of patience. If not, best steer clear, as its powerful and unique character isn't for everyone.

Its moderate sillage and powerful longevity mean a light hand is needed for the office, but its clean, classic warmth makes it suitable. It's too complex and refined for sporty activities, shining best in formal or casual settings where its unique vintage charm can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

About

Upon first spray, Blue Grass delivers an assertive aldehydic and spicy blast, like walking into a bustling spice market. This quickly softens, revealing a heart of powdery carnation and aromatic lavender, infused with a hint of warm white florals, particularly jasmine. The drydown settles into a comforting, clean and subtly woody musk with earthy vetiver and a touch of sweet benzoin, wrapping you in sophisticated elegance.
