Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1936. Blue Grass opens with Bergamot, Neroli, Orange Blossom, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Elizabeth Arden's Blue Grass carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

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.

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.
