Elizabeth Arden True Love is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1994, created by Sophia Grojsman. True Love opens with Green, Freesia, Peach, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Elizabeth Arden's True Love carries a Statement verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This Sophia Grojsman creation is a divisive one, sparking strong reactions from 'love it' to 'hate it'. If you're after a clean, powdery, Nivea-esque scent for quiet cosy moments, this budget-friendly classic might just be your True Love. But beware, some find it sharp, synthetic, or even reminiscent of baby wipes or bleach.

About

True Love opens with a burst of sweet apricot and peach, quickly softening into a gentle, powdery haze. Iris and orris root take centre stage, joined by a delicate bouquet of rose and lily of the valley, giving a clean, almost soapy impression. The dry down mellows to a comforting embrace of creamy sandalwood and amber, with a whisper of vanilla, settling into a soft, skin-like finish.
