Perfume Parlour Greenwich For Women is an Eau de Parfum. Greenwich For Women opens with Linden Tree, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Magnolia, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Iris. Perfume Parlour's Greenwich For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget take on Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue. Greenwich captures that airy, luminous linden-and-lilac opening over a classic jasmine-tuberose floral heart and soft vanilla-musk base. Reviews are mixed - some find it close, others flag an extra sweetness not in the elegant original - but the sophisticated floral shape is recognisable.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

The airy linden-led florals make this a refined scent for spring and autumn, a little soft for high summer and not rich enough for deep winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Elegant, restrained and close-wearing - ideal for the office, daily wear and dates, polished enough to edge into formal; too soft for sport.

About

Greenwich chases the luminous, timeless floral of Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue - the airy, sophisticated bouquet that has been an office-floral staple since the 90s. It opens clean and dewy with linden blossom, lilac and magnolia, brightened by bergamot and mandarin, that fresh, almost honeyed lift the original is known for. The heart blooms into a rich classic floral of jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang, softened by velvety peach, powdery violet and a touch of carnation. The drydown turns soft and sophisticated with vanilla, musk, sandalwood, iris and amber. Against the original it captures the recognisable shape and the elegant, measured mood, but reviews are genuinely mixed: some wearers find it close, while others note an extra sweetness here that the airy, restrained 5th Avenue does not have. Like the original, sillage stays close to the body, suiting professional settings; longevity is moderate. What you get is a refined, classic floral for a fraction of the cost - just expect a slightly sweeter, less airy reading. Best in spring and autumn, an easy pick for the office, daily wear, dates and smart occasions.
