Classic fragrance

I've worn this on and off over a few years. It's a long-lasting scent, floral with a wee bit of spice but not fruity which I like. While I would wear it again, it's not my first choice however it's a well established fragrance, probably aimed at a slightly older audience and if you like something a bit stronger this might be the thing for you. Cute packaging as well!

Red Door

This is one of my favourite fragrances. This is the smell that I would always smell as a child, this is my mum's favourite perfume. I love the spicyness to it. It's gentle but has a bit of a kick to it. I absolutely love it. I personally would never wear it, but that's just because I've grown up smelling it on my mum, and now it's like it's her signature smell. However I definitely recommend it.

Tips: Don't use too much as it will get overpowering.

Classic Perfume

I have had this perfume numerous times over the years and must say its best suited for mature person or a strong woman (meaning skin tone, as I am maori and its suits me perfectly) as the scent can be quite powerful. Its great for daywear, as I wore it for work (its lasts for hours) as the saying goes a lil goes a long way. Although it was released many years ago older I love the classic rose red perfume scent.

Tips: Same as all my perfumes, stored in original packaging/box, kept out of sunlight and heat. Its a definitely a must have in any collection for over 30 years.

Over-rated and over-powering!!

I honestly cannot understand how this fragrance is so popular!! Maybe I'm not the right target age group for it (I get the impression it's a more mature ladies scent- a classic that's been around for years and people that have had it keep getting it?!) I'm not sure- but I'm sure of one thing this fragrance is definitely not for me!!

The bottle is classy and classic- a simple design that looks beautiful. The price is reasonable as well - that's about the only positives I have .., The scent is just so overpowering and very distinct - not a bad thing if you don't mind it but for me I can smell it a mile away (and it's not good!) ... Usually I'm a huge fragrance fan but this one just failed to win me over.

Tips: Spray sparingly?! Lol, for the sake of the likes of me ;)

Elizabeth Arden Red Door

This perfume was long lasting and lasted all day. In the end I didn't like how strong it was and didn't wear it often because of it. It smells nice but just far too strong for me because it overpowers everything else when I was wearing it. I love the bottle it's so cute and it's easy to use.

Tips: Don't spray on too much it can be overpowering

Mmm i love the cute door

It smells funny but its really good. I would rather buy the other Arden purfumes but this one is definitely one to try. I wore it to work and it lasted a long time and sometimes I just liked smelling my clothes coz it smelt so good.

Tips: Put on neck and clothes at front where you and others can smell.

Lovely Perfume

I've been a fan of Red Door for many years now. It comes in a gorgeous red bottle and I buy the spray - although I understand it comes also in a non spray bottle. I find it very feminine and sweet and but not too 'flowery'. It is exotic and not too far in fragrance from opium (my favourite perfume). I find it lasts around 4 hours per day, as I prefer it for a day perfume. I usually have the 50 mls EDT which costs around $50 and I believe this is a good price as it lasts for ages. I would recommend it to anyone who likes an exotic sweet perfume.

Tips: Spray on areas prone to heating to regenerate it at intervals.

Red Door = iconic classic

I was lucky enough to get this perfume from the previous beauty vault -thanks BR! Red Door is really known as an iconic fragrance, so I really wanted to try this for myself.

Firstly, the perfume is in the shape of a red door, which is distinctive in itself. It looks elegant and different than other perfume bottles I have on my dresser. The gold top looks lovely against the red colour of the bottle.

Secondly, the scent is hard to define but it's a lovely mix of florals (rose, jasmine, violets, lilies and more) yet smells slightly spicy as well. I find it to be a beautiful scent that is quite different to the other fragrances I own.

Just a little spray really lasts for a significant amount of time. Even after a full day I can smell the lingering notes of this fragrance. The staying power really is amazing.

I think some people may view this as an 'older lady' scent but I think it really can appeal to a wide range of women as its such a classic and sophisticated scent.

Overall I'm impressed and glad I got to try this lovely, timeless fragrance.

For those of you who haven't tried this fragrance, go ahead you might be surprised!

Tips: Only spray a small amount, too much and it can be slightly overpowering.
