Elizabeth Arden Red Door Review

Lasts all day, very vintage flowery smell, is nice when worn at the right occasions. However I agree with Plumpy completely, this perfume has been ruined by people wearing it at supermarkets and pubs, I feel like there is no appreciation for this fragrance any-more and that it has received a bad reputation. It is a love-hate situation for me, its gorgeous worn at the right occasion, but unfortunately to many women wear it anywhere and everywhere.

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!

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.

I got a 10ml spray perfume in a package withother Elizabeth Arden scents to trial and this one is my least favourite of the bunch, it’s so in your face strong and gives me an instant headache if I spray too much. The scent described really sounded like I’d enjoy this fragrance, every notes called for me, but somehow too much of the good scents came together and created a pungent smell that really reminds me of an old lady with too much makeup on and a big hat that has flowers on it, lol. I used up this perfume for work, I do this to all my not liked perfumes, it took like a month to use this 10ml up due to not being able to spray too much of it, didn’t wanna scare the customers away. The bottle is very pretty though, and reading all the good reviews maybe this perfume just didn’t work on my skin(or clothes or hair), but this really didn’t do it for me, I’m sorry!
