Elizabeth Arden Red Door Review

Red Door is one of signature scents, I’m greedy and actually have a total of 5 that I call my signature scent but Red Door holds more than just a beautiful scent for me, it was what my husband first brought me when we was dating, it’s also the one fragrance that when I wear it he goes all dough-boy on me and goofy, he can call it out even if I’m in another room. It has a warm lingering thing going on and it’s kind of magical. The bottle is elegant and timeless; 100ml bottle sat on my dresser stands out amongst the others as it’s quite statuesque. A tall clear glass bottle that allows you to see the liquid inside, etched with the panelling effect of a door, the gold atomiser and topper of the glass is pretty and classic, with the red door logo embossed into it. Finishing off with a clear acrylic red chunky square lid. Which all works perfectly to give you the perfect amount of perfume each and every time you spray it, the tubing off of the atomiser does reach the bottom so all the product can be used. Fragrance wise it’s hard to explain as it sprays differently than it settles, as sprayed its oriental scented, with hints of poppies or lilies and faint whiffs of spices, but once on and warmth by your skin its lingers as a musk which has a depth of spices, it sticks around too a few spritzs in the morning will see you through to dinner.

First off, unwrapping the redesigned bottle is a treat. It's now a red pressed glass bottle in the shape of a door, and a very attractive addition to your fragrance collection. Having never bought this scent before - probably because of the old red and gold packaging, I was pleasantly surprised with the floral scent. Yes it probably does suit a slightly older consumer profile, but I was happy to use this and I will continue to do so. The staying-power of this fragrance was actually quite staggering. After about 12 hours, it's still there. However, it's not an over-powering scent at all, and really pleasant for every day use. It also got the thumbs-up from my hubby, which is of course, quite important. Over all, it scored high marks with me.

I've been wearing this for a few days now and love it. It's fragrance is strong, floral but no overpowering. I love that the smell lasts the whole day and doesn't need a top up. I've also received a few compliments as well. Some perfumes also make me sneeze after spraying but this one doesn't. I also love the bottle, much more modern then the original Red Door.

I'm in love with wearing this purfume, I've read alot that it's for the "older" woman, But i think that's not ture. You would only want to spray very little though as it can be rather strong on the scense's. I do one spray on my neck and that's it, and i can still smell it on me hour's later, It really has staying power. The packaging is cute and much more appealling than the red door bottle i remember. I find also that maybe an hour after applied it really settle's down and is alot nicer. I love the fact that with red door, you can walk past someone and the scent wooshes past them lol love it! it's very rare that an affordable purfume has that effect I've found. I think every woman who love's bold scent's should have a bottle of red door in thier purfume collection.

I love the new updated bottle Elizabeth Arden have given Red Door, but that's as far as it goes for me. I found the fragrance powdery and sweet to begin with then bold and over bearing, one spray goes along way so I commend them for a lasting perfume! I found it cloying and, over the course of the day, it made me feel quite unwell as it over powered my senses. Unfortunately Red Door does not get my vote :(

A classic Elizabeth Arden fragrance. The new packaging and bottle design is a wonderful face lift for this product. A very good every day fragrance that lasts the day. It is very true in this case that a little goes a long way. Use this fragrance sparingly or it has the ability to be very overpowering. This fragrance has lasted the test of time and is a favourite for many women. Although having said that, fragrance is a very personal thing and often what appeals to one person may not appeal to the next. Always use a tester before purchasing something as personal as a fragrance. Red Door is not expensive and as it is a fairly large bottle really good value for money.

I really can't stand this perfume. It's just too overpowering to my senses. Its just straight up cloying. Yeesh. I don't recommend this perfume to anyone who favours a fresh, clean scent. I've also noticed a lot of older women tend to favour this; and walking past them on the street when they wear this perfume.. is overwhelming. Can't deny that this is a memorable fragrance though!

I really don't understand the hype around Red Door. I guess when something has been around for this long there must be people out there that like it (my aunt for one) but it really doesn't sit well with me. I find it too strong and quiet an "old" scent, not modern or youthful.

I LOVE Red Door!! It is one of the few perfumes that I can wear and get complimented on by everyone walking past me. It's a beautiful scent that lasts all day - and only one quick spray is really enough. It makes a perfect gift and every woman should have a beautiful bottle of Red Door on her dressing table!

this is amazing im in the younger generation and every time ive smelt red door it has been by the older generation im trying to get my friends and everyone into this as it is the best all round perfume... it lingers on clothes which lasts very long and in some cases even can smell the perfume after ive washed my clothes which makes them smell that much better i dont know anyone that has used this product say one bad thing about it the price range is good and the shape and look of the bottle is clever and eye catching pleaseeeee dont change a thing i soooo love this and im due to buy another one soon i love it that much :)
