About This Perfume
Think sweet rose powder, musky honeyed softness: that is Elizabeth Arden Red Door 25 Eau de Parfum EDP. It opens with blackcurrant nectar, rose water and violet leaf absolute, moves into Indian jasmine sambac absolute, rose absolute and Turkish rose absolute and settles on honey, musk and patchouli (an earthy, dark leaf). It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
As an eau de parfum, it is best in spring, fall and winter. A good pick for casual days and date nights. Released in 2014. Perfumer: Carlos Benaïm.
On skin it lasts a solid half day and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: people who want a floral and powdery scent for casual days.
- Sample first if: you need a safe pick; people either love or dislike it.
- Skip if: you find sweet scents cloying.
Around $60, a mid-priced floral perfume.
