About This Perfume
Untold Absolu by Elizabeth Arden is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Untold Absolu was launched in 2014. Top notes are Plum, Raspberry, Ginger and Bergamot; middle notes are Egyptian Jasmine, Flowers and Narcissus; base notes are Tahitian Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Benzoin and Cashmere Wood. The fragrant collection Untold was initiated with the original edition Untold from 2013, which will stand with the classics of the house: franchises Red Door and Fifth Avenue. The first edition of the collection was signed by Clement Gavarry, providing a composition which would suggest several different aspects of a woman’s life. The successful first perfume Untold was succeeded by the livelier and lighter version Untold Eau Legere, also created by perufmer Clement Gavarry. The latest version is enhanced and more concentrated than the previous two, composed of a blend of luxurious flowers combined with red plum and black currant resting on a magnetic base of amber. Fruity notes of red plum and black currant leave a juicier and sweeter impression, blending rich floral aromas, additionally warmed with amber. The new version, UNTOLD ABSOLU is warmer, fruitier and more floral than the previous two, and arrives in a flacon with the same form as previous editions, in somewhat darker, golden-yellow shade. Fragrance ELIZABETH ARDEN UNTOLD ABSOLU is already available on the market and can be obtained as 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

FAQ
Common questions.
From community discussion. Scendira reads what people say about a perfume on forums, social groups and video platforms, then turns it into scores for longevity, projection and blind-buy safety. Notes and accords come from public catalogue data. We say nothing when there is too little evidence to judge.
A perfume judged relatively approachable without trying it first. The Blind Buy Safety score combines community ratings and first-wear reports with catalogue data, not marketing. Skin chemistry still varies, so sample first when you can.
No. Scendira is not affiliated with any fragrance house and does not take paid reviews. No brand can pay to rank higher or be recommended by Dira. Buy links are affiliate links: we may earn a small commission, and you pay the same price.
