Agree with justfloral’s comment on ‘lilac bush after rain’ Does not SMELL like lilac to me, but the impression is very much there: wet, earthy, floral.
Its dewy and airy, like rain, ozone and a lotus filled garden. It’s calming and comforting. I went through a bottle in a month and now I’m thinking about it again, craving it. This is one of their best scents for sure. My only gripe is the bottle, the sprayer is more liquid squirt than fine spray, but maybe it was just the bottle I had.

Lilac bush after a solid rain + jasmine + metallic, aquatic, grassy note (incense + lily?). Very “zen”, japanese fragrance, one of Arden’s best ones.

I just got this last week and it was cold then but i tried it today ..i like it..my type of scent light and clean..i take care of my 6 month old granddaughter..no one complains certainly not the ones with allergies.. 🙂

Tips for blind buying: google the fragrance first….check notes…check what groups of fragrance that are more to your liking…
This one is a disappointment for me..the notes are so green on me…at some point its just bland….no sillage or lasting power….by tht i mean by 1 hour…youll forget that you sprayed this one on you earlier….dont blind buy folks unless you know what type of perfumes you like…as for me i fancy the oriental vanilla…hence, if somehow i decide to blind buy again ill find something that is within that group..for this arden beauty i score 3/10
Eldar2007.81 – :
I bought this after reading the reviews. I really like it. It’s a light green floral that’s perfect for warm weather. The green notes don’t last long on me then the not overly sweet florals kick in.
edzismedzis – :
First 2 hours this fragrance smell like deodorant exactly for me. Then I can smell something pleasent for the rest. I can smell amber and musk blend so well. Its a little spicy. The projection good and the longevity 6 hours for me. Its light so you can use it as your daily fragrance.
moshost24 – :
smells so RAW, like a beautiful natural woman skin.pure like a runlet. but also some coquettish delicate lipstick.
I wish I can find something like this but stronger.
But on hot weather, I love that you can rapply without worries.
Batyushin – :
Well now, isn’t this an underrated little gem. Don’t let the ridiculously low price deceive you – this is a quality frag and in no way does it smell cheap. Perfect for the warmer months, the ginger and rhubarb lift this away from being just a boring floral, but it’s not a scent that is likely to offend anyone. I blind bought it after seeing it mentioned on this site, and I only bought 30ml, but I’ll probably get a bigger bottle when I’ve used it up.
Djoni – :
Arden Beauty seems much heavier on the sandalwood and amber than fragrantica votes would suggest. Generic, sharp, long lasting. Heavy and substantial glass bottle. Overall, a “no go” for me.
syy013Bessinepome – :
Lord how I wish Elizabeth Arden manufactured better looking bottles….Or at least ones that did not look like they were drugstore clearance fragrances. And the cheap looking spray nozzles. Not only that, but it looks like they modeled this bottle after D&G’s “for women” from 1992….But I digress. As always, it is what the fragrance itself smells like and how it performs that matters to me (but I can still secretly wish for prettier bottles, lol..).
Arden Beauty is what I call the typical very basic “perfume smell”. Not particularly memorable (unless it causes an allergic reaction or something). Would this be a fragrance I would seek out or purchase had this not been a blind buy..? Highly doubtful…But it reminds me of something my mom would enjoy, and being I no longer have my mom, reminders of her are always a good thing to me. But I purchased this in hopes to have a new addition to my Spring and Summer fragrance “arsenal,” and while it is not a dislike at all, I do not see me reaching for this one very much at all. I will say, this can be borderline screechy on me at times. Pretty sure the rhubarb note is doing that. Rhubarb notes can be tricky to my nose…so yeah, this is just not a fave of mine. But it is okay. Certainly not a dislike!! All in all..It is “okay”. Moderate sillage and longevity.
4grey4 – :
Well this was a pleasant surprise. I’d never bought this before or even tested it even though it’s been around for a while I always gave it a miss. I decided to buy a bottle online that I found cheap and it arrived today. Gosh I love perfumes like this in Winter, it reminds me a bit of CK One Red Edition, I find it quite aquatic and woody. It’s very feminine and I’m amazed at how strong and long lasting it is. I can’t believe I hadn’t tried this before now, I never expected it to be so good 🙂
oleg-spirit – :
This was one of my first ‘grown-up’ fragrances that I asked my mother to buy for me and boy was it a mistake! I loved the smell from the bottle, but once it hit my skin the lily and musk absolutely screamed off of me until I was forced to scrub it off. Whew, I remember it was so sharp, green and musky on me. I do still have the bottle for sentimental reasons, but I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole now since it’s back from the date of its release in 2002, LOL!
russell – :
One of the few “women’s” Beast-mode scents, scoring 10/10 from me for performance (Sillage, or Projection moderate to enormous, depending on application as well as Longevity/ Duration – this one wears like a champion, lasting 12 hours or more).
EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO Mugler’s Aura Mugler. The unique rhubarb note is prominent in each, and that *does* provide a strong similarity between the two. They’re not dopplegangers for one another (as in, not ‘dupes’) but siblings to be sure, like two different children from the same parents. The similarity is uncanny and hit me the MOMENT I first wore Aura (as I’ve been wearing Arden’s Beauty for years and years now). The two are, at the least, like first cousins.
The scent to me is a good 9/10. This composition does read a tad bit “sharp” but only ever so slightly, and I find this girl has a slight ‘edge’ to her because of that hint of sharpness. Overall, she is chilly, bright, clean, and feminine without apology. Ladylike to be sure, but do not confuse her for timid or unsure. This is the kind of fragrance that evokes an easy elegance; whether you wear her with a t-shirt and jeans or as the olfactory accessory to that classic blood-red velvet evening gown, Elizabeth Arden Beauty will completely ‘make’ the ensemble.
The sharpness subsides within 30 minutes of application (for me) and though the drydown doesn’t reveal individual notes, the overall composition is distinctive, unique, beautiful, memorable.
I see the comparison to Elizabeth Taylor’s Forever Elizabeth and will say this: they are likely cousins bearing similarities but not siblings, and certainly not twins. To my nose, Forever Elizabeth has a much, much softer projection but I think many who enjoy Forever Elizabeth and also appreciate similar, but bolder, scents, would very likely enjoy THIS aptly-named Beauty.
Sadly, many will more than likely deliberately overlook EA Beauty by simple virtue of the ridiculously-low price-point. But I will always have this excellent fragrance in my own collection and hope that EA never discontinues or reformulates her. From first sniff when she debuted to this very moment, Beauty holds a permanent place in my wardrobe as well as in my heart.
Just gorgeous!!!
Beautiful enough for me, in fact, to merit signature status (and, due to her affordability, she is a much more modest and intelligent choice to BE my signature given her excellence combined with hilariously-low pricing). Incidentally, when she debuted, I paid close to $50 USD for a small bottle.
But of course my signature changes all the time based on a whim.
sharap2512 – :
I bought this fragrance for the rhubarb note and because someone mentioned the similarity to Elizabeth Taylor’s Forever. I do really like the fragrance, although I cannot smell it on myself at all. I mostly smell the ginger and the iris in this one. It doesn’t smell much like Forever to me, but again, I like it a lot, because of the spice/floral combo, like a Floriental. For the price point it’s a great buy. I just wish is had more sillage on me.
SATIR–666 – :
I was given this by my Mum it’s ok I kind of like fresher sweet perfumes.I wear it in house or for work.No one’s said it’s awful so maybe it’s nice!
orvi2006 – :
I blind bought this fragrance this summer and I can’t say that I really like this one. On me it’s a very sharp, green and powdery smell. And as one fellow fragrantica member said it has a strange cigarette note,that I also picked up on. It’s not a horrible perfume, it’s just not my taste.
leazivaChedia – :
I love the smell of Arden beauty but it’s also very fleeting doesn’t last that long at all. Good summer scent or to the office!
mag35 – :
I have had this one for a while, not sure I liked it at first. But, I am wearing it in the summer now and this is a very nice hot weather perfume. I never had the experience of a perfume changing personality that much on the season.
It has a “tart” note and is not overpowering. I wear this one to the office a lot. very nice.
nut66 – :
My first sniff took me to an asian image, a fresh green field of rice, I don’t know why, I didn’t even know this perfume contains rice flower (rice flower? is that for real by the way?). But I absolutely love it, aquatic, fresh, clean, delicate and extremly feminine, long lasting,but not overwhelming, I feel it around me the whole day…
19bes94 – :
I love this perfume. First it smelled a little bitter green but the dry down was really great. I remember one of my lecturer stopped near me and said where is this smell from (in a good way).
Would i repurchase it? Yes definitely
Great everyday perfume, not offensive in anyway.
KiritinoL – :
I tested Beauty when my mother in-law had it in a 30ml bottle and I remember thinking it was too sharp and too green for my skin chemistry and no one seems to like obvious green notes on me, not even those who like green fragrances on themselves. I don’t know if the 100ml bottle is formulated differently, lighter or if my skin chemistry and tastes have changed. Now I think it’s bright or sparkly, not sharp nor offensive in any way.
Today when I tested it in store, the opening was bright but not sharp, it’s still a tad too green in the opening for my taste but it quickly morphs into the middle notes and musk on me. The woody note isn’t as strong as I remember either. It was never sweet on me but there’s something creamy in it which I’ve recently developed a taste for; on the creamier side of swwet rather than just sweet notes.
I ended up buying Dream Petals because I’d been so set on that fragrance since last year, but I’m beginning to wonder if Beauty is more my kind of fragrance at 40. For 100ml bottle, it was so cheap that once I run out of a couple of other safe fragrances, I’ll buy Beauty if I can still find it.
link000 – :
Fresh, airy, not too sweet, almost something ‘sparkling’ to it. Definitely feminine, but not overly girly. It’s not ‘too’ anything. It’s not too loud, it’s not too much, it’s not too warm or cool, not too weak or strong. It’s a perfect ‘every occasion’ scent. I feel like my review isn’t doing it justice… my descriptions make it sound plain and while I suppose it is in a way, it’s special in that it’s both refreshing and comforting. Soothing. Any weather, any woman, any situation. Understated but beautiful. Have repurchased and will again.
Tyborg89 – :
This is a lovely, light, bright whitish floral. Nothing too special but it will certainly make you smell good. Very office safe. Best for spring and summer, in my opinion. It would be good for church. The only “challenging” part is an odd little tiny stale cigarette smoke note in the bottle and just at the beginning. That dissipates very quickly but it does make me wonder a bit what they were thinking.
ckz198speagoessenda – :
Maybe Lotus ? I really hated the lotus note in this ! Way too green and aquatic
guff – :
Light, pleasant but it has a note that to me appears aquatic and I hate it – in all perfumes.
I think it’s generally inoffensive, I’d be fine with this scent if it weren’t for this one note. I’ve had to pass it on to someone who will appreciate it.
If anyone has an idea which note it might be so I can avoid it, I’d be grateful.
Def – :
Sweet, pleasant. For a more mature woman perhaps.
bakhtiyar – :
Where is honeysuckle? Even though it is not listed – this is how it opens on me. I thought I was confused and smelled one of my candles with honeysuckle scent – it’s identical.
It stays 5 min, then iris kicks in, then amber.
If I didn’t see the pyramid, I would think these are some warm yellow flowers (even dandelion)!
It is definitely warm-flowery.
kpch195 – :
I love the fresh green notes on this one.. perfect for a hot summer day… sadly, it does not last on my skin beyond 2 hours on a hot day (I stay in India)..
AntonZloi – :
Enough with old lady !!!!!!! If you don’t like, you don’t like, say my thing is not florals I like to smell like a pudding and that is nothing wrong with that!!!! But don’t denigrate a scent that others may love (as is my case) and label it with the death knell “old lady tag” !!!!! If you are unimaginative try other tags (like smells like an elephant in heat on MY skin) and understand that it is on YOUR SKIN and not in everyone else’s. And remember that barring an overestimated early death you will also become old and someone will belittle you with that same tag. There is no amount of cosmetic surgery that prevents you from aging.
That said Beauty on MY skin is a long lasting delightful spicy floral with lotus as main note and rhuibarb and ginger as secondary notes with a green undertone. On me it has moderate sillage and lasts for 7/8 hours suitable for all seasons, as it is not too sweet (which is the death knell on over 100F temps).
vzl576Unlogrere – :
Elizabeth Arden perfume Beauty is the one of the best from Elizabeth Arden collection . It is very lady , very elegant, very unusual fresh , crystal clear smell of flowers perfume with green notes . On my opinion , it is not powdery at all , just the green and crystal clear the perfume with flowers notes You can wear that perfume every days , even to the job and feel valuable lovely lady . The long lasting around 4 – 6 hours ( on the clothes it longer ) and the sillage is moderate . I prefer to wear it in the winter , the spring time , in the windy days . I would describe the woman , who wear that perfume like she is the beautiful , she is independent , she is sophisticated , she is desireable , she is the proud , she is the lady .
noima – :
This was my first blindbuy… and I disliked it quite a lot. I bought it for 15 Euro for 100 ml, so whatever. I was looking for a clean and Fresh scent and this was recommended for me. Oh well where do I start? So you could say that this is a Fresh/clean scent. BUT Not in a soapy/detergent/flowery way. Its very sharp and green and somehow spicey. It makes me think of rain for some reason. I gave it away because it was way too sharp for my liking.
vova5822 – :
I had this many years ago but I only smelled it again a few days ago. Now I can remember why I gave my bottle away.
The smell I get from the spray nozzle is nondescript – very hard to pick out specific notes. The notes come out more once I spray it on my skin, but on me they’re a complete mess. A first get a huge blast of alcohol, then HUGE green notes, iris, lotus and ginger – none of which work on me individually, and blended together, smell like sharp, powdery antiseptic. The dry-down intensifies the ginger and clashes with something I can’t quite place … It’s very strong though, and after a few hours of wearing it recently, I had to wash it off. I wouldn’t recommend it for close quarters.
Such a shame, as I know many women who adore this stuff. But I just can’t stomach it. That said, I’ve never really liked green fragrances, and this is the one that I think may have convinced me of that. I’m sure it’s my skin chemistry – just not for me.
koly222 – :
I ordered this online, and I got it today in the mail. I’ve been wearing it for a couple of hours now.
Do I like it? Yes I do! It smells clean, fresh and classy. It´s the kind of fragrance that you can wear everyday. This might sound weird, but I get in such a good mood, when I smell this. Just like Elizabeth Taylor´s “Forever Elizabeth.”
I also think this would work fine in places/situations where you have to interact with lots of people because it’s not overwhelming. The bottle is also nice and classy.
drituiferie – :
A delectable, wonderful, unique and lovely perfume! Elizabeth Arden you’ve done wonders! Again!!! Precious perfume. Really beautiful. It’s a strong contender for my favourite! My husband loves it too. It’s so intensely floral, which I LOVE! But I’m amazed at how much I love the rice flower and ginger! I’m not very experienced with perfumes, only having started to really buy them recently, and I never thought I would like ginger! And rhubarb?! But I love them!! I love this perfume totally! It’s super! And my husband reckons he loves the rice flower the most! I can definitely smell it too. Gorgeous smell!
Amazing things!!!
And what’s more it lasts a heck of a long time, and the sillage is great. Perfection!
peremen88 – :
Found a 100ml bottle today perfectly sealed at an op shop for $5.00 so I have never smelt this scent before always walked passed it and bee lined for my heavy oriental scents. So in saying that first spray on wrist I get a blast of strong ginger and and floral mix. Then about 15 minutes a smell of fresh cucumber comes through to my nose (the green scent) now it’s on the dry down and I sense a light powdery scent (sandalwood poking through with a hint of ginger and still fresh and light. As I never buy green scent perfumes for the price I paid why not try it out. This fragrance will not offend others stay close to your personal space. Great scent for springtime so this will get a good try then we are in winter now do my bold fragrances are out in force. Arden Beauty does have a beauty of her own unusual in a way. Wouldn’t say I love it but if give it a chance at the right time may become something more
Crazy_BABA – :
Oh this is my FAVOURITE scent!!! I have tried it today for the first time, and I AM IN SEVENTH HEAVEN!!! It’s so gorgeous! I love love love it! It’s the most gorgeous perfume I’ve EVER smelled! Oh goodness! It’s divine! I can’t get enough of it! IT’S TRULY BEAUTIFUL!!! God Elizabeth Arden, you are fantastic! I can’t believe how much I love your perfumes! I only tried my first one 3 weeks ago, and I’m completely besotted. This one is it though! The best (mind you, I haven’t tried all of them yet! – give me time!) I put it on at 4.30am, and it’s still beautiful and strong now, at 12noon. Goodness me! Mmmmmm! Delicious stuff!!! Very florally and fruity mainly for me, but I believe I can smell every beautiful ingredient – amazing! And the sillage is great too!
Thank you Elizabeth Arden for giving me such a wonderful experience!! Swoon!
ogo100 – :
I have received today “Beauty”, and I am absolutely thrilled. “Beauty” is beautiful! Gorgeous! It is a sweet, powdery fragrance, but not the sweet which gives you headaches, but an elegant sweet. I can smell notes of lily and iris, it is definitely a floral perfume. Good for day wear, but I will give it a try tonight at my students’ high school prom, because it is elegant and seems to suit night wear as well.
I am a fan of sweet fragrances and I am totally pleased with “Beauty”.
Surely will purchase again.
Kalgan1984 – :
This is one of those perfumes that I bought for few women in my family for Xmas/birthdays and they all liked it! In the end I got tempted to get it for myself too..Sweet, but not too sweet, grown-up, but not heavy like most grown-up scents, it`s a safe choice, I guess and usually you can get it at a great price, so it`s a winner really..Nothing outstanding, but still pretty.
cthutdyf79 – :
Admittedly there is a sudden sharp cold blast at first spray … but don’t judge this little gem on her over excited entrance.
Give her a moment to gather herself and the classy, elegant, understated beauty will be revealed.
She is sexy…but not promiscuous.
She is subtle…but not demure.
She is confident…but not arrogant.
She could build an empire…in her bare feet, toes tucked into wet sand and wearing nothing but a smile 🙂
L: Moderate
S: Soft
This is the girl every man’s mother hopes he will bring home…and every man’s father dreams of 🙂
tramerstendss – :
Smells beauty mature perfume.soft sweet floral with a little musky or can I say green smell.I like it for it has a character for formal occasions but heavy for daily wearing.sillage and longevity not that great maybe because of hot and humid weather. Why did I say that?when I wear it in air conditioner room or rainy and windy day, it will show you it truth beauty.
CLASSIC777 – :
Gorgeous perfume but doesn’t work with my skin. 😉
I have a full bottle up for trade if anyone in the States is interested.
pavel1 – :
Calm fragrance. Nothing bold or peculiar about it. This is the perfect fragrance if you simply want to blend in.
Markovkin – :
It smells good and when you sniff it in the bottle, it feels relaxing but it’s not for everyday use. This was my perfume when I was in college and people find this scent offensive. I only did 2 sprays but this one makes me dizzy. This is good for work, though as it smells very professional.
severok122 – :
I love wearing this one in a rainy day because this fragrance is really polite and calming.
It’s opening with clean, classy and feminine floral scent. And then ginger scent comes to tone it down and make it smells warmer. It’s not super stand out but very memorable. It’s like when you meet someone who beautiful from inside&out. Her beauty would stuck in your mind forever.
Exactly like this perfume. You can not forget about it after you smelled it. That’s why it called ‘arden beauty’. 😉
The lasting power is very impressive. It lasts about 8 hours on my skin. If you’re looking for classy feminine perfume to represent your beauty, this is the perfect one for you. 🙂
CTAJIUH – :
Some nice fresh cut flowers, lotus and peppery green notes…
but they’re totally ovewhelmed by the overall artificial air-freshener sweetness. Gelly sweets and lily of the valley airfreshner – that’s 90% of my EA Beauty experience
Sorry, folks, there’s nothing sexy about this for me. I have a tester and I keep giving it a chance because there’s a note hidden in there which intrigues me but EA Beauty is one of my scrubbers.
horchel – :
When first sprayed this smells like a mix of parma violets (the little purple sweets from way back) in a field of spring flowers. After about half an hour the rhubarb comes through albeit faintly and finally settling into a light musk with a touch of amber and sandalwood. It stays close to the skin and is a subtle scent. I don’t think it could offend anyone but neither is it anything out of the ordinary. Its nice but not fantastic, certainly a floral green. It would be a good one to wear for work or for those who like a more traditional and subtle scent.
Houps – :
I couldn’t see the beauty of this fragrance for a long time, but today it hit me. This is a green little gem for spring. The sillage is soft.Perfect for all ages and ocassions. The opening is a mix of lotus, iris, green notes and lily. The ginger note is not overpowering, which is good for me. After two hours, it turns into a skin scent. Beauty is a very feminine fragrance.
McgAcursed – :
i love the lotus smell. On me, this is the smell that lasting. unfortunately the rhubarb smell (i think it mix with the ginger smell) disturb me. something spicy..And this smell is strong on the 1-2 hours. This is funny because I love provocative and the ginger and sandalwood smell are stronger. I read the review here and I bought this beauty online. So I asked my mum if she want to wear it and she said yes. If she said no, i’ll wear it anyway. since it’s not the smell of something that make my head spin or i have to cover my nose or even hold my breath or make me puke. fyi, i still cover my nose in some taxi/car, and run & hold my breath in the mall where the burn the perfume (esp when I’m visiting malls in UAE) in order not to get puke.
edwarddv – :
What an UNDER RATED BEAUTY! I can’t believe that someone said that this was “boring.” The price is dirt cheap but the smell is very complex and addictive! It is definitely a green woodsy spicy musky scent with some sweetness to it. Very unusual and not the run of the mill bubble gum skittle sickly sweet ready to eat scent that is crowing the market place. You may not like it the first time around. I didn’t. And something funny happened the second time around. It slapped me in the face and boy was I surprised to find out that this is a true beauty. Maybe it should be called Sleeping Beauty, because it was a sleeper the first time around! LOL!
Дюша – :
Perfect for work. inoffensive. Good amount of powdery smell.
Puhlik77 – :
This is a very inoffensive perfume. (I find it hard to identify the notes at all, so IMO it´s a bit boring and generic.) Perfect for occations where you can´t/shouldn´t smell to much, work for example. Definietly a dayscent.
Poor longevity and sillage. (Like almost all of EA´s perfumes sadly.)
ddimitroff – :
Perfect work perfume. Its subtle and very pleasant. Its definitely not for teenagers. Id say 25 and up. Its suits me well because Im 26 but look like 18 so it adds maturity. The sweet fruity ones are too girly.
AlgerDych – :
This is one of my favourite, a strong fragrance without being over the top. I feel the market is saturated with so many ‘sweet’ fragrances, I find this one so refreshing by comparison. The smell itself is very woody but sophisticated. For some reason I assume this is what the rich & famous naturally smell like (yes a weird thought I know). I ALWAYS get compliments on it when I wear it.
This fragrance is sold for ridiculously cheap here in Australia. At the moment 100ml bottle is being sold for $13 at Terry White Chemist. If I didn’t already have a truck load of other fragrances I need to go through, I’d pick up spares of this.
annaviktorovna – :
This is such a beautiful scent! Very subtle yet intriguing. There are days when I just crave this perfume. It makes me want to look good and beautiful. I adore it.
rrrrrr – :
I am so pleased for the positive comments that made me buy this fragrance otherwise i wouldn’t discover it. It is a real divine. Can’t stop smelling it. The second thing i am so happy is this fragrance is so similar to my dear perfume called Paco Rabanne XS which i was wearing it in my teenage years :). Thank you to Fragrantica members for the lovely reviews…
Димон Белый – :
And i must add that i think this is very underrated, because it truly is a very nice scent!
uldar12345 – :
This is such a nice fragrance! Sophisticated, a
Little floral, a little spicy and cosy.. It is what i imagine a kind and elegant teacher would have as her signature scent:-) it can be used all year around but i find it very apropriate in the colder months, because of the beautiful subtle spicyness:-)
visa_shorin – :
So is “sexy” the only thing people nowadays look for in a scent? What happened to “elegant”, “classy”, or “sophisticated”? Fragrances evoke moods and frankly I do not want to be in a “sexy” mood all day and night! There is a time and a place, but not 24/7! Anyway, here is my review for this exquisite perfume:
Do not let the description “green floral” throw you into thinking this is only for Spring and Summer. IMO it is much better suited to the Fall and Winter, the heat zaps this scent of its energy. This is a sophisticated, classy, elegant scent but delicate and subtle. The florals are exotic, modern aquatics that are cooled with iris and ginger(a cool spiciness!) and then warmed with sandalwood and amber and musk. Picture a Japanese garden in the Fall with red maples and green tea being served by a honey-eyed geisha with bamboo in the background and the playing of flutes drifting to you from the distance… Or a smartly dressed woman in a beige suit with an ivory silk blouse sitting at a cafe in Paris sipping her coffee while the wind whips the fallen oak leaves around the ankles of the passersby… There is a serenity that is crisp and energetic in this scent. It is very feminine and I would say is as wearable for the new college student as well as her mother or grandmother because this scent compliments the wearer’s own energy. This is lovely. And can easily become a signature scent of a woman who knows who she is and what she wants to show to the world. Not a “bedroom” scent, but who spends all their time in the bedroom? (Don’t answer that…)
Aleksey111111111111 – :
Beauty is a nice light perfume. In the beginning (at my skin) it opened with the green and bergamot notes and for about an hour I could smell the ginger taste. It was a strong opening that I wasn’t sure if I like or disliked. But after this hour,the musk and sandalwood notes poped up and it was an absolute beauty. It is a light perfume for a spring or morning or afternoon. Its duration is about 4-5 hours and its projection moderate.
evgenchy – :
It’s such a shame that only after visiting here today, have I felt compelled to use EA’s ‘Beauty’. Again. This is thanks to all you lovely well meaning humans who share a common passion for fragrances.
I haven’t worn this fragrance for over 4 years. Just because some Troll at the local Library made such a fuss over the aroma, This TROLL was continually pointing out to all the males at the computers and saying. ‘What’s that smell’? Believe me there are some bonofide sociopaths who visit the local libraries and she was one of them. Even though this troll wasn’t directing at me, off course not. There were dozens of males around I was the only other female, and ‘missy plain butt ugly’ had to put me down. A complete stranger yet vying for male attention in so much so as she in her vexatious manner, me being the buxom blonde at the library computers for a reason other than her agenda. Which. Mind you readers and fellow ‘Fragrantica’ members she was there for on line lonely heart sites. Each their own.
My ex hubby is a stalker, our computer was down, and me being a retired teacher insisted we my son keep up with his studies and to the library we went.
It was winter. I associated this fragrance with winter, though many of you like this in the summer.
Like this prejudiced troll, and yes a real troll indeed. Was she being paid my ex to publicly humiliate me?
Anyway. Thanks to you here on ‘Fragrantica’ and after reading the reviews here. I feel safe to enjoy this fragrance again.
I paid 10 Aussie dollars many, many moons ago for a 100 Mill Flacon slightly ‘Clinique ish’ in it’s design! It lasts all day on me and is quite strong , according to this troll, from a fair distance too. I just retrain my brain to stop feeling hurt by that bully troll, even though it was years ago.
Elizabeth Arden seems to live in the shadow of ‘Estee Lauder’, these two cosmetic houses I see as main rivals.
There is nothing really wrong with EA’s fragrances I am a huge fan and thank the universe that they are reasonably priced and accessible.
I like this fragrance on crisp cold frosty day’s even though reminiscent of L’Eau Issey’ which I like in the summer. This is in my opinion a Little ‘Beauty’.
Cheers T.

Just got a mini of this and was shocked. I was pleasantly surprised about the fragrance. This fragrance can hold its own with the big name designers. It came off very intense, then settled down to a warm floral. I’m looking on line and the price is very reasonable. I just got in an Oscar product & was disappointed at it because as soon as I sprayed it on it just completely die and they’re was no remnants of the fragrance half an hour later (glad I bought the small bottle). I will be purchasing this one with confidence in the future. I love it!
