Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Style

Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Style

Elizabeth Aden will be launching a new fragrance under its 5th Avenue feminine Fragrances this fall.  The 5th Avenue Style, a fruity-floral-oriental fragrance, was created by famous perfumery Givaudan’s Yann Vasnier.

Yann Vasnier was quoted as saying

“When creating the 5th Avenue Style, I was inspired to capture a new energy… to entice the wearer with the experience of being on the 5th Avenue today… … This fragrance is for a women … able to capture her own style, shopping for distinct pieces that make her feel special, chic and apart from the crowd.”  (via moodiereport)

Raspberry, marigold and Italian bergamot lie in a top together with sexy, pink pepper. A heart adds petals of peony, plum, peach, New York apple blossom and white chocolate truffle. A base incorporates vanilla, moss and white musk.

Oak moss is a commercial name for several kinds of mosses and lichen.  For perfume, the most used is concrete, resin, and resinoid of oak moss, that possesses a heavy earthly odor.  They give a natural tone to a perfume composition.

This new fruity-floral-oriental fragrance for women is a flanker to the original’s Elizabeth Arden 1996 5th Avenue that comes after the 2005’s 5th Avenue After Five Fragrance.  The fragrance bottle is a reinterpretation of the original 5th Avenue bottle, inscribed with bold bronze graphics.  The outer box portray a matching bronze/copper color scheme.

The fragrance that will be available from September 2009 onwards, comes in a 75 and 125 ml Eau de Parfum spray. They are priced domestically at US$46 and US$56 respectively.
