Elizabeth Arden Red Door Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray - New Edition

Elizabeth Arden Red Door Eau de Toilette 100ml — sometimes presented in a New Edition flacon — is one of the great floral classics of late-1980s perfumery. Launched in 1989 and signed by master perfumer Carlos Benaïm, it pairs a bright opening of rose, plum, orange blossom, violet, peach and anise with a vast, opulent floral heart of carnation, honey, tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, lily, freesia, lily-of-the-valley and orchid, on a warm base of sandalwood, amber, benzoin, musk, heliotrope, vetiver and cedar.

About Elizabeth Arden

Elizabeth Arden was founded in New York in 1910 by Florence Nightingale Graham, who took the trade name "Elizabeth Arden" and opened her famous red-door salon on Fifth Avenue. The Red Door fragrance — named after that iconic salon door and presented in a deep red-tinted flacon — has been one of the brand's most enduring signature fragrances since launch, with a confident, full-bodied floral character that defined the late 1980s.

Who it's for

Red Door suits women who appreciate vintage-style, full-bodied floral perfumery — those drawn to fragrances such as Yves Saint Laurent Paris or Estée Lauder Beautiful. The composition reads as polished, mature and unmistakably feminine, and is at its best in autumn and winter for evening, dinner and formal contexts.

How to wear it

Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin and spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Red Door is famously potent: one or two sprays usually balance well; over-application can quickly become overwhelming.
