When I think of New York, other than Broadway, 5th Avenue is often the street that pops to mind.
Laced with all the famous stores, the New York Public Library, The Empire State and The Met Museum, 5th Avenue is easily a place where I could feel right at home.
My 5th Avenue embodies all that is New York. The light, uplifting fresh fragrance in the tall skyscraper shaped bottle that gently lingers all day and leaves a lasting impression, has quickly become one of my favourite fragrances.
The Packaging and the Fragrance
What’s not to love in a tall, chic, champagne toned bottle with gold accents. Described as a sparkling fresh floral, it reminds me of a celebratory crisp glass of bubbly.
With hints of citrus followed by notes of Lotus flower and Jasmine, the fragrance is light, yet invigorating.
Who Wears it?
My 5th Avenue is a celebration of the ambitious woman. It’s for those days when you need to put on confidence, which I think every woman of all ages can identify with.
“This fragrant celebration of a woman’s rightful ambition and limitless possibilities embodies the energy, culture and sights that are quintessentially Fifth Avenue. An invigorating floral, it blends citrus notes, musks and wood notes for a fragrant reminder of the sparkling scent of success. NEW Elizabeth Arden My Fifth Avenue. Embrace the possibilities.”
My 5th Avenue Body Lotion
The ultimate way to ensure that your fragrance lingers longer is to include a body lotion of the same fragrance into the mix.
How wonderful that Elizabeth Arden has given us a body lotion to wear alongside this gorgeous perfume.
Packaged in a white, elegant plastic bottle and placed next to the perfume bottle, you have a duo of beautiful skyscrapers on your dresser.
