If this same scent were put in a bottle from a “chic designer” and marketed under a different name , I bet the reviews would not be so harsh . i am a huge fan of 80/90s florientals (Lou Lou, Poeme, Samsara, Tuscany por Donna) but Red Door is just too strong for me. Many years after elementary school (fast forward to highschool and college) i was still able to tap into my scent memory and craved that smell ( what unbeknownst to me was Red Door) .

I wouldn't want to wear only those, any more than I would want to listen to exclusively "Oldies" music. Being a child of the '60's, I still associate Elizabeth Arden with luxury lines of cosmetics and fragrance. It comes off softer like you’ll smell like you just got out of the shower or it’s just the smell of your shampoo. As my brain's database and evaluating process has continued to increase over time, here's another perfume that I am glad I revisited!My six year daughter sprayed one squirt on her shirt this afternoon and just through casual contact both my husband and I are now wearing Red Door. They sell badly handmade chunky silver jewellery, wooden boxes with no practical purpose, hemp handbags, tacky 'Chinese' figurines, gemstones, incense and candles.

After 5 minutes or so I begin to smell the sweeter fruits and roses coming through, along with a distinctly soapy element and a waxy, almost lipstick-like note. If I get a whiff of this, I instantly traveled back in time, when I was small, and my mother was getting ready for work.

The heat of the summer sun making the berries smell cling firmly to your skin, as you lay there only to be awoken by the farmer son who laughs and asks for your name. This has been my signature scent a couple times ( once in high school and then again in my late 20’s). The EDP variation starts very much like the old Russian perfume Moscow Rouge, with carnations and rose odor, but than very quickly changes into a rich and smoothly bound heap of various flowers.

I used to work at Dillard’s back in 2007 , I remember smelling red door and loving it , I was 19, the girls there would all laugh and say it smells like grandma or old lady perfume but I didn’t let the snide comments stop me from being open minded about fragrances. This perfume is a floral, creamy, sweet, slightly soft spicy, and honeyed beauty and I will never be w/out it again! I smelled the new version and ugh its weak and sweet smelling like everything else on the market currently.
