Elizabeth Arden's New Fragrance "Untold"

OK, ladies, you know how it is. You want to know that you smell good, but you have to be respectful of the folks around you who are super sensitive to fragrance. Well, have I got news for you! I've discovered Elizabeth Arden's new fragrance, "Untold." Here's the manufacturer's promo on it:

"There’s an untold story behind every multi-faceted, modern woman who is thriving in her life’s journey.The world never sees all of her, but can only steal a glimpse at a time. Untold is the mystery behind her smile, the purpose of her stride, the inspiration in that spontaneous moment and the dreams that light up her eyes. Untold is the mystery behind every stolen moment of this woman life."

There are not many women I know who wouldn't want that description to fit them. So, kudos to the marketing team at Elizabeth Arden. 

But, let's get to the bottom line... what's the product like? To me, fragrance is kind of like wine. What appeals to me isn't going to appeal to everyone. When it comes down to fragrance, I prefer a bit of spice, a little musk, a touch of flowers and, above all, subtlety. I want people to be aware that I just walked by because there was a pleasant change in the air around them, not because they caught a whiff of perfume. And, this is that fragrance. It's no more obtrusive than the scent of a luxury bath soap.


Here's the "smelling notes": 

• Heart notes

  Gardenia, Peony, Jasmine

• Top notes

  Blackcurrant, Luscious Raspberry, Pink Pepper

• Base notes

  Sandalwood, Patchouli Heart, Musk

• Scent

  Oriental Floral

• Feel

  Feminine

And, I found the price to be reasonable within the realm of designer fragrances, especially if purchased on sale.
