But is there a major masterpiece in the EA cannon? It isn’t one of my favorite houses.

The Original 5th Avenue was some Seriously Sexy Refined Juice! I Loved it! Very Warm and Vaguely Floral, But Refined, Sensuous almost and RICH Smelling, Like 5th Avenue should be. it was IMHO a Minor Masterpiece in the EA Canon… not something to send shivers down one’s spine, but definitely a great smelling perfume! this sounds Lusciously Delicious! YUM! smelling it already in my head!

I wore 5th Avenue when it first came out and remember liking it then, but this flanker sounds like the fruit salad sundae special.

Quite sure YSL has them beat.

It is odd, isn’t it? Just shows how little control perfumers have over what they make….they’re working to please the brand.

Someone needs to do a count – Fifth Avenue and Red Door strike me as having some of the most (non seasonal) flankers ever.

I just think it’s weird that the creator of one of my top 3 scents (haven’t found the other 2 yet!) L’homme Sage is the nose behind this AND baby phat fabulosity. Somehow I wish I never knew that.

Embarrassingly, in my younger years I wore waaaay too much of that Red Door of theirs. So all I think about when I think of Elizabeth Arden is having the ability to clear a room.

Yes, they are! I only smelled Pretty very quickly, but it wasn’t as interesting as it could have been.
