Say what you will of Elizabeth Arden, but the lady does have style.

This is definitely a fresh, just got out the shower,daytime type of perfume. I was excited for the jasmine note in it but that note is very strong. Almost too strong for me.. I like powdery scents but the initial spray on this is very overwhelming. Once it settles down it's a lot nicer but I agree with other reviewers that say this doesn't last very long. After 2 hours I couldn't smell it on myself. I was expecting it to be a little reminiscent of the original Red Door but they are not similar at all. I don't think I'd buy this again
