Elizabeth Arden is an American beauty brand founded in 1910 by Elizabeth Arden, a businesswoman and pioneer in her field. Known for its skincare, cosmetics, and fragrance products, the brand has always focused on empowering individuals, especially women, through beauty and self-care. Elizabeth Arden introduced many new beauty treatments and was the first to establish the concept of a “beauty salon” focusing on skincare. She was also the first to incorporate her name into a beauty product (Elizabeth Arden Ardena Skin Tonic), and her company was the first to offer travel-size products.
The main focus of this brand remains to help people look and feel their best, and as Elizabeth created an empire in the beauty industry, she didn’t sleep on fragrances as they remained front and center in her journey. Her brand’s fragrance range is of classic and modern creations, from the fresh, uplifting notes of Green Tea to the sophisticated and sensual Red Door. Their fragrances are designed for diverse preferences. Another thing that makes this brand stand out is the fact that it’s accessible and luxurious at the same time.
The Red Door
Elizabeth Arden’s red door has been a landmark on Fifth Avenue since 1910. Behind that red door in New York City is where it all began. This iconic Red Door also fittingly became a symbol for women’s independence in the early 1900s, as it still is today.

Elizabeth Arden’s White Tea is a modern fragrance for the modern woman. The woody floral musk scent reflects simplicity, comfort, and understated elegance. It is reminiscent of a quiet moment of serenity, like sipping a warm cup of tea or enjoying a gentle ocean breeze.
The minimalistic yet sophisticated accords of White Tea make it versatile and suitable for everyday wear. Its sleek white bottle’s packaging reflects its purity and simplicity, aligning perfectly with the fragrance’s concept. This is an affordable scent that smells expensive. It aligns with the concept of quiet luxury, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden is another refreshing and uplifting fragrance by the brand. I would best describe it as White Tea’s more vibrant, louder younger sister.
Green tea stands out to me and is one of my favorites because of its cool herbal notes of green tea and mint. I recommend this for daytime activities, especially picnic outings and park activities.
