True Love Perfume

Elizabeth Arden builds an unusually large core stage into True Love, six separate floral and powdery materials working together at once. Apricot, peach, freesia and green notes open with a soft, fruity freshness that eases gently into the florals ahead. Iris, rose, orris root, heliotrope, lily of the valley and jasmine build an enormous powdery floral core, rich and classic, the kind of density rarely attempted in fragrances released today. Sandalwood, vanilla, amber and cedar close things out warm and smooth, giving True Love Eau de Toilette a comforting, romantic conclusion. Floral is the fitting classification on its own, polished enough for daytime wear yet substantial enough to carry into evening. It suits dates, dinners and celebrations about equally well. Fall and winter favor the amber and sandalwood close most, though the fruity top keeps it wearable into spring. Few fragrances at this price attempt a core stage this classically full.
