So I was
going to post another skin care blog but I am soooooo in love with this new
fragrance I could not wait to tell everyone about it.
I was
recently given this fragrance as a gift and although I had read lots of good
reviews I was still slightly dubious as I mainly associate Elizabeth Arden
fragrances with the more mature lady. But I was so thrilled with it; any pre-perceived
ideas of Elizabeth Arden have flown right out the window with this one.
Well let’s
get started this is what Elizabeth Arden says about Untold.......
“A luxurious and modern floral composition, UNTOLD celebrates the
sophistication and intrigue of the multi-faceted modern woman. From her vibrant
optimism and refined femininity to her mysterious aura and magnetic sensuality,
UNTOLD takes you on a journey through the many facets that together, make her
genuinely beautiful. With its sparkling and fruity introduction, radiant floral
heart and mysterious addictive warmth, UNTOLD “
The basic
idea of the fragrance is that the modern day women has to be everything all at
once. Elizabeth Arden has portrayed that in Untold by the mix of ingredients
that it uses, and they are.....
Top Notes: Pink pepper, Bergamot, Pear and Cassis
Middle Notes: Egyptian Jasmine LMR* and Gardenia
Base Notes: Patchouli LMR*, Amber and Musk
When I
first read the ingredients I wasn’t too sure how the fresh, sweet top notes
would blend with the white floral middle notes but they have done, beautifully.
Initially there is a burst of freshness mainly coming from the pink pepper
which feels young and fresh. It almost makes your mouth water. Then it fades
into a beautiful sophisticated white floral of jasmine and gardenia which makes
me feel so elegant and lady like. The base notes then come in with patchouli,
amber and musk giving a much deeper, sexy scent with a slight sweetness coming
back. I will wear this fragrance for daytime and evening; it will be lovely for
winter due to the warm scent that it settles into. Once settled Untold reminded
me a little of Dolce and Gabbanna The One in that there is a hint of sweetness
but it is a little heady which makes it grown up and sexy.
Untold
fits its concept in every way. The bottle is beautiful with the glass facets
which draws reference from the fragrance brief. The way the ingredient blend
does this as well, beautifully. It highlights every facet of what the modern
day woman is; young, playful and exuberant to elegant and sophisticated to
mysterious and sexy. This perfume is truly stunning and is my absolute new
favourite.
One last
note I love the quote from Elizabeth Arden on the inside of the box it makes me
feel beautiful everytime I open it....
“To be beautiful is the birthright of every woman”
