My Fifth Avenue Elizabeth Arden 2018

You all surely know someone like this: Always friendly, polite, accommodating, punctual, well-dressed and groomed, with the best manners, intelligent, goal-oriented, and settled in life. In American English, there is the expression "polished."

That's exactly the kind of person I envision when I smell this fragrance.

MFA also does everything perfectly:

Cheerful, but not over the top
Citrusy, but not sour
Floral, but not stuffy
Green, but not bitter
Fresh, but not cold
Synthetic, but not piercing
Woody, but not dry
Present, but not intrusive
Elegant, but not aloof
Feminine, but not sultry

The fragrance is perfect in almost every way, but therefore also lacks edges and corners. It smells incredibly pleasant and creates a positive atmosphere. However, once it fades, you can't really remember it.

It would also pair well with a high-quality shampoo or a skin cream. Fragrances of this kind were quite common in the late 80s and early 90s. A very similar one was, for example, "Moments (Eau de Toilette) | Priscilla Presley."

I can easily imagine this fragrance for occasions, places, and professions where one wants to smell pleasant and well-groomed, but not annoy anyone. That's exactly how I will use it - the perfect "go-to."
