5th Avenue Nights

It's been almost a year since I ordered a 125mil bottle of 5th avenue night with a lot of hope.I LOVE white chocolate as a perfume note.even the amount of white chocolate in fantasy isn't enough for me.I was hoping for a lot of buttery,yummy milky white chocolate in 5th avenue night and the idea of mixing it with vanilla,musk and all those lovely flowers looked like a dream for me.I was thinking of a Iris ganache with it's iris being replaced by lily,heliotrope and other flowers present in 5th avenue night's pyramid.but well,it was a HUGE dissapointment White chocolate is there but it's buried beneath tones of cheap white musk,non-sweet powdery vanilla,a non-descript blah,soapy floral accord and a touch of creamy but soulless woody notes. It opens with a lot of alcohol and chemical white musk,develops to a bland soapy-powdery floral-vanilla-musk and finally dries down to a pleasant but still too simple and too soft creamy clean scent. I like it's drydown as it has a touch of warmth and sweetness.it smells nice,easy to wear and clean and I can't say it's bad considering it's price but it's a soft skinscent in this stage and each time I wear it I feel so sad thinking of how amazing it could be if they amped up white chocolate and sweetness,if florals were better pronounced and if there was less of this cold chemical white musk. If you're looking for a gourmand or a real night perfume here it will disappoint you,but if you're looking for a soft and safe feminine perfume,something clean and smooth with tamed sweetness it can please you.it's wearable year round,is OK as a daily pick me up,something to wear around home,even for work I couldn't write a review for it as I was hoping that someday it might grow on me but now I'm giving up.I like it's drydown but I don't think I can use 125mil of it while a lot of more intresting perfumes are waiting for me For a creamy,yummy white chocolate,vanilla I'd rather go for Britney Spears fantasy Nice remix and for white chocolate-powder-musk combo I prefer Britney Spears fantasy naughty remix.for a right out of shower,skin being washed with a creamy floral liquid soap I prefer Aubade anecdote By the way it has nothing to do with Guess marciano IMHO.on me they're exact opposite.Guess M is a sugary,spicy,citrus bomb,this is a soft,white cloud of cleanness نذارید شکلات سفید و وانیل شما رو ب اشتباه بندازه. فیفث اونیو نایت نه عطر شب هست و نه یه عطر شیرین و خوراکی طور و نه رایحه زیادی سن پایین و بچگونه ای داره رایحه بسیار ملایم و لطیف و تمیزی داره شبیه به وقتی که تازه از حموم دراومدین و پوستتون رو با شامپو بدن کرمی با رایحه ملایم گلی شستین.برای استفاده چهارفصل بعنوان عطر دم دستی و روزانه و محل کار مناسبه

I don't specially like this perfume, i find it pleasant, but most of the time i wear it only at home. It is a warm and cosy scent, i like to wear it when i'm home in the warm room while outside it is chilly or snowy. During the winter i also like to wear it when i go to sleep, with its chocolate odour it smooths my nerves. It very rarely happens that i wear it outside, only when the weather becomes suddenly cold, in a cold, wet day during the summer for example. And to my great surprise whenever i wear it outside my apartment, this is the very perfume that gets the more compliment! People come to me and ask me what i wear and where they could buy it. It is really strange as i have a lot of perfumes and most of them i find better than this one, still, it is the greatest success. It is true that it is a very pleasant, sophistacated gourmand scent, not offensive, not boring, and it really lasts long on my skin. I like to have it and i will repurchase it when i run out of this bottle, as i like to wear it when i feel cold and it need some warm feeling- but this is definitely not my favourite. Actually i think the original 5th Avenue is more a jolly joker, my only prefume that can be worn in any occasion, it will be good for a theatre or for a conference, for sports or for shopping, for summer or winter, whenever i can't decide what to wear, 5th Avenue is always a good desicion- while 5th Avenue night is not good when the weather is hot or when i want something really elegant. Anyway, for its price its a great perfume.

On me it's mostly white chocolate. Kind of like cheesecake as someone else has mentioned. Florals are noticeable and beautiful. I am a floral lover so i do not find this too floral for me though others complain of this being too floral. I am not a huge gourmand fragrance fan but consider this to be one of my favorite gourmand perfumes in my collection right now. White chocolatey cheesecake with fresh florals is a hit in my book. It's very much comfort territory for me. The florals just make it so beautiful but compared to many florals i own it is not very floral. I get moderate projection with 5 noticable hours before it fades to a skin scent. I picked up a jacket i wore this with a week ago to put on and noticed this beautiful scent was still lingering on it. I felt compelled to spray more 5th Avenue Nights on for the evening. Divine.

This was an excellent blind buy. After reading the reviews here (thank you fragrantica nation;) I just had to get one. I'm in love! I've been wearing it since I got it. When I first sprayed it I thought hmmm I've smelled this before ... and then I remembered my sisters best friend was using Gucci Premiere. So I had to check and compare notes, found lots of similarities. I am not saying it's exactly the same, just reminds me of a more expensive one. But I have to say that to me 5th Avenue Nights is a lot deeper and complex - because of the numerous notes, and also it really does work well with coconut lotion on ;) I love it when I get an expensive smelling perfume for such a good price, makes my day. And everyone loves this on me. Great job Marypierre Julien!

The fragrance opens with delicate florals, which sets this flanker apart from others that often begin with fruity notes. Here, within the floral bouquet, a sweet mandarin is present, only subtly marking its presence. As it develops, the scent becomes a more creamy gourmand, featuring smooth white chocolate. It is a gentle composition that does not evoke nightlife, but rather a cozy, peacefully spent evening. Enveloping, comforting, and tender. The beautiful shimmering edition of the bottle brings as much joy as wearing the fragrance itself.

i agree with maraika. it is a sharp scent, but only at the beginning. later on it becomes very soft and sweet. but definitely not too sweet. its a very yummy chocolate fragrance. i think the combination of white chocolate, vanilla rtc. reminds on coconut scents but its definitely not overwhelming. i love this scent and on my skin it lasts all day long. thank good i have a 125ml bottle as i love to use this yummy frag. it makes me feel comfortable without smeelling like an escapee of a candy shop.

I got the store`s last bottle of this when I was on a holiday. And I`m so glad I just went for it. I read somewhere that this one is similar with another Arden fragrance, Provocative Interlude, which I love. And they are similar, but not the same. PI is very gourmand with berries and white chocolate, and very sweet. Nights is more about flowers mixed with chocolate. This one is softer and creamier and not as sweet. Love it!

Gosh nyoka, you really got the vibe of this 'fume!' Teasingly playful and sexy. The flowers in this are clean and bold with bergamot and mandarine giving them a warm invitation. Freesia, heliotrope and lily are fantastic in this and flirt constantly with the creamy white chocolate-vanilla love potion. If you want to feel deliciously sexy without being too serious, 5th Avenue Nights should definitely be on the menu!

I love the warm, sweet creaminess of this fragrance. The drydown keeps me coming back to it - subtle and warm vanila dessert. I feel edible when I wear this. Its gourmand notes make this my comfort food fragrance - after a long day to shower and slip into something soft and envelope myself in this scent and to drift off to sleep on a cloud of musk and vanilla and chocolate - delicious.

Well Zvoncica, I was talking to my friend Mad-Lainey and the thing is, we tend to love the extremely expensive perfumes and the 'low end' we do not think too much of. BUT: fact is that some houses considered 'low end' just have GORGEOUS fragrances. Arden has some of those as well!!! And this surely fits the bill!!! :-)

I love this sweet delicate wafty cake scent that lingers all around and when my body heat warms it up its divine! Mmmmm its soft, sweet, fluffy, light, delicate... I love this❤ the halls of heaven So sweet but not too gourmand at all. This is delightful and not childish. Its breezy and clean sweetness.

EA perfumes are always good bargains in germany and i'm sooo glad i bought this perfume.EA 5th avenue nights opens with soft flowers and nicely blooms before settling to warm vanilla and chocolates.for me it is so balanced - flowery, sweet n warm.love it!

This smelled like the original 5th avenue with heaps of coconut. That aside, I wondered if anyone can tell me if this is a limited edition or just difficult to find? I do like it but only 1 place I know of hear in Melbourne, Australia sells it.

Este perfume es uno de mis favoritos, una joya!! dulce e inesperado, no se parece para nada a su hermano 5th Av. Tiene como un olor a coco y vainilla.. mhhhhh no puede faltar en mi coleccion

This one is very easy to love. I would not rate it as a masterpiece, but very easy to love..

I expected a gourmand dark dessert. What I get instead is a floral bouquet, lemon tea and loads of white musk ! This doesn't mean I don't like it, to the contrary, it's just very different from what the notes suggested. :) When first sprayed, you get a blast of flowers, all mixed together it's kinda hard to differentiate them but I would say the freesia, the calla and the cyclamen are the strongest at first. The scent of calla flower, to me, is the smell of pollen you get when you touch the inside of a flower. It's a yellowish smell, kind of intrusive and a bit sour. Cyclamen to me is a fantasy note, it just represents a green essence and the beauty of this flower (on a side note, my cyclamens keep dying it's annoying ahah). As the scent develops, I get a very strong lemon note and a very acidic bergamot. The lemon felling is like drinking boiled water with a big slice of lemon in it. The bergamot only adds to the freshness and the greenness previously felt thanks to the cyclamen and freesia note. We are now at the 2 hours mark and the lily-of-the-valley (that I looove) shyly pops up with the jasmine. Unfortunately heliotrope is non-existent to me (its almond-facet would have been much appreciated) and the peony is very faint, just as the rose that remained surprisingly discreet since the beginning... After the 3 hours mark, the scent dries down to a very generic white musk that is so common. Hopefully, the vanilla kicks in layered on soft blond woods that fixes the base. I don't really understand why white chocolate is the most voted note because it's not huge on me, I couldn't tell it's white chocolate if it was not listed. I would have guessed creamy milk with a tiny touch of coconut. The scent remains noticeable for 5 hours and it is very enveloping for floral lovers like me. The base notes make the scent a bit warmer but I don't get the name "Nights"... To me, this is not related to nights out or anything like that. I would never chose this one for an evening out or as a night scent. It's too floral, too green and soft for that. I like it very much however ! Great for a walk in spring, as a "pick-me-up", great for office, coffee-break in the city-centre, for a week-end in the countryside, etc. Very versatile indeed. I would like to see how it performs in cold weather, maybe the white chocolate will be more noticeable. All in all, a nice fragrance and my first one from the house of Elizabeth Arden. Britney Spears fragrances brought me here (Elizabeth Arden manufactures them) and as they are cheap and good quality, it raised my interest in the main brand. This convinces me to explore more of EA fragrances, especially since I see they have lots of florals. :) Give it a try if you can ! Colour: GREY and LIGHT YELLOW

This is the one bottle in my swap pile that has turned out to be absolutely unswappable. It's been on my regularly posted swap lists for close to a year - no other fragrance has managed that, the perfume that has been on there the second longest has only been so for like half a year. Why? WHY?! I mean, sure, it ended up in the swap pile in the first place so this obviously means I am not keen on keeping it around myself, but I really try to keep my collection as small as possible and that's the only reason why this one isn't staying. I took it out just now to give it a spray, it's quite lovely - a little flowery, slightly powdery, musky, clear water splashy, coconutty (I guess that's the white chocolate, it sort of reads creamy rather than sweet). So why isn't this fragrance enticing to swappers? Is it that the people that would go for 5th Avenue shy away from anything gourmand? Is it because the gourmand lovers stay away from classic florals like 5th Avenue? I wouldn't even call this gourmand, it's more of a musky powdery floral with a dash of something sweetly creamy. Seriously, if I can't find anyone that would swap for this within Europe - it's a cheapie and also a partial bottle in my case, so there really wouldn't need to be much in return - I'll just do a giveaway and hope that it will finally get shown some love!

There was no doubt I'd like this, so I bought it blind. It's a good scent, that's for sure! I'm really liking it. I agree with comparisons of Provocative Interlude (only the white chocolate note for me) and Love's Baby Soft. I can plainly smell both, not for long, and not terribly strong, but they ARE there. I don't find this scent to be powerful OR really long lasting like some have mentioned. I don't doubt that it is long lasting for those who say it is. But for me, sadly, it isn't. This scent is very nostalgic for me. I don't think it's because of the Love's Baby Soft. But there is a strong association to that time frame. Maybe it IS? I would recommend this to anyone that thinks they might like it. Pretty sure you will! I'm so glad to have this one. I hope with time, it might just become stronger? Then again....I'm a bit heavy handed anyway, so it might be best as it is. This scent doesn't really seem to be a night time scent. This is a lovely clean little lady, YOUNG lady. This is not "mature", nor is it TOO young. This would have been a love for me if I didn't own Provocative Interlude. Even at that, this is worth owning! I hope all who purchase this enjoy it as much as I am! Way to go Elizabeth Arden...again!

There are some desserts that look gorgeous, sophisticated and expensive, but they actually are quite simple to prepare. This scent reminds me white chocolate lace covered fresh fruits with some mild flower petals for decoration -simple, easy, but so delicious and beautiful. And at the table there's a lady wearing expensive, long, new leather gloves. I had quite low expectations, but when I received this, I was surprised in a very good way. It has very little to do with the regular 5th avenue. The opening is sweet, fresh and flowery (I get a beautiful bunch of lilac, peony and a bit of mild jasmine). Then it turns creamy and delicious, settles down, lies on my skin like a fresh made white chocolate cream with some real vanilla added. I actually dislike the white chocolate as a food, but here it's beautifully blended with other notes. And the last wonder- the dry down is not only about vanilla and white chocolate, there's a beautiful, reserved calm , but noticeable leather note added. A mild, charming, sophisticated leather note mixed with that gourmand sweetness! Just beautiful!

Oh what a beauty ! 5th Ave Nights is fresh and floral like 5th Ave, but Nights is more lush, a little darker, with the added touch of soft wood. Bergamot and sweet mandarin keep this fragrance continuously freshened, while a hefty amount of white chocolate consistently gives 5th Ave Nights a lush, deep creamy richness. The beautiful soft florals bloom throughout wearing. Heliotrope contributes to a slightly powdery or soapy nuance, but there is much more creaminess than soapiness. The soft wood adds an interesting depth, and keeps everything from being too sweet. Is this a night time perfume ? Yes, for dry, hot summer nights, when you want your skin to still feel fresh, yet smooth, silky, expensively rich and creamy. Not heavy at all, expertly blended and balanced, 5th Ave Nights is perfect for daytime, too, any time of the year. Silage is moderate, longevity is more than 10 hours on my skin. For me, 5th Ave Nights is definitely a keeper!
