My Fifth Avenue

The first thought that popped into my head at first sniff was "Oh wow! I really like this!" Straight from the get go, you get a burst of freshness with the watery florals, citrus, and white florals. It immediately reminded me of Boucheron Quatre, one of my favourite perfumes. It's not a dupe, but it's very similar in the burst of fresh florals and citrus that evoke sunshine, happiness and effervescence. In fact I sprayed Quatre on my other wrist and while Quatre is just a titch more green there is a remarkable similarity. This is the type of fragrance that would wake me up and help put a bounce in my step on the way to work. Some may call it boring and generic, but I think the bright peppiness sets this apart from other florals that tend to dry down sans citrus and airiness. This stays light and refreshing throughout. OG 5th Ave was my signature scent for years in the 90's, and I sprayed some on as I test drove this flanker. While both are florally, I find that My 5th Ave doesn't share much of the DNA with the new bottle I have. It may be closer to the OG 5th Ave of yore but I suspect reformulations of 5th Ave has distanced itself from its own flankers. Sad.

✨️My Fifth Avenue✨️ is fresh, clean, classy, and long-lasting... it's like a burst of sunshine in a bottle! ☀️ The first thing that hits you is this bright, citrusy blast of juicy lemons and mandarins. 🍋🍊 Then, it mellows out into this soft, floral heart with a hint of jasmine and lotus. 🌸 It's a great value (I got mine at $22 for a 3.3!), and the best part is it lasts ✨️forever✨️. Seriously, I can spray it on in the morning and still catch whiffs of it that night. ☀️ Perfect for a casual day out in the spring or summer... heading to work, brunch with friends, a cute date, it's sure to turn heads and even get you a compliment or two! 😉 I wouldn't say it's a dupe for anything, but it's got a classic vibe, a timeless elegance, like J'adore, Ralph Lauren Woman, and Boucheron Quatre. They all share that same kind of clean, sophisticated feel. They're not overly trendy or flashy, but they're definitely memorable and luxurious! 🥰🥰🥰

My 5th Avenue is a lovely fresh aquatic fruity floral, just on *this* side of perfumey as opposed to shampooey, which, to me, is a good thing, as it seems a touch more elevated or elegant. There's watery lotus and a lot of sweet pear, some "ozonic" notes, sweet jasmine, and some cool green notes from the violet leaves. I spritzed some on last night, after my shower, and could still smell it this morning, 7 hours later, so that's some good longevity! I'm a big fan of aquatic florals (J'Adore, 5th Avenue, Champs Elysees, L'Eau d'Issey Absolue, etc.) and My 5th Avenue fits right in there, though it doesn't smell the same as any of them (it's more like a dupe of Ralph Lauren Woman, for sure). It's a very easy wear, a "dumb reach" perfume for me, that I wear all year round because it is just so fresh, clean, and pretty. Love it! :)

I'm conflicted about this. It's totally my type of scent and I do like it. But - there's something really aggressive, even harsh, about it. I don't think I can get past that so I won't be purchasing. ETA- after sampling this several more times, it has grown on me and I am going to order it. It's an altogether pleasant scent that is affordable and also office-safe. Bottom line is that I just really enjoy smelling it on myself. Edit # 2 - Jan 2023 - so this eventually became a real favorite of mine and I put a very big dent in my 100 ml. bottle. Unfortunately however, I've noticed over the past few months that the scent is deteriorating. Not exactly turning, rather breaking down,losing some notes and complexity and becoming harsher and more astringent. I'm really sad about this because I really like this scent very much.

I cringed so hard at the people that voted and said that this fragrance smells like J’adore. Like no honey. I own EVERY available version of J’adore (everything counting the body oil and everything else in between that and the Extrait De Parfum), and My Fifth Avenue smells NOTHING like any one of them. MFA is a nice fragrance. It is definitely very strong for the price, as I will definitely get a headache if I overspray. I doubt I would repurchase this anytime soon, because I only get spring and summer vibes from this one (meaning it might take me a couple more years to go through my bottle) I honestly will be surprised if it isn’t discontinued by then. There’s nothing spectacular or remarkable about this perfume. It’s just a nice fragrance from EA

I find this to be easy to wear and it makes me happy. It's slightly ozonic in the opening and fresh, then I get a very nice sweetness that might be the pear, and then this soft powder, probably from the rose and musk. I just love it, I get a whiff here and there when I move my hair and it's one I really wear for me. I know I smell good and clean when I wear this, and it has the effect of making me smile. I think it could work anytime of day or season.

A delicate, feminine opening blends sweet floral notes with fresh citrus—free of any sharp acidity—and airy aldehydes. As it develops, everything merges seamlessly into a composition that is at once feminine, fresh, and softly sweet. These perfumes embody a beautiful spring day in the life of an elegant woman, living a luxurious, carefree life on 5th Avenue. Joyful, light, and effortlessly pleasant. Simply lovely.

Siento que este perfume es muy parecido al essencial de Natura cuando recién lo aplicas. Tiene notas parecidas pero este seca más elegante y maduro. Yo lo tengo para ocaciones especiales y creo que es más para la tarde o noche, como para salidas especiales con amigas o familia. No lo usaría para una cita porque transmite mucha seriedad y pose. Me encanta para el trabajo también.

My fifth avenue smells identical to 5th avenue. I used to have both of them and I absolutely loved them both. Sadly I traded my fifth avenue to a family member for a different scent because I didn’t wanted to end up with similar scents and I ended up regretting it. Both the scents are sophisticated and you can get away with wearing it every day no matter the season.

LOVE the original 5th Avenue. My grandma wore it (and even though it reads mature, it's not a 'grandma' sent) and she got me into it. So I started looking into the others in the line and this one is my favorite. I actually prefer this over the original but I do love and own both. It's warm, cozy and sophisticated smelling. One of my all time favorite perfumes.

This perfume is seriously underrated. It’s like a modern take on classics like Dior’s J’adore or Chanel’s Gabrielle Essence. The opening is a bit sharp and citrusy, but the dry down is where it really comes to life. It checks all my boxes its fresh, feminine, warm and just really pretty. Very versatile and inoffensive.

I love this. I am not very fond of many of the 5th Avenue flankers, but really admire this one. The strongest note to me, apart from lemon an orange, is pink pepper, which is not listed above. it smells really sophisticated. And staying power is amazing. I am going to buy it when I see it online.

This smells very elegant to me. I think it's the pear that's really grabbing me. I usually don't care much for rose, but it's pretty light here. I'm not sure the search for my ideal perfume ends here, but I think this gets me a lot closer!

I just discovered this in a hidden corner of my local Dillard's and I LOVE it!!! It's fresh and perfectly balanced between fruity and floral.

I love this this is on my must buy list!! Longevity was really good also!

It`s really fresh and nice. I love it. It`s one of my favorites.

I get white flowers with a little bit of fruit and musk. This smells pleasant and I can see the comparisons to Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, but this does not even come close to Chanel. My Fifth Avenue is a little heavier, a little bit more of a "perfume"-y scent which actually might be a plus for some people. For me, it just is. Neither positive or negative. I think I used 5 or 6 sprays from my sample today and I might have gone just a little bit overboard. It seems like a bit much, even though it does smell good. Next time I sample this I will spray less. The more I sniff my wrists in order to write this review, the more I really like this. So I won't write it off completely as "pleasant but wouldn't buy". Maybe I would actually consider a bottle of this if I found it for a good deal. Time will tell!

perfumey fruit creamy slight bitter (good) edge a blurredness to it - not juicy crisp type of fruit a 5th avenueness in the undertones is it musky - not animalic, its not a celebtastic fruity --oh there it is - i catch the the aquatic ozonic notes on my jumper not my skin. not like the original theres a couple of other 5th ave flankers that are a bit useless on me - i cant recall which ones off the top of my head. this is better than the two that have poor longevity on me. dont care about the name - just the juice inside - the bottle is easy to handle and the sprayer is good. two sprays inner arm winter test. totally wearable, probably affordable E.A usually is, ill take this any day over juicy couture

There's something very nostalgic about this. I normally steer clear of white florals because I find so many of them headache-inducing. This one is actually quite lovely. It's fresh, clean, inoffensive. If it were any 'louder' about its white floraliness, it would be an absolute nope, but as is, a lovely friendly waft of quite elegant floral with a touch of warmth and sweetness from the amber base. Not necessary something I'd buy a full bottle of (got a sample in a monthly subscription box), but, I dunno, one for my clothes drawers to freshen up, or for a hair spritz after exercise or something. Really... pleasant... some may read that as 'boring'... it kinda is, and that's kinda what I like about it.

This is a great take on the classic Fifth avenue, they've managed to update it to make it feel new and relevant. I was so sad to see Untold discontinued, I don't think this is as good, but it's similar in some ways. A clean, fruity opening is followed by a definite mix of floral notes. The base is a floral musk, it's an ultra soothing fragrance, perfect for day wear. Once again the curse of branding. Poor Elizabeth Arden struggle to escape the old lady tag, I'd argue performance on all of their fragrances is better then many of the big name houses. I love this fragrance, and love everything about this house. Love it.
