Untold

Since Fragrantica tends to be the perfect place to tell the story of your relationship with certain scents.. here goes! I was immediately struck by the commercial for Untold. I just loved that song (which strangely still pops into my head on occasion). I googled all over the place to figure out who or what it was (to no avail). At the time, I didn't care much about perfumes. I had a couple drug store staples and Bath & Body Works mists. I sung along with the song when it happened to come on TV, and otherwise forgot all about it. Well, one of those drug store favorites had been discontinued for some time, and the price on eBay is only getting higher and higher. I joined Fragrantica in hopes of finding a similar replacement. While browsing around, I remembered that commercial.. that song. Untold! I should see if it looks as magical as the commerical made it out to be. I first bought a mini. Initially, I could smell nothing but pears. I had never even tasted a pear before - but every time I wore Untold, my teeth would chatter and my mouth would water and I just wanted to bite something, haha! I ended up going to the grocery store to buy a pear, and ate one for the first time in my life. Now, I love pears! And, I also love Untold. I got ahold of a large bottle (for just $10 on eBay!), and quickly began to appreciate its other notes. While pear has the leading role here, the florals sure soften it up, the amber and musk provide warmth and creaminess, but my favorite part is that subtle spiciness! Ugh, just delightful, understated, delicious! It may not be as bold as most of my favorites tend to be, but man, it's a truly remarkable scent in an utterly gorgeous bottle!

I really like this. It is really comforting and pretty. Clean smelling without being "soapy" at all. Almost like a plate of freshly cut pears garnished with white flowers, a slice of bergamot and green leaves. It's very uplifting and comfortable to wear. Another upside is, it's very versatile. This scent could be worn in any season. It's not seasonal like so many of my other favorites. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous! Actually, it's truly one of the prettiest bottles I've ever seen! That was shocking to me coming from Elizabeth Arden since they have put out some of the ugliest bottles in history! They just really stepped up their game with the Untold line. I got my first bottle online but I bought a back up at TJ for like 10 bucks. I also saw some smaller bottles at Marshalls a few days ago for $7.99 I'm going to go back and buy those too I think! This stuff is THAT awesome. If they have the Untold Absolu, I'm going to pick that up too! I suspect this will end up being a spendy trip because truth be told, I'm buying ALL the Untold! lol I figure I will want back ups and this would also make a safe gift for friends and family so it's good to keep a few bottles around.

I came across this bottle without expecting much from the fragrance but I was pleasantly surprised at how comforting this is. Untold opens with a fresh juicy pear that is kicked into life with a soft pink pepper and cassis. The beginning ever so slightly reminds me of the freshness of Chance Eau Tendre or Jimmy Choo EDT. The bergamot is really fleeting and honestly the patchouli is barely there. Then this fruity floral of warm jasmine and gardenia transforms into a nice amber with depth. It is not something ground breaking or special, but it is very cozy! I can imagine myself curled up on the sofa in a warm sweater with a cup of milk gazing out on a rainy day. It reminds me to be grateful for what I have and evokes gentle and tender memories. It certainly is great for light everyday casual use in colder seasons. Moderate then to soft silage lasting about 3-4 hours. I do like it but I wouldn't consider buying it as I think there are a lot of similar scents that I already have that satiate my needs. I would happily receive this as a gift and use it, but wouldn't go out in my way of obtaining it unless it is cheap.

I remember when this first came out I smelled it in the magazine. At some point wanted to go to the store and try it out. Then I found that in Hawaii where I live, department stores do not carry Elizabeth Arden. Wha??? Common, Elizabeth Arden, what is up with this?? You can order EA products at Macy's online but not in store. Ugh. But I digress. At the time I remember it being floral oriental with perhaps fruit notes. Fast forward to couple of weeks ago where my local TJ Maxx got bottles and bottles of Untold-Untold Absolu, Eau Legere and regular Untold. I chose Absolu and thought it was nice. Little unusual-it was rather heady floral oriental, sweet and warm. I was not in love but in deep like. Since I seen regular Untold for bargain price of 7.99, I decided to give it a go. Well, the only difference between this and Absolu is that fruit notes are more evident and its a bit stronger. Otherwise, same exact thing. I was surprised to see gardenia note which I can usually identify but here, I couldn't. I do wish it was more prominent. Overall, nice scent

Edit: This is BEAUTIFUL. It has a divine yet gentle presence. I really love its opening. Personally (on my skin), it opened with a forceful spiced (pepper) hot pear/fruit and floral aroma which I take to be the pear (obviously) and bergamot (as well as the cassis and jasmine). It was odd at first and then turned to a luxurious sweet floral musky base. Pleasant and wearable. Lasting power is very good and sillage great. Lots of compliments when wearing this sweetheart. It smells very womanly! expensive and comforting like wearing a new camel coat on the streets of Manhattan...or beauty counter shopping in the warm South with my best friend. Very attractive and creamy, and VERY Elizabeth Arden. A more creamy peppery version of 5th Avenue. Also reminded me of Tresor in some ways but it lasted much longer on my skin. Worthy of any perfume collection and those gwp always keep me coming back ;-) This would be a very lovely wedding day fragrance. The delightfully sweet musk drydown is delicious and perfect for a bride.

Untold is one of the few fragrances I can buy from a store that is within driving distance. I tested it a few times, really liked it, finally caved and bought it. Untold is just one of those perfumes that can be worn pretty much any time, anywhere. It isn’t challenging but it also isn’t some vacuous, cheap smelling drivel. It is sweet and slightly fruity but not overly so. The pear is not dominate on my skin. On my skin, this is dries down to a very subtle, slightly sweet, creamy floral. Some negatives - longevity is lacking, maybe two hours, tops. But it can be found inexpensively on the internet, so top offs aren’t an issue. Also, I am one of the ones that smell the cedar, and nothing but cedar, in the top notes. The cedar scent is discernible for maybe 5 minutes, gradually receding. Just something to be aware of. Verdict - definitely a strong like for the scent. I don’t know at this point if I want a larger bottle than the 1 oz I have but, even with longevity lacking, I really like the way this smells.

It has been no surprise that I adore fruity florals, but this one seriously took me by surprise.... I randomly spritzed this on and left the store only to wonder what incredible scent was on my wrist.... I finally determined that it was this, Untonld... It opens slightly fruity, but no way near "in your face" fruity... It is a light, sophisticated fruit but quickly develops a gorgeous depth that makes one want to keep sniffing.... I think it may be the latent notes of cassis, pink pepper and patchouli that catch my attention, but nonetheless, this has quickly moved up on my list of most used..... Longevity... about 3 hours, but I am now very comfortable about re-spritzing.....

I never thought to try an Elizabeth Arden fragrance until I received a sample of this and found it very wearable. It smells very beautiful and sophisticated, soft fruits and gentle florals on a musky amber base blend together beautifully to create a lovely fragrance with excellent lasting power and reasonable silage. This isn't a stand out fragrance in my collection but overall it's impressive, a definite crowd pleaser, and I think of it as something to wear to family gatherings or meeting the parents of a new boyfriend for the first time. Classy, feminine and beautiful.

I have a few perfumes with a pink pepper note but this is the only one where I spray and I think, wow ... pink pepper! As the other notes emerge, it's slightly sweet from the fruit and a bit musky. I'm not a fan of gardenia but I do like the florals in this one. The amber, spiced with pink pepper, gives it a warmness and sensuality. This starts as a rather heavy scent but lightens with time. I would say in general it's a strong and confident scent. It works great for winter. It's amazing, I love it.

Absolutely beautiful fragrance, as always from Elizabeth Arden, super quality, for a super low price. It's a delicious, addictive gem, that deserves more loving. It opens with a super bright, fruity note, then comes the creamy gardenia note. It's subtle, and yet it lasts, and is definitely noticeable. The bottle is so nice, has a nice weight and a quality feel. Superior to a multitude of higher priced fragrances, don't be put off by the low price, quality fragrance.

I have tried various brands of perfumes. But Elizabeth Untold is still my favorite. And the only one that I have finished the whole bottle. It is light and fresh yet still got some feminine scent to it. A very balanced scent to my nose. Since I am not fond of the overtly sweet and floral feminine fragrances yet the more neutral fresh fragrances I tested were a bit light or with too much lemons in them. I have found my signature ❤

I smelt it on a Ribbon today... What a pleasant kiss to the nose... Frozen pears and apples, sweet and juicy. But this is not a girl. This is a woman's scent. This is not fruity, this is sophisticated fruitiness. I saw that most detected an amberness to it, and my nose almost missed it. Taking a whiff again, there is a slight warm fuzzy smell. A modern mother's scent that will not offend anyone. Safe and loveable. I want this!

Gorgeous scent, I'm surprised it's not more popular. I really love the pear scent which is sweet but not overly sweet. I'm not a big fan of patchouli but I only smell a sharpness on occasion. It's a very well blended, creamy, elegant fragrance. The longevity is great; 2 sprays will last the whole day on me. I also own Untold Absolu which is sweeter with vanilla. Gorgeous scent as well with great longevity.

Rainy season has come to Bogor, Indonesia. The weather's getting cooler since the cloud and lots of raining. It's the perfect time for me to take my Untold back to the first row of fragrance that I have to wear everyday. It wraps me with the sweet/fresh pear blend with the classic elegant white floral. Perfect for this weather, perfect for me. Longevity is about 7 hours. Love this fragrance so much!

I am i LOVE with Untold. Its warm, creamy, cozy and inviting. This could never be offensive and I think would make someone near to you feel at ease. I feel instantly calm when wearing it and keep smelling my wrist throughout the day.I don't know about notes in perfume yet but I can sense the pear. The longevity and silage are excellent. It just makes you want to get under the covers and snuggle.

I am testing this today and am liking it much more than I thought I would. The predominant note to my nose is pear with a sweet warm amber base, I do see a little similarity to Hilary Duff with Love but this is sweeter and lighter. It is very pretty, light and feminine and so easy to wear. I would consider buying a FB of this if I see it at a great price, the body lotion is also an added bonus.

I recall when my first child was born. What is the scent of a baby? To me a newborn scent was that of freshly cut green bosc pears and white flowers. Fresh, soft and comforting. This sparkling jewel of a bottle captures the liquid essence of sweet innocence. Untold is fresh pears, white florals with amber undertones. I will be forever in love with Untold.

This stuff is awesome!!! I always get won over with a perfume with regards to longevity. This stuff lasts and lasts! The lasting slightly woody dry down is the best part. That's the bit that is reminiscent of the gucci family. I haven't smelt gucci guilty but there are slight similarities with gucci bamboo. EA doesn't fail in good value for money.

just changed from LIKE to LOVE!!!AFTER THE FIRST WEARING BEFORE TWO DAYS,TODAY MY T-SHIRT STILL SMELL GREAT!!!YES A LITTLE BIT SOFT BUT...I'M VERY NICE SURPRISED...IT WAS BIG PLEASURE FOR ME TO SPRAY A LOT OF TIMES.JUST WANTED ALL THE WORLD TO FEEL THIS HAPPINESS.THIS SMELL MAKE HAPPY ALL DAY WHEN I SNIFF MYSELF...OH LALALALALALA

This perfume is unbelievable. Amazing I say. It makes me feel pretty, classy and sophisticated. You need to see the commercial for this, it's says it all. It smells very expensive . I can smell the fruit notes. It's like a sweet fruity scent for a woman over 25. Although any age can wear this. very classy fragrance
