this on me is creamy & light, i get no flowers or peach though. that being said it is a lovely fragrance, its light but noticeable & as i said on me it feels creamy. i like it, doesn't stay too long on me but while its there its pleasant

What a nice bottle ! (NYC) word is catching the eyes here :)

I mix the classic 5th Avenue with The 5th Avenue NYC as my signature scent.Those two and my body chemistry mix so well;I’m left with a musky peach and apple combination coated in vanilla.This gives me cozy autumn vibes and I can’t count how many compliments I’ve gotten when wearing these two together or the times when I was asked what perfume I was wearing.

Opportunistic blind buy (it was on the shelf and well-priced). Not what I expected, generally for the better. It's still not my style (vanilla-prominent, creamy and/or "golden" almost never is). But it's not nearly as sweet or as warm as the (scary to me) accords at the top of the page predicted. Nor as obviously fruity. And another scary note, the Sandalwood, while discernible, is not suffocating. The most enjoyable part for me is the opening, with its faint Citrus peel sort of sparkle. Sadly for me, the experience only gets goldener and creamier from that point. Opening freshness aside, the overall impression this gives is of a champagne-colored, lightly whipped Vanilla cream with a very restrained, refined trace of Peach. It's not too sweet and it's quite airy; this won't scare off gourmand-phobes with a terror of dense vanilla. That said...where exactly are the florals alleged to constitute the heart/middle?? There's a little bit of Jasmine (I guess) but it's pretty much totally folded into the whipped cream without fanfare. I long for the Peony to come forward to freshen and cleanse me. I feel this follows the general structure of Escada Magnetism with fresher citrus and fruit making a quick appearance up front but drying down almost completely to vanilla /Tonka and wood. There's a major difference, of course. If Magnetism is an oil painting rendered in very bold colors (magenta and orange of the box perhaps) and heavy strokes, Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue NYC is pale creamy pastel neutrals gently buffed with a fluffy brush. It's a champagne shimmer. By the way, this wears close to my skin. I'm undecided whether I should try to make this work in my wardrobe. After a few minutes, my nose cries out for something truly fresh, or at the least, juicy. I get thirsty and want to drink something crisp or sour. The fragrance really isn't overly sweet or dessert-like; this is just my olfactory lot in life. I imagine that people who profess to hate perfume would not object to getting up close and personal with you when you're wearing this. I think they might enjoy basking in your soft, cuddly pale gold halo. While it may not be for me, this is a respectable showing from the house of Elizabeth Arden. Well-blended, restrained and, possibly, likeable by the lucky few who are physically close enough to you to smell it.

All of Elizabeth Arden are fantastic..The original 5th Avenue is adored by me and entire family. I gifted this to many people and everyone loved it. This one is no exception and I treasure it. The fact that you can find these hidden gems in the discount stores for less is also a gift in the U.S. which I so appreciate.
