Elizabeth Arden: Splendour, Eau de Parfum

On yet another shopping trip I couldn't find anything to buy. You know one of them days when everything you try on is wrong and anything you see is over priced or something! So I thought I know what I'll get, I'll get me a bottle of perfume! (Like I need more!) I was in Asda following an argument with the boyfriend and couldn't be bothered to look round the store so I picked this up as it was on offer for £4.99 for a 30ml bottle without even smelling it, paid and left the store. I thought well if I don't like it I'll give it to my mum . I was dubious I wouldn't like it as it's a fragrance that was launched in 1998 and therefore to me probably a little old ...  Read the complete review

Elizabeth Arden: Splendour, Eau de Parfum I have never really bought any make up, skin care or perfume products from Elizabeth Arden before but do recall having a bottle of sunflower when I was a teenager as it was quite cheap on teenager's pocket money and sweet enough for daywear!

Surely a decent perfume couldn?t be that cheap? I looked away, looked back, looked at the label again and sure enough, it was still showing the same price on a sign you couldn?t fail to notice. Now ...  Read the complete review

To be honest, I cannot make my mind up about this fragrance. I had a little sampler in a gift set recently, but I really don't know whether to get a full-sized bottle. I mean, it's pleasant enough and smells really fresh but, I really do not think it is the same quality as some of the other EA fragrances, like Red Door. To start with, the packaging and bottle are nothing special. The fragrance itself, is very classically floral. there's a sweetness hidden under a sharp topcoat. I cannot quite make out what the floral notes are. Don't get me wrong, this fragrance is okay, but it does not shout out "you have got to buy ...  Read the complete review
