ABOUT UNTOLD
{Adapted from the Elizabeth Arden Press Release}

Your Story. Your Journey.
The Signature Fragrance of the Modern Woman

There is an untold story behind every modern woman who is thriving in her life’s journey. She owns every experience she’s had, every decision she’s made and is blossoming into a woman of many facets. Whether it’s dreams she has yet to share, secrets she has yet to reveal, or ambitions she has yet to declare, there are countless facets to every woman. While some of these facets are apparent on the surface, others remain hidden, only to be discovered over time.


The world never sees all of her, but can only steal a glimpse at a time. In those few fleeting moments you see her genuine smile, vibrant energy and effortless grace, but her story remains unrevealed… untold. Celebrating the sophistication and intrigue of the modern woman, Elizabeth Arden announces the launch of its new fragrance UNTOLD.

The Fragrance:

 Feminine. Sophisticated. Luxurious. Modern. Sensual.

Since 1922, Elizabeth Arden has been crafting fragrances as part of the brand’s holistic approach to beauty. Past classics like Red Door, 5th and now, with UNTOLD, the brand is introducing a luxurious and modern rendition of a sensual floral composition.

In developing UNTOLD, the perfumer masterfully brings together the highest quality ingredients to capture the different facets that, together, make the modern woman intriguing.

“I wanted UNTOLD to be a harmonious balance of the many facets of a woman, which, for me, is the source of genuine beauty,” says Clement Gavarry, IFF perfumer. “I imagined her sometimes adventurous, sometimes romantic, yet always equally confident,” he adds.

Each note in the fragrance was selected to evoke a characteristic of the UNTOLD woman:

Vibrant: Sparkling Pink Pepper fused with crisp Bergamot expose her vibrant optimism and joyful spirit.

Unpredictable: Playful, fruity accents of Pear and Blackcurrant Bud LMR* evoke her unpredictable ways.

Refined: Delicate Gardenia petals and intoxicating Egyptian Jasmine LMR* reveal her romantic and sophisticated femininity.

Mysterious: Nuances of Patchouli Heart LMR* and Sandalwood hint at her mysterious aura.

Sensual: Heated Ambers cascade over the caress of hypnotic Musk unveiling her magnetic sensuality. Lingering in the air is the unforgettable essence of her presence.


The Packaging:

The breathtakingly beautiful bottle of UNTOLD Elizabeth Arden is the embodiment of the multi-faceted, versatile nature of the modern woman. Just like the woman, the bottle is made up of many facets, which make it radiant and elegant. Due to its subtle curvature, the bottle takes on an appearance that is strikingly different at every angle, just as a woman delights those around her with a new side to her at each moment.

MY REVIEW

The generous folks over at Elizabeth Arden sent me a couple of the new UNTOLD products from the fragrance line to review.  I have been a long time Elizabeth Arden fan so my expectations were high and the thrill of my first impression did not disappoint!  Here are the details of what I experienced:

A luxurious and modern floral composition, UNTOLD celebrates the sophistication and intrigue of the multi-faceted modern woman. From her vibrant optimism and refined femininity to her mysterious aura and magnetic sensuality, UNTOLD takes you on a journey through the many facets that together, make her genuinely beautiful. With its sparkling and fruity introduction, radiant floral heart and mysterious addictive warmth, UNTOLD captures all that a woman is. 

Whether it's dreams she has yet to share, secrets she has yet to reveal, or ambitions she has yet to declare, UNTOLD was designed to embody the many different facets of the modern woman. While some of these facets are apparent on the surface, others remain hidden, only to be revealed or discovered over time. 

The UNTOLD fragrance journey opens with sparkling Pink Pepper fused with crisp Bergamot, exposing her vibrant optimism while playful fruity accents of Pear and Blackcurrant evoke her unpredictable ways. Her refined femininity is revealed as delicate Gardenia petals enwrap themselves with intoxicating Egyptian Jasmine. Her mysterious aura is sensed through whispers of Patchouli Heart and nuances of Sandalwood. Finally, her magnetic sensuality is unveiled as heated ambers cascade over the caress of hypnotic musk. Lingering in the air is the unforgettable essence of her presence.

MY THOUGHTS:

This is one of the most enchanting, exhilarating, magical new fragrances I have experienced in a long time!  It is ultra feminine, very sexy, but also clean and fresh and oh so alluring!  You can immediately catch the lingering notes that embody this fragrance and the intoxicating aroma will leave you wanting to experience more!

It is full of fruit and spice and everything nice!  It is soft yet exotic, sporty yet sensual, it embodies it all!  It is subtle enough that you can were it during the day, but layer it with the body cream and you can easily spice it up to wear for a romantic evening out (or at home, smile).  I became immediately enamored with this sophistical fragrance.

I tend to be sensitive with some fragrances, in that after I spray them on they give me a headache because they are either too strong, too spicy or just plain awful.  That did not happen at all with this scent.  It is noticeable yet light, not overbearing or offensive.  I wore it all day long around the house, I wore it to work, I wore it to a couple of events, and everywhere I went, my girlfriends complimented me on it.  My friends are my toughest critics, so if they give it their seal of approval, I know my gut instincts must be correct!  It caught their attention in a positive manner, so much so they want it now.  That is why I give this new UNTOLD fragrance my highest recommendation as an ideal gift this Holiday Season.

I also received the:

Price:  $45


DESCRIPTION:

Lavish your skin with the irresistible scent of UNTOLD in this velvety body cream. Silky and luxurious, UNTOLD Body Cream leaves the skin lightly scented.

With its sparkling and fruity introduction, radiant floral heart and mysterious addictive warmth, this fragrance captures all that a woman is. Complement with UNTOLD eau de parfum spray for the complete fragrance experience. And, it is Paraben-free.




MY THOUGHTS:

I love the fine art of layering my scents so this ultra luxurious body cream is the perfect pairing with the UNTOLD Eau de Parfum Spray!  I found that incorporating the body cream into the fragrance routine prolonged the longevity of the scent.  The thick rich body cream feels absolutely divine gliding along my skin.  It is the perfect texture, just the right amount of moisture and hydration to leave my skin feeling silky soft and glowing.

The body cream is emollient and oh so pampering and is great to apply right when you get out of the shower.  Applying this first and then spritzing yourself with the UNTOLD Eau de Parfum Spray seemed to really bring out all the notes in the fragrance more noticeably.  That is why I think that the holiday gift sets are such a great value and choice if you plan to try out this outstanding scent.  I found that doubling up with both made the scent last longer and I did not need to reapply it again for several hours.

This concludes my review.

A very special thank you to Elizabeth Arden for providing me with the UNTOLD products to use for this review.
