Elizabeth Arden perfumes have built up quite the loyal fan base over the years for those who love sophisticated, elegant and luxury scents. One scent by the brand that is particularly popular is ‘5th Avenue’ – a floral and woody fragrance. While a 125ml bottle of the Eau de Parfum would set you back £58 at Boots, Amazon shoppers have found an impressive deal that will get you the 125ml fragrance and matching 100ml body lotion for £26.88.
The Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Gift Set is currently on sale at Amazon for 54% off, saving shoppers more than £31. Described as ‘excellent value and worth it for how much you get’ it would make a great gift for a loved one, or a purse-friendly way to treat yourself to some premium beauty products that are better than half price.
Both the body lotion and the perfume have a scent that is ‘suitable for all ages’, featuring top notes of magnolia, lilac and mandarin, followed by heart and base notes of violet, ylang-ylang, peach, nutmeg, amber, iris and vanilla. One wearer has said the scent itself is ‘classic and sophisticated’ making it ‘ideal for daily wear and special occasions’. A sure-fire indicator of a lovely perfume is when others notice the scent and that’s exactly what reviewers have found. Someone shared they have received ‘lot of compliments when wearing it’.

For a scent that stays on your skin all day, the brand suggest first applying the moisturising body lotion followed by the Eau de Parfum spray. Users say that the ‘smell lasts for hours’ and the moisturiser ‘is lovely on the skin and not too greasy’ so you won’t have to wait around feeling sticky as it absorbs quickly in.
Speaking of the set, one person wrote: “5th Avenue Eau de Parfum has lovely, light and floral notes, perfect for any woman. This set includes the classically designed 125ml parfum spray bottle and 100ml moisturising body lotion. The lotion too smells really lovely, being soft and creamy. This is a very special gift set, very classy, and makes for an ideal gift for yourself, or for a loved one.”
Another reviewer commented: “Perfect set for a gift for a special someone or just for yourself! Lovely smell. Great size bottle. Came in a lively box so again would be perfect as a gift. Would recommend.” And a third said: “This set comes with a blend of floral and woody notes, which can be gifted to women who appreciate the sweet floral scents. The wrap and overall look is elegant and looks more like an expensive set.”
Overall it’s a excellent quality set offering good value for money, confirmed by a shopper who explained: “This is such a classic perfume with a real timeless elegance to it both in terms of the bottle design and the actual fragrance. It’s a flowery and sophisticated scent, really well balanced with the base notes. Nothing fancy about the box packaging but it’s a big bottle of long-lasting parfum, perfectly paired with the lotion. Makes for a classy gift – good at the right price.”
It has been touched upon that like all fragrances, the 5th Avenue scent might not be a favourite for all ‘especially those preferring lighter, less intricate fragrances.’ If that is you, perhaps Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea Eau de Parfum might be up your street – a 50ml bottle is £29 at Boots, plus the brand are running a three for two deal on selected Elizabeth Arden products here. Alternatively, Beauty For Her Eau De Parfum has repeatedly been compared by shoppers to Elizabeth Arden’s 5th Avenue – Debenhams have a 100ml bottle on sale down from £90 to £35.
