Elizabeth Arden Always Red Femme is described as being a "an intoxicating interpretation of the Always Red fragrance" which is a scent I went to track down and quite liked, but prefer Always Red Femme from the two.
The packaging is stark and noticeable with a black box covered in red florals and the words Always Red capturing your attention, whilst the work Femme, is written in a more feminine font. Inside the perfume bottle mimmicks the outer packaging before the back of the bottle hosts what is the famous Elizabeth Arden door.
Always Red Femme is a mixture of fresh fruits, delicate florals and warm woody tones and is a scent which you notice from the very first spritz, it isn't shy or light, but instead arrives with a punch to let you know it is there. With zesty top notes of the blackcurrant bud, lemon and green pear it lands quite heavy and takes a few minutes to settle before you are greeted with the heart notes of peach blossom, ily of the valley, davana and jasmine which take in most of my favourite scents together to create what is a beautifully refreshing scent which are beautifully crisp and light and dry down as Patchouli, moss, cedar and vanilla from the base notes finish off to leave a beautifully fresh floral and fruit scent.
Admittedly, I was expecting to find that this would be a scent perfect for my mum, but no absolutely not, it is mine and I am not willing to share it. Priced at just £54 for 100ml it is a fantastic bargain and one which will look pretty on any make desk!
