Eau de Parfum (EDP) from Elizabeth Arden.

Scent description (editorial impression)
Lilac, lily of the valley and linden blossom, clean as a fresh white shirt: a polished 1990s floral that one owner kept for a conservative office and another traced, on a dog walk, to a woman of 84. Fans call it elegant and never a grandma scent; detractors find it screechy, flat, or soapy enough to bury the flowers.
Drawn from 27 independent reports across 2 venues.

Eau de Toilette (EDT). If neutral had a scent, one wearer says, this would be it: creamy tea and a clean sea breeze settling into soft musk, as easy at the office as at bedtime.
