Eau de Toilette (EDT) from Elizabeth Arden.
Paid links · Sold via a marketplace listing · how this works
Scent description (editorial impression)
A big, honeyed bouquet of rose, orange blossom and white flowers that turns warm and spicy: the smell of the early nineties to those who were there, and a powerhouse of which one spray is plenty. Fans call it sexy and all business at once; to others it is too heavy, like cakey foundation, or grandmotherly until it settles.

How can I tell whether a bottle of Red Door Eau de Toilette is the current formulation?
A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.
To check a particular bottle, ask Elizabeth Arden or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.

Red Door Eau de Toilette is sold as Eau de Toilette (EDT), a label generally used for a lighter fragrance concentration than eau de parfum.
The labels are not standardised, they do not predict longevity or projection, and versions sold under the same name can differ in composition.

White Tea Eau de Toilette
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.
