What do reviewers say about 5th Avenue Royale and Amber Musc?
Elizabeth Arden went for something here that most houses approach conservatively: real warmth, depth, and a presence that doesn't apologize for itself.5th Avenue Royale
Amber Musc builds on earlier Narciso Rodriguez fragrances with added depth. The oud and amber create a warmer, more assertive character. The honeyed warmth in the opening may surprise those expecting.Amber Musc
