Blue Grass
Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 1934 in the budget price tier. It opens with rose, jasmine, lavender, geranium and orange blossom, moves into vetiver, clove and bay leaf and dries down to sandalwood, virginia cedarwood and musk. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Heart
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Bay Leaf Warm, aromatic and slightly sweet. The backbone of classic barbershop scents.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
