White Tea Wild Rose
by Elizabeth Arden
White Tea Wild Rose by Elizabeth Arden is a soft, clean, and gently floral fragrance centered around rose and white tea notes. It opens with a bright, slightly tart burst of red currant and pear blossom, followed by a light, fresh rose and peony heart, all wrapped in a subtle green herbal backdrop. The dry-down reveals a delicate, powdery musk with a hint of amber and tonka bean, creating a refined, spa-like scent that feels inoffensive and truly feminine. The fragrance performs best in spring and summer, offering a moderate, intimate sillage that lingers close to the skin. While not explosive or long-lasting—most reviewers note it fades after a few hours—it remains pleasant, uncluttered, and unworried by boldness. It works well as a daytime scent for offices, casual outings, or personal care routines, especially for those who prefer light, non-sweet floral notes over heavy perfumes.
