Red Door Aura is, however, a somewhat sweeter version of the orginal. It doesn't smell like Red Door at all! Red Door is such an appalling scent to me so I was really scared it was going to be something similar, but it's really not. It smells like lady million without the pachuli, and I love that.

I tried it and it is nice, but having never been a fan of the Elizabeth Arden fragrances, I don't find it real interesting, it is a typical fruity floral, very forgettable, but I guess if you want to own an EA fragrance, this would be a nice option , as it smells nice..definitely an improvement over the dated synthetic smell of the original.

I'd say that this is a great signature scent as it could be worn in all seasons. I would wear this to work or in the daytime.

I keep my original Red Door for special occasions because I find it much stronger: a power perfume of the 80's inddeed to my great pleasure!

The name fits it perfectly because it does have a luxurious velvet smell. There is mostly Orange Blossom, Raspberry and Musk that I smell, but the proportion in which it was mixed is very well done.

Had a small sample size had to get the big one. It is a lovely scent in its own right. .

I'd love to hear from people who are actually familiar with at least one of those! I bought a small travel size of this because I was very skeptical even after reading all of the reviews. I recently bought this on a whim because I smelled it on paper. Bought this yesterday the bottle is pretty and heavy and the scent is nice doesnt remind me of alien at all but I do detect fruit and something spicy but I wont be keeping this becausr the smell doesnt project and I dont think anyone around me can smell it which defeats the purpose of wearing a perfume, I am wearing this for the first time today, and it is REALLY peppery on me.

I regretted my purchase.

In short this juice has its own character that I find unique (atleast to my nose) hence now my new signature fragrance.

I loved the sweet raspberry and orange blossom, with that hint of sandalwood and jasmine dry down. Smells very womanly to me, particularly after it develops on me, becoming warmer, muskier and spicier (although maintains a floral sweetness) making it much more seductive than the initial fresh, flirty fruitiness, so I personally see it as an evening out perfume. For some reason, after a few months of wearing it, the magic went away for me on this one. The raspberry is quickly replaced by jasmine and bergamot on my skin - maybe more jasmine than bergamot. It shares similar notes and is one of the most underrated perfumes ever . So, if you like this one try to stock at discount before it disappears from stores !

Decent spillage to begin with, at least compared to what I'm used to, and can still be smelt on the skin after 6-8 hours on me. I bought this without smelling it based on some of the reviews and I'm SO glad I did! the raspberry is 'fizzy' to me & the jasmine is almost gentle to my nose. A honey like sweetness. This is indeed similar to Narciso's For Her.

I have never smelled Red Door Reveled, so I can't compare; but the comments made regarding True Love don't cinq with my memory of it at all!Explanations??? Her bottle is simply gorgeous in a very undertated way much like its older sisters yet stands out nicely on any vanity. It's also very affordable while not being super well known, signature scent worthy!! I do smell some nuances of the original Red Door, but the citrus keeps it toned down. I find it a huge improvement in lasting power , which is a strong positive. Then it comes the raspberry with some jasmine and lime.

I like Red Door Velvet, but does it really belong to a floral fruity groupe? oh the vintages how i love them :) in fact i think the red door line from elizabeth arden is the best line they have..i love all the scents in the line :).

That is exactly what I though when I tried at Belks today and that is exactly why I bought the gift set. I don't like the original Red Door but this one is awesome on my skin.

I thought I was in love. I detect a honey note on my skin but it's not listed. It seems more powdery and strong. I was puttering around my gym's washroom one day, and the management had generously supplied this lotion for everyone's use, so of course, I tried it. I do find it strong so I have to be in the mood for a musky perfume. Fragrance Reviews: 1,286,888

Perfumes: 73,888 Last year my niece informed me that the only perfume she wore and had worn for years was True Love and that she had fallen in love with it when I gave to her for Christmas. A hint of the original Red Door with a little more spice (cinnamony). I would say Aura is more of a floral with strong sweet and woodsy undertones. Overall a lovely perfume, that will suit colder months and christmas alot. I got a lot of the jasmine and orange blossom, and the dry down smelled sorta musky and ambery. Please help me choose! And the way all that is combined in 'True Love', it's not a very good combination. On me the silage is moderate but present (it seems to warm-up and intensifies with my body heat in warm weather but never cloyinga plus as I don't have to reapply)and longivity is about 6-7 hours ending with a warm woody and a bit soft spicy base. It is evenly balanced between woods/patchouli, musk and a slight sweetness. With that being said, I think I can speak as to whether or not this smells like Alien. When I saw a bottle of Red Door Aura at TJ Maxx for a steal and saw the notes and some of the reviews I was intrigued and had to buy a bottle. I find this fragrance to be a beautiful blend of tea, florals and musk, nothing to offend anyone. It reminds me somewhat of Emporio Armani Lei - but more floral, sweeter, brighter and not quite so strong. This fragrance is delicious on a warm skin. I actually think this is a better version of TM's Alien, because it leaves out the chewiness and brings in the freshness of orange blossom and bergamot. I smell Anise in this or like a tea like scent.

It seems quite oriental, but also combined with powder, some spice, & some light florals. Now, I find myself wanting it back, thinking it might smell different. I am glad to see this added to the databank! Elegant and fresh. I love this scent, it is similar to Lovely and NR eau de toilette but with less of an Egyptian Musk dry down. IMO, this makes an ideal signature fragrance as it sparkling and sensual all in one. It is quite strong but different to the original red door it is much sweeter. It can be a good daytime scent as well as a good bedtime scent(but not so much an evening/night-time scent). This is very nice and projects well. Its really a nice fragrance. Very little sillage.). Science Says Maybe, From the Gardens of Versailles to the Gardens of Babylon; The Allure of Olfactory Exploration Beckons at Jardin de Parfums. Although I usually like Elizabeth Arden scents, I was a little suspicious of Red Door Aura, because I always thought that the original Red Door is too heavy, sweet and overpowering and perhaps most suitable for ladies of age 50+.

Velvet is quite smooth and opens with soft floral notes laced with a hint of Earl Grey and then its rounded off with a moderate amount of patchouli and vanilla, but its not too sweet. This reminds me of two scents actually - the original Hot Couture and Amarige D'Amour, almost a love child of the two scents on my chemistry - it is very wearable and I can imagine it working for warm or cooler weather it has quickly become my go to scent for when I cannot decide what to wear. Strong floriental which will not please everyone. This sweet strong wet and long lasting- in warmer weather. Upon first sniff you can tell Aura is in the Red Door product line. The first thing i thought when i sprayed it was, i really liked it. This has been in my perfume closet for two years. I need the tender, soft scents, even though I fancy myself to be a strong female. I am not familiar with Elizabeth Arden Red Door Revealed however. P.M me. I, myself, am not familiar with Sophia Grojsman's scents, however, I am familiar with Red Door 'Revealed' and 'True Love'. I haven't seen it again, this one is definitely nicer and more wearable. I found this disappointing, the raspberry was all I could smell. I gave Elizabeth Arden True Love to my niece for Christmas years ago, for it was a fragrance that I liked, floral with a little kick. And my husband likes it. Aura would be nice for spring and perhaps early summer, but something about it reminds me of winter as well, so I guess a person could use it year round. Sprayed 4 sprays (at least one too many) the first day I wore this. Similar to Narciso Rodriguez for Her and need I to say, waaaaaaaay cheapper, longlasting also, LOVE it, for me it is a floral musk though! So disappointing. Goodluck with your purchase. This is very soft and powdery. It gives it just a bit more depth, and another branch of fragrance to explore. If you disliked Red Door, I urge you not to dismiss this fragrance. However the guaiac wood, moss and orange blossom notes make me hesitate. The raspberry opening is very prominent - juicy! I totally agree with dmaw. Aura is now one of my favotire florals ! With 4 sprays it was overwhelming in the morning and I felt like everyone could probably smell me - I'm a cubicle worker so I have to worry about too much projection. If you dislike the drydown of Red Door, proceed with caution around this one. I am loving this one soooo much this Fall that I will be getting myself a backup. The new, more modern version is given vibrant citrusy notes that open the composition along with orange blossom. Love it!!!!

It's a very SAFE perfume. If you want to own a frag from the Red Door collection but found the first one too strong, then give this one a try. I'm not a fan of the original Red Door so I was surprised at how likeable this is, at first. its a modern take on the original, if red door (original) were to be released now this would be it. Look out for that pink cap come the summer! Top notes are Tea, Bergamot, Lily-of-the-Valley and Cyclamen; middle notes are Peony, Freesia and Jasmine; base notes are Musk, Patchouli, white honey and Vanille. The seductive and very feminine composition is signed by perfumer who signed the original version- Carlos Benaim. Stick to this one! I would like to add that Red Door smells fantastic on my sister who is only 23 but my senses won't be able to handle it on myself. Like Red Door but can't wear it as a daywear perfume because it's too strong? Beautiful one! There isn't really any comparison between this scent and the original Red Door. An elegant and enchanting fragrance for day or night.

I dont find this to be very floral, and I didnt detect any honey at all. Red Door is, and has always been, a big no no for me. I'll try anything once, especially if it relates to perfume. Very nice together. It really does linger and project like a ray of light with all those zesty yet opulent notes.
