White Shoulders by Elizabeth Arden is a beautiful cologne. I've been wearing it for several years. It's been around since the 1940's and was originally made by Evyan. Evyan sold it to Perfumes...

What can you say about WHITE SHOULDERS? I've gone through three flacons over the last 12 years or so, all of it purchased relatively inexpensively at Walgreen's. It's kind of a "guilty pleasure"...

Classic, timeless, beautiful, feminine, unique…a fragrance made in a different era and made in America around 1945. Now, 73 years later, it is still around the most under priced fragrance...

I have used white shoulders for over 30 years. The last 2 bottles that I have bought do not have the flowery smell that I have always enjoyed. Did you change the formulation? If so what is...

I've been on a vintage fragrance kick for a few weeks now and White Shoulders was one of the perfumes I got. One by Evyan and one by Elizabeth Ardan. The Evyan version in Cologne is far more...

To me this fragrance is the epitome of the saying an iron fist in a velvet glove. On the surface it's a hopelessly romantic white floral featuring orange blossom, lillies and jasmine, to be...

I love white florals - when I initially sprayed some of this on, it smelled okay - but within seconds what ever may have been potentially acceptable, vanished. The dry down was revolting...dare I...

This is a nice floral and some would say, right off, that it smells like a "grandma" fragrance. Well, my mother wore this when she was alive and when I smell it, I think of her. I'll agree, I...
