                               February 21, 2001

Elizabeth Arden, Inc.
14100 N.W. 60th Avenue
Miami Lakes, Florida 33014

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as counsel to Elizabeth Arden, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Company's Registration Statement
on Form S-4, Registration No. 333-55310 (as amended, the "Registration
Statement"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to
$160,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 11  3/4% Series B
Senior Secured Notes due 2011 (the "Notes") and the accompanying guarantees (the
"Guarantees").

          In so acting, we have examined originals or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Registration Statement, the
Indenture dated as of January 23, 2001, between the Company, FD Management, Inc.
("FD"), DF Enterprises, Inc. ("DF"), FFI International, Inc. ("FFI Inc.," and
together with FD and DF, the "U.S. Guarantors"), FFI GmbH (the "Non-U.S.
Guarantor," and together with the U.S. Guarantors, the "Guarantors"), and HSBC
Bank USA, as trustee (the "Trustee"), pursuant to which the Notes will be issued
(the "Indenture"), the form of the Notes included in the Indenture filed as
Exhibit 4.3 to the Registration Statement and such corporate records,
agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable
documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company
and the Guarantors, and have made such inquiries of such officers and
representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the
opinion hereinafter set forth.

          In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and
the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  As to all questions
of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established,
we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and
representatives of the Company and the U.S. Guarantors.

          Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated
herein, we are of the opinion that:

          1.  The Notes are duly authorized, and, when duly executed on behalf
of the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in accordance with
the terms


of the Indenture and as contemplated by the Registration Statement, will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against it in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principals of
commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

          2.  The Guarantees to be executed by the U.S. Guarantors are duly
authorized by the U.S. Guarantors, and, when duly executed on behalf of the U.S.
Guarantors and when the Notes are duly authenticated by the Trustee and
delivered in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and as contemplated by
the Registration Statement, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations
of the U.S. Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with
their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors'
rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general
principles of equity, including principals of commercial reasonableness, good
faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity).

          The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of
New York, the corporate laws of the States of Florida and Delaware and the
federal laws of the United States, and we express no opinion as to the effect on
the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

                                    Very truly yours,


                                    /s/ Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
