Elizabeth Arden Provocative Review

This one is okay but its not a perfume I have fallen in love with. I remember magazine adverts for this as a teen and you would peel them open to smell it. I did this and I think I might have got it mixed up with a dior or another dark blue one. As a adult I saw the dark blue box and it made me think of the magazine advert so I got the perfume. It was not what I had expected. The lid does not stay on my one very well the slanted bottle is interesting. The name of the scent is interesting too and there must be a market for it as Elizabeth Arden has been around for decades but for me it is not one I would re buy. The scent is somewhat bold but not sweet like others have said it has a musk note but it seems to also have a bit of that mens aftershave dry down to it in my opinion and old school floral as several other Elizabeth arden fumes and Revlon have.

This fragrance will always be special to me as its the first fragrance my boyfriend gave to me. I was 22 and while I think this fragrance is better suited to 30 + just because the scent is quite strong and not really floral or fruity. It seems alittle musky but I still love it. The packaging and shape of the bottle is different and so is the scent but I would be happy if I received this again

I do love this perfume. Purchased it twice so far as there is just something about the smell that really attracts me to it.... its flowery, yet musky as well and really does last on the skin throughout the day.

I love the shape of the bottle, its different from the usual and has a purple backing which you can see through the pretty clear looking perfume.

The price i think is reasonable and makes it a pretty affordable one.

I would recommend this to a friend who loves feeling and smelling feminine but not sweet.

I was influenced to buy this after trialling a friend's. It's a little floral and fruity but still classy and mature. Even though I have the EDP version, I still find that the scent wears away pretty badly after the first couple of hours but it's very strong when first applied - not really suitable for a quick touch-up in the office. However, the scent is very versatile and could easily be carried into the evening without being out of place. I honestly don't think I would buy it again for day-wear but would possibly do so for short evening events.

I bought this fragrance with 3 other fragrance in an Elizabeth Arden pack of minis. I love Elizabeth Arden fragrances and am always keen to try them all.

It comes in a cute 10 ml glass spray bottle, with a glass lid that matches the unusual shape of the bottle.

From the first spray it does smell musky and sexy and warm. It is described the manufacturer as Fragrance Mood: Confident. Alluring. Seductive. An intense fusion of tantalizing floral - oriental ingredients, this intoxicating fragrance brings a dynamic allure to a confident and seductive woman. It is certainly intoxicating and seductive as they suggest.

When sprayed on the skin it lasts for hours before it needs to be re-applied. It is an ideal evening fragrance, given the sexy musky, tones. It is very feminine. My young adult son smelt it when I sprayed it on and fell instantly in love with it.

It is very economical in terms of good perfumes.

I will repurchase in the future as I love this fragrance. I do recommend it to anyone who likes a sexy feminine, musky fragrance.

I used to like this ALOT. I went off it, but it's still a nice scent. Has staying power and you get a huge amount for your money.

This is a floral oriental perfume, strong and long lasting. I think its more a going out perfume apposed to an everday fragrance. Very similar to betsey johnsons tootoo

I really loved this scent on my mum but it didn't seem to be the same on my skin, gorgeous sophisticated fragrance that lasts

I really love this perfume and generally use it as my every day scent. I find it lasts on my skin well through the day, but is not at all sickly or sweet. I love the shape and feel of the bottle too.

It's pretty well priced for an every day type of perfume.

I love love love this perfume! when I was a t uni I had a flatmate who wore this perfume and whenever she would come down stairs to go out for the night I would say "mmm smells like a good night out" as they say smells are good ways to trigger memories and the smell of this scent always makes me smile. I later purchased it once I no longer lived with her and have done so since multiple times. I think this scent goes well with most people.
