Elizabeth Arden Provocative Review

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 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

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.
