Elizabeth Arden opens Provocative Woman Perfume on quince, ginger, lotus, raspberry, and peach, an ambitious fruity spiced rush that immediately signals real confidence behind the composition. Orchid, pink freesia, apricot, and papaya carry the middle into lush, exotic floral territory that keeps things warm and convincingly inviting throughout the entire wear. Sandalwood, amber, red amber, hinoki wood, white tea, and cedar close the base in rich, warm depth that lasts for many hours after application fades considerably.
This fruity floral Eau De Parfum suits evening wear and confident occasions especially well, bold rather than understated about its own considerable presence. Elizabeth Arden constructed something genuinely daring here, living up fully to its provocative, unapologetic name from spray to dry down.
