Provocative Woman, composed by Jean-Marc Chaillan and Loc Dong for Elizabeth Arden in 2004, is a sweet, fruity scent for women with a woody amber base. Sweetness is noticed by everyone, most wearers also find it woody and floral, a fair share ambery, and a minority spicy or green.
The opening is a basket of fruit, quince, peach and raspberry, with lotus for a cool, watery note and ginger for a warm, zesty bite. The heart continues the fruit with apricot and papaya, softened by orchid and pink freesia for a light floral touch. The base turns warmer and drier: two ambers, including a red amber, over sandalwood, cedar and hinoki wood, with white tea adding a faint, clean dryness.
Most people report moderate longevity, with a quarter getting a long-lasting wear, and sillage is moderate to intimate. It is voted for autumn and winter and slightly more for evenings, suiting women who want fruity sweetness with a warm, woody finish.
