Pretty Hot

Oh my goodness i LOVE this!! I just got a whiff of this on a card as i walked through e department store, and i've fallen in love with it... It's just summery, fresh without being sickly-sweet, fruity, lively, with so much life in it, n did i mention, incredibly pretty smelling? :) greatttt job Elizabeth Arden! :) I have't smelled the original Pretty (shame on me :(), but i think i'd prefer this... Just because more people wld probaly have Pretty and so i'd smell more unique! :D Plus Pretty sounds more floral? And i'm not a pure-floral girl, so this mix of floral-fruity-sunny-smelling perfume is perfect :) Anw i live in Singapore where it's summer all yr long, so this'll smell alright anyday :) Plus, add the super-pretty bottle in eye-catcing fiery red, and i'm sold! :) Getting a bottle the next time I go by the store! Here's hoping they don't discontinue it :( It's really much more than just a summer fragrance... It manages to be amazingly sweet while being incredibly fresh at the same time, like lots of fruits that you've just taken straight out of a basin of water and are glistening fresh, and blended and then throw in a huge lot of sparkling ice cubes :) And sip this while you're sitting next to a rose or hibiscus bush... Ahhhhhh..

This does smell like Heat Rush by Beyonce but the drydown is more tolerablein Pretty Hot than Beyonce's. Beyonce's can get a funky smell happening that will only suit some people where as most people could wear Pretty Hot without it turning stale. They just may not like the perfume. Heat Rush to me can turn stale and sticky and musty. Pretty Hot you could wear in summer without that problem. I think it is way overprice here in Australia I have seen it for $90.00. That for Elizabeth Arden is rediculous. When it is cheaper I will get it but I will never pay such a price for a brand which is supposed to be accessible to middle income women it has totally lost the plot. They are trying to be expensive but everyone knows they are not. The perfumes just don't last long enough to pay that price nor are they interesting enough they are usually very safe and sometimes bland. This one is all I can ever find at the Elizabeth Arden counter they never have her other perfumes I have had to get them from the Chemist Warehouse or local chemists. Very strange.

Incredible. Iv'e been waiting for this to go on sale for under $20. Aussie Dollars and now it has. I wanted a smaller flacon though, but that does not matter. THis has that same 'Pretty' vibe only spicier. It's quite linear, so I might put a further edge on this one by layering. I feel sexy in this and I'm way old. Older but hey who's counting? I love the forbidden fruit flacon which is identical except for the colouring to the original 'Pretty'. I find this a wonderful accompiment to my Eli Arden collection though I am unsure if I will ever graduate to the tea fragrances. Though admittedly I have never tried Eli Arden's tea series. I sometimes like the tea inspired fragrances. This has the hallmark of Eli Arden. I can smell it. It is something in all her fragrances that give it that longevity. I am looking forward to wearing this one. It is really juicy. Cheers T.

"Fresh" is not how I would describe this...it is more of a "ripe" but not in a cloying sweet way. Like ripe red apples. This is definitely a gourmand, but not in the same candy-sense that alot of the newer fragrances are. Very much like the original Juicy Couture Couture and a bit warmer than Juicy Couture La La (the only Juicys I like), but they can share the same corner of my dresser. I think the longevity and sillage is stronger than the Juicys though. I am on my second bottle and it is not boring me yet. And the bottle is really pretty. I get more Cereus and Tonka than most seem to, they give it a deeper nuance than you expect with the initial peony burst after the red fruits. Not my most favorite perfume of all time, but it is my gourmand of choice.

I have the original "Pretty" which is a safe bet when you just want to smell "nice" - saw "Pretty Hot" out at the Chemist we go to and it was out for $24.00 so bought a bottle blind (box was slightly water damaged but nothing wrong with the perfume inside - original cost here in South Australia $90.00). So glad I did, it is gorgeous - very feminine and quite noticeable and "different". Have worn it now on 4 occasions and each time people have said "You smell lovely, what are you wearing?" so am very pleased with my purchase. Bottle is Pretty Hot too! Noone else in my circle of friends has it so feel exclusive when I wear it as well!
