Play It Lovely

I saw a tester of this on a stand in Sears and sniffed it because the bottle was adorable. It smelled so pretty! I didn't buy it right then because I was Christmas shopping and I had no extra money, but I ended up getting it as a Christmas gift from a friend. It almost smells unisex. I also smelled Play it Sexy and Play it Spicy and both were a little intense for me. I didn't spray them on me, I only smelled the spray in the air, so those two might be different on skin. But Play it Lovely is one of my favorites. I wear a lot of different perfume, but this one is closest to being my signature. The best part is that you can wear it all year. I like the Playboy brand in general, but even if you don't, I recommend giving this a try. It's very inexpensive for the good quality, so even if you don't care for it, the price is more than reasonable.

I'm not a fan of the Playboy image but this bottle captivated me so I bought a 1 ounce bottle on eBay for less than 5 dollars. What a steal. Amazing fragrance. Very sexy. Fruity. A tad powdery. I immediately smelled ripe peach. A peach you bite into on a hot sunny day and the juice runs down your lips...I also smell a hint of BlackBerry and lemon. Its a delicate scent. It would be a great spring and summer smell. The bottle is just too cute. I'm so impressed by this fragrance. Its very feline and powerful. Lusty but in a dignified way. I'll be buying all of the Playboy perfumes you can't go wrong if the rest smell just as juicy and sexy. Rest in peace to Hugh Hefner.

Bought this blind at my local drug store and was pleasantly surprised. This fragrance is cheap price wise($12 on sale), however I don't think that it smells cheap at all. It's a fruity floral that warms up. But then again depending on individual chemistry it could dry different on you. Good if you can wear sweet vanilla scents! I really like it and I thought the bottle was cute.

Just bought this today, and love it! Everyone is different, but it sure seems to stick to me for awhile, unlike some of the comments claiming it has no lasting power. I don't smell alcohol or think it smells cheap. Smells soft and sweet and delicious! I like it better than some of my more expensive perfumes!

This reminds me of christmas 2013 when i first got it and i love it since. Everybody ask me what im wearing, its warm, soft spicy and cute, but with dirty mind? Idk lol it just has that vibe. Its harder to find nowadays, i heard nina ricci nina smells similar so maybe i will try that too.

It's a light scent and I was amazed that I went for it. I'm one for stronger scents and when I wore this everyone seemed to love it! (myself included) It lasted all day and did not give me a headache the first few weeks of wearing it. 10/10 ~luciana

This is spicier than the notes suggest. This is quite long lasting on my skin. I will review this again when my actual body is clean. For now though. I am impressed with the fragrances from this range. Tacky flacon's and all. Cheers T.

Very citrusy and sweet ! It reminds me of VLJ but I find this perfume to be better. I would definitely purchase this over and over again.

WAUW!!! One of my top favorites! Just PERFECT!!!

This line is sold cheap and it smells synthetical but not badsmelling. It actually smell same with many mainstream. If you're on abudget and still want to smell nice consider these ones. Out of all the Play it Playboy bunny, I like Lovely more, because it doesn't try harder than it can. Spicy, Vip, Rock, Sexy are a little bit too ambitious and they end up smelling too candy fake spice. Lovely is more into its tracks. It's a lovely play. It's so generic that it could be confused with tons of fruity florals out there. Pear? Yes, but into the mix. No real note comes out distinctively. Nothing original. Think of a typical floral blend with some non-descriptive fruit. It could be anything. I'm sure it smells like something sold for a much bigger price. It stays floral and fruity and thanksgod never go sticky sweet on my skin. The delicately powdery drydown is interesting. Also duration is average. Not a bad one for the price.

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when I saw these little bottles in my Kmart around Christmas last year. Given the brand, I expected them to smell cheap and trashy, kind of like what you'd expect from a brand that markets nude magazines. I was actually quite surprised. Play It Lovely isn't really anything mindblowing or unique. To me, it just comes off as your standard fruity floral. Pretty and unoffensive. The lasting power isn't that great either, maybe 1-2 hours on my skin, but that could just be me. I bought a gift set with all 3 for about $10 after Christmas, and I do have to say, they are decent for the price at which I purchased them. I tend to put this one on if I know I want to wear perfume but I don't know what to wear.

I tested this today together with Play it Sexy and this one definitely has my preference! It's pleasant, innocent, clean and light. Just the right amount of sweetness and not too heavy. The citrus is not overbearing either. This would work amazing in warm weather. The flowers and fruits are blended nicely and not a single note overpowers. The tonka bean, patchouli and tuberose don't exist to my nose, but I'm okay with that. This is more of a skin scent to me, though it does travel away from the skin for the first two hours of wearing it. Longevity is good for a perfume in this price-range, somewhere between 7 to 8 hours. I I ever run out of easy, carefree, pleasant summer scents I might just get me a bottle of Play it Lovely.

i believe this is a nice and non-risky perfume to have during teenage years. i feel a bit of spice with this one, not too empowering though. it was the perfume i wore during my junior year in high school and my high school sweetheart *now ex* has this bottle now. i wish i could smell this whenever i wanted it to. i'm sure it would feel warm and sweet due to nostalgia, but regardless, it is a perfume you cannot go wrong during your teen years. not too sweet or too floral, not too empoweing or weak, such a balanced scent. still has decent projection and silliage. suitable for spring in day time.

Lovely is soft and light on me.. It is perfect for when I am going out to do some grocery shopping or something and don't want to waste my nicer perfumes.. It is one of my go to scents for dress down casual days. It is like a pretty floral body spray, just one that is actually nice! BTW, has anyone else noticed that the colors of the Lovely and the Spicy are switched on the pictures above? The Lovely is the light pink color and the Spicy has the darker pink/orange tint to it.. Just an observation.. It could be confusing to some since the bottles dont actually say their name on them..

I bought the bigger bottle of this on a whim. I reach for this quite often when I go out, since the smell itself is moderate and suitable for night and day. I agree that there is quite a lot of alcohol in this, which turns me off in a perfume. I believe this is why I don't smell everything note-by-note ; as all I can pick up is pear and orchid. Which are notes I don't usually reach for in a perfume, but then again it was a blind buy. Surprisingly, this works on my skin despite sounding so overly sweet. One spray of this lasts about an hour for me.

I was kinda dismayed when my boyfriend bought me the set of Playboy fragrances last Christmas. I was expecting something cheap and/or cloying. Playboy Sexy and Playboy Spicy kind of lived up to that (on me at least), but Playboy Lovely was worth the whole package. While the other two were way too strong for me, Playboy Lovely smells very delicate and floral with just a hint of mellow spices. And it stays on me! The lasting power is at least six hours, which for me is an eternity! The best part is that my boyfriend loves it!

Fruity and sweet but the florals balance out that sweetness. It makes it acceptable to wear anywhere. No extremes here. Tonka and amber are always a nice, warm base. It's a pleasant scent that won't offend any sensitive noses and it just stays close to the skin. It's also inexpensive which is a plus. If Play It Sexy is the sexy one, this is the prequel, it's innocent flirting and batting your eyes. Definitely a safe, all around pleasant scent that definitely will not change your life.

Once I looked past the Playboy aspect, I actually ended up liking this one. The description as fruity, sweet, white floral, citrus, fresh, pretty much does seem to sum it up. It may not last too long but it still gives me a bit of a feminine, playful feel when I spray it. It's nothing overbearing. I like spraying some on me right after I get out of the shower because it has a bit of a clean smell to it. I like it and will continue to use it and buy it again.

I get mainly pear, then some berries & orchids, plus some warm amber and just a touch of citrus to uplift a bit. I find it very sweet without being sugary. Sometimes it seams more warm and soft and then it will seem a touch more sharper, like the amber/tonka beans and the citrus are nicely taking turns. Sillage is a bit above skin and lasts 3-4 hours on my skin. Play it spicy is my favorite of this line, but this could be my second.

The price and the bottle seem to be targeting for teens but I just don't like the idea of giving a 'playboy' perfume to any teenagers - :( But besides all that this is great - lasts long enough, light and refreshing flowery smell. I have this image of girls in early 20s playing tennis or field hockey - both sexy and lovely, but nothing cheap and tacky.

I received a bottle of this for Christmas last year and I really liked it. It's light and sweet with a slightly spicy edge. This is really unoffensive and all my friends thought I smelt great. They couldn't believe it was Playboy! To be honest it's not a scent I'd repurchase because it isn't anything special but it was pleasant enough when I had it.

To me and my husband, this smells delicious. It smells very jam-like, like sugary raspberries. Obviously this is a good smell, but I usually gravitate something more complex and substantial. This is good for a romantic interlude, my heart likes it, but it does not love it. It fades fast too, a major pet peeve of mine.....

When I first sprayed it, it reminded me of a better version of Hidden Fantasy.. but now as a I sit here, I've had it on for over an hour, it hit me! It's a more floral Moon Sparkle! I have missed that scent so much! The longevity is on par with Britney & Escada but at eight dollars a bottle, the value is much better.

Play It Lovely By Playboy Is A Ok Perfume Its Not My Favourite Its Abit Too Bitter For Me I Prefere Play It Rock And Play It Pin Up Both Also By Playboy. But I Love The Bottle Its Cute Like All The Playboy Bottles Are. I'm Not Saying I Hate The Smell I Do Like It But Its Bitter I Prefere Sweet Smells.

Saw it at Walmart, smelled it out of curiosity and tossed it in my basket because it smelled soft, warm, cuddly, sexy and spicy (and stays that way on my skin) and it was less than ten bucks. Not some ground-breaking scent to be sure and it fades fast, but while it's there it's actually well, lovely.

This is a really safe blind buy! I'm not getting any blackberry, though. Opens very cool and almost masculine, but 10 minutes in it turned very soft and warm, though with a smidge of spice. Definitely a skin scent with very little projection, but I bought 40ml for $7, so I really can't complain

As for the Sexy version Lovely smells like an intense deospray from supermarket but more polished. This one is more gentle, floral and longlasting, but honestly I can't smell the listed notes!

I bought this for 3.99 at b&m bargains. . I have several playboy fragrances already and this one really is lovely. On me it's a lovely warm citrusy amber. Good in warm weather

Smells good, and reminds me a lot of Flowerbomb. Sadly, it doesn't last very long at all. I reckon it's an okay cheaper "dupe" of Flowerbomb.

It smells lovely as its name. A safe daily fragrance; light and sweet enough. Moderate longevity and sillage on my skin.

This is actually pretty nice, but very masculine smelling to me. Great for winter!

One of my first perfumes! A nice one to start the obsession!

I like this a lot. It's a good perfume for the price.

my mom lowk have taste, ts is goated 😭🙏

nice smell but stays only for 1 hour

Onmiddellijk na het spuiten, ruik ik een sterke braambessengeur. Meteen erna volgt een meer citrusachtige geur, gecombineerd met peer en een beetje amber. Al snel vervaagt de geur. Een doordeweeks parfum. Niets bijzonders.

When testing this one the last week or so, I tried it twice. And both times it started light sweet... indeed it was "Lovely". I was actually very suprised... I don't want to be cliche' but I thought being a Playboy fragrance it might be cheap or trashy. It is a good fragrance for the low price point I will say that. And initially with the opening notes I absolutely fell in love with it! The only problem is that these fresh and wonderful notes fade very quickly.. and within a short period of time turns into a completely different scent all together. Not just a floral.. but a stale and yucky one. IT became kind of musky on me after a while and I had to go wash it off within 1/2 an hour to an hour. :( I was so sad. It was awful. What I first loved, I hated it. No getting around it. It really distracted me from my work so I really had to go wash it off pronto! ugh :( awful. I even tried it twice in case I was wrong the first time. :( Sighs.. oh well. :) I guess you get what you pay for? For $18.00 I am not sure how high quality I can expect? Especially for a fragrance that is brand new. It is a very low price. It certainly smelled worse than cheap. :( I did, however, really enjoy "Play it Spicy". I will have to test that one again though to make sure I really like it. You never know. :) A Beautiful Fragrance at a Bargain price is a rare thing. Not sure if I should hold my breath though. :) ~ A girl can hope.

I was looking for a light everyday fragrance and bought this blind because of the good reviews - I usually wear Cool Water or Acqua di Gioia. If this is the 'lightest' of the Playboy scents, the others must make it hard to breathe! I found this very heavy and cloying, like one of the old powerhouse perfumes of the 80's. To me it has an initial blast of a peachy note but the follow-up is heavy and sandalwoody. It's like Tresor mixed with Obsession with the strength and catches-in-your-throat quality of Agent Provocateur. It's the kind of perfume you wouldn't want to be sat next to on a train. It's way too heavy and old-fashioned for me and my 19 year old daughter who is into celebrity fruity perfumes hates it too. Maybe someone more into heady scents would like it, but it's definitely more suited to the bedroom than the boardroom! Lasted 3-4 hours at full strength then quickly fades into something vaguely like newly polished wood. Bottle is cute though, but the hard plastic bunny ears are surprisingly pointy and make it a bit tricky to remove the lid... first time I've ever had to open a perfume by tugging on a slippery pair of ears!

strongly synthetical, so strong as the smell goes in my throat and makes it raspy. I can't use it even as a toilet scent perfume, it is that horrible. It gives me headache and I haven't never smell anything like this bad! I truly hate this... Throw it to the trash can. Can't really say any good word of this. Maybe I been scammed with fake, but who want makes fake with this cheap parfume...

A bad dupe of Nina (the red apple), lasts all of 40 minutes with minimum sillage. For a much better perfume in the same line try Avon's Ultra Sexy which has a 5 to 6 hour longevity with moderate sillage. I have never bought another Playboy scent.

I agree reviews with the lasting power of this, there is NONE. The 10 minutes I could smell it on my wrist, it seemed nice, nothing spectular, but then it was gone. Disappointing.

I know very well this fragances..cheapie scent for both ,men and women. I prefer Antonio Banderas fragrances are cheap but their smell is not so commercial, passsable.

This is a sweet and light scent. I see it only for young girls who don't want to go wrong. It's a bit like a showergel scent or so.

Cheap drugstore scent. After 30 minutes the smell is just like a cheap aftershave to me.

Smells defenitly like a mans perfume :/ not lovely on my skin.

I saw the first three Playboy fragrances at a discount store when they first came out. I'm not a fan of Playboy, but I love Coty perfumes and I thought the little bunny-ears bottles were cute, so I wanted them. Among the items I finally got were a .375 ml bottle of the Play It Lovely cologne, and a bottle of the body mist. This review is for the mist, although I think the cologne wasn't really any different except it lasted somewhat longer. I have fibromyalgia, which affects my sense of smell, so many fragrances seem too heavy for me now, or don't smell like they used to. Also, it's super hot here now, so I don't want a perfume that's too heavy or feels like it's weighing me down. So I got this bottle of Play It Lovely and sprayed it around my shoulders and neck this morning, and it's sooo refreshing and pretty! I really smell the citruses at first, which give a cooling effect. Then the floral aspect comes out, nice and soft. Like other reviewers, I don't really get individual scents here, just flowers. Finally the amber and spices emerge, but the scent is very close to the skin now, giving a nice sweet aura. Not lasting at all. Overall slightly flirty, but not really sexy. Some reviewers find this fragrance too spicy, but not me--to me it's very classically feminine, although I think people should wear what they like. A lot of reviewers seem to enjoy this and find it an easy reach (or at least inoffensive), so I would definitely recommend it if you don't have something similar. Would be very nice for young ladies or casual wear. I'm putting my bottle in the fridge!

I bought this out of curiosity , after picking up the Playboy New York thinking it was for women - it was only $10.00 - almost took it back but later that day I mentioned my mistake and asked my boyfriend he would want to put some on just for the hell of it. My god it smells so good on him ! On him it's so sexy and absolutely delicious - I admit I was surprised that this smelled this good, not cheap or obnoxious like I find alot of men's colognes and fragrances - even alot of the high dollar ones out there I could care less for. So I thought this time I would get my self the Playboy for women right this time - Play It Lovely out of the three they have for ladies. I immediately loved the sweet peachy scent, it's creamy and soft . The citrus is gentle but bright , the berries add to the sweet femininity of this perfume . Amber is one of my most favorite scents so I can't deny this is a yummy sexy perfume. It does not smell cheap at all, at least to me , my only complaint is that it has no power to it , I don't see why the people that developed this couldn't of made it a little stronger , surely it can't cost them that much to do so, there are other 'drugstore' perfumes out there that have staying power along with smelling great. Play It Lovely may not stand out amongst the myriad of perfumes out there but that doesn't make that a bad thing if you have it; if only they would of made this stronger, I think this could of been a fantastic scent.

I find it bizarre that three reviewers here, almost in a row, have described Play It Lovely as being masculine and more like a man's scent than a woman's. How VERY strange! To me, Play It Lovely is most definitely NOT masculine, but it's VERY feminine. I was a bit wary of trying any of the Playboy fragrances, thinking they'd smell a bit cheap and tacky but I first smelled this in the body spray form and was so impressed that I then immediately decided to buy it in the perfume too and I'm so happy I did. It's soft, delicate, sweet, a little fruity / floral, quite clean smelling and just downright very likeable. Thankfully I don't detect the patchouli, which is a note I hate! It lasts on me for hours, which is a happy surprise given its price point, and lingers subtly and invitingly. This has become one of my 'go to' fragrances in recent weeks and I'll definitely be buying another bottle when I run out, or before as a back-up. I can only assume that the people who have said it smells masculine, or that it changes on the skin after awhile and starts to smell not very nice, have skin that turns this perfume that way for some reason! It seems to me from reading the other reviews that most people like this perfume, find it to be very feminine and are as happy with their bottle of it as I am with mine! Oh, I've also tried both Play It Spicy and Play It Sexy and, in my opinion, they're not as good as this one!

Very diverse reviews! I'm on the fans' side...Christmas shopping in Walmart, I smelled a "LOVELY" scent coming from the perfume isle. I stood and sprayed every bottle until I found it! Yay, Play It Lovely was the one! I couldn't begin to identify the notes...nothing was obvious, which added to its allure. It's simply a soft, gentle, slightly soapy fresh aqua cloud of scent. Way too delicate to be a man's fragrance. Who cares if it's Playboy or a cheap bottle? I will call it "Lovely" when I get compliments on my perfume...no need to go into detail unless it's a friend asking about it ;-) Update: This one changes a lot over time! After wearing it a whole day, I see why the reviews are so mixed. The first hour is how I described it above...then it DOES lapse into a more patchouli dominated spicy mix. NOT what I hoped for, patchouli is something I avoid! The ending is back to softness, but very weak...a spicy Love's Baby Soft, just before disappearing completely. Sigh.

I admit it-I was prejudiced and all set to sneer at this one and write it off as a cheap fruity sweetie tacky bottled mess. I take it all back. Its actually quite pleasant. Its not as sweet as I was expecting, and not as fruity as the notes suggest. I found it a little spicy, and the fruit notes are a nice mix of citrus and sweet apples (which I got instead of pear). Its not complex or multifaceted or full of evolving layers of esoteric notes, but its a pleasant, wearable scent. Its summery and happy, and not at all sexy or slutty. Its very light and doesn't last long though, but its a nice little everyday scent. I still think the bottle is horrible though! Its got a shiny plasticky lid with black rubbery rabbit ears...
