Provocative Interlude Elizabeth Arden for women

Perfect scent. It is a better, classier version of Fantasy. <3<3<3<3
Oh and it so well priced as well. Elizabeth Arden fragrances are really dang good much better than the overpriced designer fragrances.
I wish it wasnt discontinued though I mean they always have green tea that last all of 30seconds or red door which is a big 'no bueno' but they never have their good ones on the Elizabeth arden stands or their website.

If you like BS Fantasy, but you don't want to buy it because you cannot tolerate the idea of wearing something allegedly created by Britney, you should definitely go for EA Provocative Interlude...
I can't help it, I hate celebrity scents! Although some fragrances may be quite nice, I absolutely hate the packagings, which are usually tacky and not elegant at all...
If you are looking for a gourmand juice for wintertime, but you don't want to spend a fortune on it, Provocative Interlude may be a good solution. Also the bottle is pleasant and doesn't stand out as a tacky bottle of BS Fantasy does, making a poor impression of your vanity table!
Price: 10 euros for 50 ml EDP

Blind buy based on reviews here and I am not disappointed. Delectable white chocolate, fruits, hint of floral, just as everyone describes. Wearable anytime and anywhere, and a steal at £15.95, compared to some of the eye watering prices around at the moment, (to go with some of the eye watering fragrances, no doubt).

Juicy fruits covered in white chocololate with a hint of some floral notes to stop it becoming sickly. This fragrance is gorgeous. Just the right amount of fruits, floral and gourmand notes to make it more of a mature, soft, sexy sweet rather than the syrupy kind. Even though it's listed as an Oriental Vanilla which are usually best worn in the winter, I think think this fragrance is versatile enough to be worn for all seasons.

This is an excellent gourmand fume!

On my skin, delicious mangoes and berries upon first application swim on top of orchids and roses. At the heart, a yummy blend of fruits, flowers, and creamy white chocolate warmly glow. It's sweet but not cloying. Very sexy and very well done.

Another successful blind buy thanks to you Fragranticans! :o)

Sorry ladies but I have another thing to get off my chest. I don't know in your countries but here in Australia I went to the Elizabeth Arden counter at Myer and thought well surely I can get her perfumes there. NO!! All they had was that Pretty and Pretty Hot and Green Tea. I mean really. Why don't they have her other perfumes as well. You used to be able to go to Macys or Myer or whatever and they had the lotions and the whole range. I asked the women on the counter about Red Door. She said with a rinkled nose "Oh no, we haven't made that in years." That sounds rediculous to me because it is still on the Arden website. So I cannot figure out why Pretty is all the rage and that useless Green Tea which lasts five seconds on the skin yet all her other perfumes which some are really good quality considering all things, are no where to be found except in huge discount chemist places. Does anyone know what the situation is there?

I cannot understand the perfume stores and chemists here in Australia. I cannot find this anywhere but Brittney's fantasy and curious is overloaded and heavily reduced. Fantasy is a little too young for me but this is perfect. Why do the stores always stock all the celebrity stuff this is so similar and better quality and inexpensive but they never have it!

Has it really been discontinued? Because I thought maybe I have to re-try it again.
My first impression was that this is a nice gourmand scent for all the Britney and Pink Sugar lovers. It's inexpensive and not too strong. I didn't like it at first but would have been willing to give a second chance.

Interlude is such a twin sister to Fantasy :-)
It is just as gourmand, the only difference might be that I can smell more woody notes in Interlude.
Interlude is a bowl of fruit topped with melted white chocolate.
To me - one of the best gourmand fragrances there are on the market.
Silage and lasting power are decent.
What a relief that Elizabeth Arden does not release fragrances that are all aimed at mature, serious, elegant women only, but makes some space for those young and young at heart ones!
Great blind buy - I knew I would love it!

I had this and could see why it is so loved. Provocative Interlude would appeal to fans of Britney Spears Fantasy because the fruity white chocolate is disarmingly similar. It's a sweet, feminine, and comforting combination. I think Provocative Interlude is like Fantasy grown up, because the white chocolate accord is accented with prominent florals. Whereas Fantasy is saccharin cotton candy sugar, Provocative Interlude is a melted creamy caramelized floral butter. Those feeling too teeny-bopper and unpolished wearing Fantasy may enjoy this more sophisticated perfume.

I used and enjoyed Provocative Interlude, but eventually had to sell it. Orchid is one note that I can't stand, and it was the most prominent floral on my skin.

Fabulous, gorgeous, enchanting! I'm sooooo glad to have a big bottle of this! Perfect sweet sugary smell of white chocolat. Definitely special, not just a "dessert smell".

Way too sweet for me I love Provacative Woman but not this.

Awesomeness thought I would enjoy this...and she was RIGHT!

This is such a delicate, fruity oriental vanilla. So amazingly comfortable on my skin as if it always belonged. The rose & orchid hangs out all the way to the drydown to meet that yummy white choclate. I also get musk, which can sometimes go very wrong on me, but this is soooo very right. Sexy without trying so hard. I love fragrances that can do that. Special kudos to ones, such as this, that can be worn all year round, too!

It's fresh & fruity enough for summer, yet great for getting cozy in the winter.

i used to have a try of this several times in the perfumestore, because i wanted so mutch to love it about the nice bottle and the notes listed. i hoped it will be a rich gourmand but no, all i could get was the the sweetness of strawberry and and white chocolate close to the skin :( to bad. i like it but it's too weak and simpel for me and it did not developpe in something special, on my skin it doesn't at least... very girly and innocent, not sexy.

I loved this perfume, and found a bottle (which I stupidly didn't buy) recently at Kohl's. Now I can't find it anywhere, but I bought a bottle of Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Nights today, and it smells so similar to me that I thought they might have simply rebranded it. Try it, even if it's not identical, it's lovely.

Top Notes: Wild Berries, Sparkling Champagne and Guava Leaf.
Middle Notes: Sunset Orchid Accord, Mango Flower and Velvety Rose Petals.
Base Notes: White Chocolate Accord, Redwood and Cashmere Musk.

This was a blind-buy, based on reviews and notes and the worry that this could be hard to find these days.

PI starts strong with juicy berries, sparkling champagne and white chocolate. When it settles a bit the rose comes in to the picture. The base is warm and sweet mix of musk, white chocolate and light berries.
Beautiful, sweet, warm, gourmand, berryish, soft, creamy delicious...

The bottle is lovely and I think it suits the fragrance good. Purple lace is playfully sexy (black lace would be too much) and the curves of the bottle very feminine.

Highly recommend to gourmand lovers!

I tried to not to like this but try as I might,I couldnt help myself.Whats not to love?There r just enough fruits to make it sweet.I detected the mango blossoms from the very beginning.That lil bit of green from the not quite open ones cut out that too sweet note u sometimes get with fruits.its smooth,velvety,creamy and seems to have honey dripping from it.The white chocklate(My fav) adds to the romantic aura it has.Imagine fruit being dipped in creamy melted white chocklate and ur lover licking the excess of ur fingers.THAT kind of sexy.Its a shame u cant get it anymore.BUt,Ill bet if u look,theres some somewhere.I hope.Forgot to say the vanilla is the best most natural yet.

There are similarities between this one and Fantasy, mainly because of the white chocolate note which is quite strong in both of these perfumes.
However, I dislike Fantasy as there is something annoying about it, probably the orris root; while Provocative Interlude is really nice! It starts off a bit strong and smells like creamy vanilla liquor first (a bit like Baileys), then it settles down into delicious vanillic white chocolate. More gourmand than oriental vanilla! I really enjoyed it. A must try for vanilla and gourmand lovers.

It smells very much like Eat Natural Apricot and Yoghurt musli bar we have here in the UK. Try it to believe it.

I'm getting this next. I tried it at a store and perfect to me! I like every single one of Elizabeth Arden's perfumes that I've tried. I haven't tried them all but there are five or six at the top of my list of favorites just from her. She, or whoever conjures up her various scents are realistic and pleasant in every way. Impressive so far!

provocative interlude is first perfume i tried by E.A. and i totally loved it.

Damn it! I normally don’t like EA’s own name fragrances, so I’d avoided PROVOCATIVE INTERLUDE until it had been discontinued, only to then pick up a bottle from EvilBay and discover that I absolutely love it…




PROVOCCATIVE INTERLUDE is always mentioned as a grown up version of Britney’s Fantasy or Thierry Mugler’s Angel, so it surprised me with its lightness. I was expecting something stronger & sweeter.
PROVOCATIVE INTERLUDE is a mild mix of creamy vanilla, berries and rose on me. I do get the Fantasy references, but the sweet notes lend comforting warmth, minus the sugar rush I was expecting; PROVOCATIVE INTERLUDE knows where to draw the line between pleasantly ‘come closer’ sweet and ‘child’s first perfume’ syrupy sensory overload.


I first tested this on one of the hottest days of the year, yet it wasn’t sickly or cloying; PROVOCOTIVE INTERLUDE is a fantastic all year round scent with good staying power, at a reasonable price & a gorgeous bottle. I’m going to be haunting EvilBay…

This one is so soft and sexy. I agree 100% with those who say this is the grown up version of Fantasy. I love it and receive compliments on it all the time. What I love most is how perfectly balanced the fragrance is. It isn't too strong or light, too woody or too fruity. It is perfect for any time of the year. The lasting power is great as well. I highly recommend it. ;')

If you can't find this, keep an eye out for Escada MAGNETISM - they're very similar...

yes i get mine today after i order and wait for a few days
i love the scent its flirty and sweet

I've been looking for this one for a long time and God,to my nose this is very similar to lolita!they are both sweet,with hints of violet.but this one is less sophisticated than lolita.
I really love the bottle and the smelling.this perfume deserves all of good reviews which are made about it and it'll satisfy oriental-vanilla lovers.
it starts with fruity notes,though the chocolate is still touchable and the dry down is all about vanilla.
I like it much more than provocative woman and I think it's more girlish,though it can be wore at any age,as there isn't anything childish with it and my mum likes this one more than provocative too.
I see some people here claim it's discontinues.I don't if it's for sure or not,but today I tested it in a store and doesn't seem to be gone.by the way it's a pity if it;s discontinued.I just got to know it and if I didn't have lolita,I would buy this one for sure(maybe after my 100 ml of lolita finishes,I do so?!)

Hey guest-Kathy! ;') you can order a large bottle for $34 on e-bay. That includes the shipping. I am ordering mine today based on the reviews here so you should hurry up and order too before they are all gone. ;')

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! WHAT!!?? I can't believe they discontinued this. I loved it so much. My mom had bought this for herself and I tried it one time and i kept coming back for more. i'm usually one's who get terrible headache with any perfume if I over do it, BUT this one I can't seem to get enough. It's like a drug for me. i will look everywhere where this is available and stock up.

Very similar to Fantasy, but classier. I really like it.

it would be nice if anyone can suggest something that is close to this? just in case I finished my 4 small bottles, I can find a replacement? ;)

I really really LOVE this perfume... And I am really sad that Elizabeth Arden has let go of this. Before I used to buy in 2's because whenever I go to the store they are out of stock most of the time. But now I am having a hard time finding it in the market.. Love the lasting smell of powdery vanilla baby like scent.. ;)

what a beautiful fragrance... so sweet but naughty... love it.! i bought two of this...

Smells spicy sweet like escada magnetism. I would buy for a good price but it is not on my wish list.

A perfect 10!! To me this perfume may be worn for every season. Wonderful
smell of champagne, mango flower, cashmere musk. One of my favorite in
my collection.

Very sweet and girly, much better than Provocative Woman.

I use it every now and again around spring and summer time.

I like this its flirty and sweet. I get alot of the white chocolate. Its better than fantasy not quite as sweet but that is what it reminds me of. I grab this one quite often... A little goes a long way, spray with caution. This will make you feel young and girly.

i love vanilla scent but that one is sweet vanilla like fruits and too strong not quite

too strong 4me..make me feel like an oldwoman

simply delicious

mm...!!

You want sweet, too sweet but warm and comfortable, this is the right one.
