Just a light floral scent.. Not over-powering at all.. I usually put on a few spritz before heading out the door.. Even though I like it, I wish I didn't get the large bottle..

very light floral fragrance that has a hint of citrus . It's also very clean and fresh. It's not crazy sweet like many perfumes on the market today so I don't have to worry about attracting fruit flies. No head ache. great for the summer. I will definitely repurchase. I am not giving this a 5 star because the fragrance doesn't last very long as with most soft light fragrances.

I love Pretty! It reminds me of my old favorite Clinique's Happy but I like Pretty better. It's such a soft feminine scent. I love to layer this with the lotion and it lasts all day. It is definately a daytime fragrance even though I like to spray myself with it before bed just to smell it. :)

I found this PRETTY fragrance, the next on my list with eaudemoiselle de givenchy! I bought Dioraddict2 but pretty caught my attention with the lovely and feminine aroma like the name, smells so pretty, maybe a little safe but it really smells good! Something different from the previous EA releases, maybe someone can consider for a young girl but if u want to smell lovely, just be pretty by Elizabeth Arden!!!! Perfect for any time, love it!!!! ;)

This is the fragrance I am using right now. I'll be honest it doesn't wow me but it does smell very feminine and like its namesake. I find that if I wear too much it gives me a headache. So I just dab a little bit on my wrists and I'm good to go. Long-lasting, which is always a plus.

This is a lovely scent - so delicate. The notes seem to just "float" on my skin - the florals are so pretty but there's a nice creaminess to the scent that keeps it from being too sharp. It reminds me a tiny bit of Stila's Creme Bouquet with a lot less powderiness, though there is a slight powdery note. I also have the body lotion and it's just as nice as the fragrance. I love layering to help keep the scent lasting. When I wear this perfume, it lifts my mood and makes me feel happy and feminine. Pretty is the perfect name for it.

Scent:
It really is very "Pretty"! I like this scent because its a nice light, girly scent. I think that some people would find is a little too sweet if you like more musky or spicy scents, as this definately falls into the romantic floral catagory... but thats why I love it! Rather pricy but delicious!

Bottle:
I love shape of the bottle - it looks elegant and cute at the same time on a dressing table. I also love the semi-transparent pink bottle cap with the little flower design.

My husband bought me the gift set for my anniversary, which came with the body lotion, which is also very nice and gives a much more long lasting scent when paired with the fragrance.

I llllove this perfume. I got this as a present from my mom. Its fresh, floral with a note of citrus...
I love it for spring and summer for work or simply everyday.
The only reason I took one lippy of is that it lasts 2-3 hours.

I fell in love with this at the Macy's Counter, so bought the perfume, lotion, and powder. The thing that frustrates me is I spent alot of money on this and I loved the way it smells when first applied etc. but nobody could smell it on me! I hate that! I asked my hubby several times and said he could not smell it and blamed it on his allergies. So then I asked my mom and she said she could not smell anything either. (and we were even in a closed car together and she could not smell!) So returned entire set for full refund! I want a perfume when I enter a room, people are like wow what smells so good? Not a strong offensive one where people gag and don't want to get near you, just a nice smelling one people notice in a good way. I keep searching for that perfect scent of clean perfume. I have tried Philosophy Pure Grace and Amazing Grace, and again nobody could smell on me. I stay away from the whole Clean line because I don't want to smell like dryer sheets, or cotton as my clothes already do! It seems so far the only perfume in my collection that has ever "gotten noticed" is Ralph Lauren Blue for women. I'll just keep looking until I find it. Right now I recently discovered the Victoria's Secret Fresh and Clean and LOVE IT, but I was disgusted to learn like a million other people wear this one too! Including a few in my own family! I want my own signature scent!

If you're a fan of peony scents, you must, must try Pretty. It's much stronger than I expected it to be based on reviews. On me, the lasting power is excellent. It lingers until I wash it off - even overnight. Sometimes when fragrances seem short-lived on me (rarely), it's because I'm anosmic to the basenotes, and, luckily, that's not the case with Pretty! On me, Pretty smells harsh and astringent in the air right after it's sprayed, but the fragrance itself on skin is soooo lovely. Thankfully, the first blast settles quickly, and Pretty becomes a bright, orange blossom, peachy, jasmine, peony fragrance. I spray it in one room, then quickly walk away, so as not to get whiffs of the initial spray. It's become characteristic for me with Claude Dir's creations (i.e. Beyonce Heat, Lexington Ave., Marc Jacobs), that they start out sharp, or too fruity, and unimaginative, but they become really enjoyable, and just about addictive. Pretty is the just what I want from a fresh, summery, light, feminine, easy-to-wear, reasonably-priced fragrance. It's refreshing, and happy.

Must say that i am hard to convince on any new perfumes.. i am loyal to Michael by MK and Beautiful- EL.. but received this as a gift and decided to smell it and then try it.. It smells Pretty... fresh, clean and young... and that is how i feel when i wear it. Perfect for a romantic evening, my hubby has never in 9 yrs have asked me about my perfume..specially during "foreplay" but he did ...and i said..I quote..It smells very pretty.
Go buy it and use it ... it was a great night. ;) !!!

I like this scent for work, but its too floral for me. I'll continue to wear it until I use up the bottle though. I do get compliments on it.

Got this as a GWP sample. The bottle is pretty. The scent smells pretty on a tester. Pretty boring. Pretty safe. Pretty bland. Pretty generic. Pretty is an apt name for it.
However, my skin did not agree with me wearing this and made it go sour. I smelled no florals, just this sharp, almost grassy/ plasticy scent. Ugh. I'll stick with my Fracas, thank you.

Like a hundred other little girl scents-not offensive, light, slighty fruty, solo scent, will probable sell well since it's not complicated or loud or lasting/ olly positive is a hint of green. Bottle is clean and uncomplinted as well. Not a purchase for this gal.

I don't think Ihave ever encountered a product as appropriately named as 'Pretty'. Everything about this product is pretty to the point of nearly being a little saccharine: from the pink, slightly heart shaped bottle with what is meant to be a pressed flower in the top, to the pink box to the very pretty delicate fragrance. This bottle will look lovely on your dressing table if you like to leave your bottles on display - I prefer to keep mine in a cupbaord away from sunlight.

I love it when I first spray this lovely floral fruity fragrance - if that is the correct way to describe a perfume. It is a bit of a mood lifter and instantly makes me feel light and airy - inspite of these awful dreary dark Winter mornings! I think this perfume taps into the 'little girl' image of femininity - especially considering the range of products available from body lotions to powder puffs. I have not seen powder puffs or talcum powder available for agaes and yet Elizabeth Arden has introduced it into this range of perfume. And the enjoyment I get from this perfume is akin the enjoyment I used to feel as a little girl upon trying on a pretty new dress.

Now i'm at the end of my 50ml bottle, I thought i'd add my review of Pretty. I normally review perfumes almost as soon as i've worn them, but i've worn this on and off for a year and it hasn't made much of an impact on me. Its really nice - but just that - nice! on my skin, nothing special. A watery floral, very fresh but with little staying power. It does smell like a lot of other things, reminds me of estee lauder Pleasures. Perfectly wearable esp. for casual use, but no wow factor.
