MANILA, Philippines - “Feeling pretty starts at an early age,” explains Geri Archer, vice president, Elizabeth Arden global fragrance marketing. “We all watched our mom getting ready to go out and even today we can still remember the perfume she wore. She taught us how to feel pretty — it became part of our DNA. We wanted to capture that emotional connection in a fragrance.”
“The idea for the new Pretty fragrance is a natural evolution for Elizabeth Arden, a brand that represents total beauty,” adds Elizabeth Park, executive vice president, global marketing, and general manager, Elizabeth Arden US. “We wanted to take our total beauty position and use the new Pretty fragrance to remind women that taking care of your skin makes you feel pretty. The right makeup makes you look pretty. Fragrance really is the finishing touch. The Pretty scent is ageless and timeless. It’s a fragrance all women can relate to. Actually, we consider Elizabeth Arden Pretty a must-have accessory for every woman.”
Pretty is a spirited floral fragrance of exceptional charm. The floral heart is surrounded by a mélange of fruits, wrapped in a well-rounded background of serene woods. At its core is a premier ingredient, Petalia. Italian mandarins possess an overtly luscious quality that is both deliciously sweet and subtly sharp. Here, Italian mandarin orpur (a selection of 100-percent natural raw materials) is used to create a sophisticated and bright top note. The magnificent essence of orange blossom welcomes you into this divine fragrance creation. Its wonderful floral character is balanced by bright citrus and fruity notes to create a captivating entrance.
Elizabeth Arden Pretty is available at Rustan’s, SM Department Stores, and Landmark Department Store.
