About
Pretty by Elizabeth Arden is a Floral fragrance for women. Pretty was launched in 2009. The nose behind this fragrance is Claude Dir. Top notes are Orange Blossom, Mandarin Orange and Peach; middle notes are Peony, Jasmine, Lily and Iris; base notes are Musk, Woody Notes and Amber. A new, fragrant beauty arrives on the market in February 2009 and joins perfume collection by Elizabeth Arden. It was named Pretty and it will be available in as many as 27 countries of the world. Pretty seduces with its feminine concept, which rounds complete body and face care, as well as with floral juices created by perfumer Claude Dir of Givaudan. The fragrance opens with refreshing breezes of Italian mandarin and orange blossom mixed with peach juices. A heart is floral and gentle, created of petalia, starry jasmine, pink lily and peony, while base is soft and pleasant, composed of musk, Jacaranda wood and creamy amber. Petalia is a new, floral molecule which was first used and introduced in this very perfume. It is a creation and patent by the house of Givaudan. A flacon of Pretty is feminine, transparent and made of glass, with a heavy glass bottom. It was inspired by flower vase, since floral theme marks this edition in every view, from advertisement to ingredients. The advertising campaign was made by creative director and vice-president of the house of Elizabeth Arden, Mark Dixon, and it was envisaged as a timeless floral saga decorated with floral motives captures in a fragrant and feminine moment. Advertising video and posters were made in a team, by husband and wife - Coliena Rentmeester and Tom Dey. TV commercial will be shown starting from January 2009, whereas advertising materials and posters will be present in fashion catalogues from March 2009. New fragrant beauty of the collection Elizabeth Arden - Pretty, will be available as 50ml (1.7oz) and 100ml (3.3oz) Eau de Parfum, 200ml (6.8oz) body lotion and 100ml (3.4oz) body powder.

About
Flora by Gucci Glorious Mandarin by Gucci is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Flora by Gucci Glorious Mandarin was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Cresp. Top notes are Mandarin Orange and Peony; middle notes are Jasmine and Piña Colada; base notes are Musk, Woodsy Notes and Amber. The prestigious Italian fashion house of Gucci launches a new collection of fragrances under the creative director of Frida Giannini. It comes out in May 2012 named Flora by Gucci Garden Collection. The collection includes five most important blossoms outlined on the legendary Gucci scarf designed by Vittorio Accornero for Princess Grace of Monaco. These five new editions are: Glorious Mandarin, Gracious Tuberose, Gorgeous Gardenia, Glamorous Magnolia and Generous Violet.“It’s a sort of bouquet of scents,” said Giannini for wwd, “So Gorgeous Gardenia because I wanted to underline the gorgeously feminine side of this fragrance. Glorious Mandarin because there’s a sort of euphoria in mandarin, since it’s such a sparkly fruit.” In the process of making these fragrances, it was very important to distinguish them from one another. The idea is that each fragrance should reflect a facet of the same woman. The fragrances come in elongated hexagonal shaped bottles with transparent rather than gold stoppers.The face of the advertising campaign is Abbey Lee Kershaw, shot by Solve Sundsbø. The fragrances are available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette, except mandarin and violet one that will be available exclusively at Gucci flag stores as 100 ml Eau de Toilette.
