Elizabeth Arden will launch Provocative Interlude in April:
…the juice — created by Carlos Benaim and Loc Dong — is described as a modern oriental with gourmand accents.
The top notes are a blend of Champagne and white berries, highlighted with guava leaf. These lead to a heart of sunset orchid, rose petals and mango flower. The base features a white chocolate accord, teamed with cashmere musk and redwood. (via moodiereport)
Provocative Interlude is an Eau de Parfum, and will be available in 50 and 100 ml.
Coming soon from Tommy Bahama: Very Cool for men, a fresh aquatic Eau de Toilette with notes of mint mojito accord, mandarin, ginger and bergamot; and Very Cool for women (shown), a citrusy Eau de Parfum with tangerine, clementine, pink pomelo and cactus flower. Both scents will be available in 50 and 100 ml and in matching body products. (via Women's Wear Daily and cosmeticsint.co.uk)

Elizabeth Arden sounds good to me, champage and Orchids mmmm. But what a dumb name! I'm embarrassed.
You might want to try Avon Extraordinary too, it has similar notes: champagne accord, chocolate, orchids, etc.
Somehow I ended up getting the Tommy Bahama Very Cool for women as a present for my birthday this summer. I have seen it on sale at Marshalls, etc but I love the bottle so I said why not try it before I just let it sit on the dresser forever…Huge Mistake! This has to be the worst scrubber of a fragrance I have ever had the displeasure to meet. The opening is very bright, citrusy, and loaded with that astringent alcohol smell. The immediate sillage litterally hits you over the head. Within 5 minutes the alcohol smell settles into laundry detergent. Then about 15 mins in, that dreaded melon smell kicks into full gear and right behind it comes the watery ozonics that make it smell like rotted wet fruit clinging to your garbage disposal. At this point I am ready for a full shower from head to toe with a loaded loofah. However, I was determined to stick it out to see what happened. And of course, it has amazing lasting power to my complete and utter dismay. The dry down even gets worse. The sillage is not as loud at this point but it turns into a very sickening sweet but somehow wet musk and the melon smell never trully evaporates ever. It smells very similar to curdled milk! Looking at the bottle and the rest of Tommy Bahama clothes line, I expected something beachy but all I got was curdled cream and rotten fruit.
Gracious!! That sounds so awful that I don’t even know what to say, except sorry!
I know it’s probably that my personal chemistry just didn’t agree with this at all, but dang! I have just never had such a horrible experience with perfume before this one. I have been trying a lot of perfumes, going perfume house by perfume house and type by type (for example chypre to chypre for comparison purposes) and I have loved some, liked a lot, and have not liked quite a few …but this one was by far the worst for me.
