Description
Playboy launches women’s perfume collection, which consists of three scents: Play It Lovely, Play It Sexy and Play It Spicy. Each of these three represents a step in the women’s game of seduction. Play It Lovely entices him; Play It Sexy ensnares him, and Play It Spicy bounds him.
Play It Spicy is the most unusual of the three perfumes, oriental, floral and hot. The smell of the winner and of the women who knows how to play the “game”.
Top notes: pomegranate, Bellini cocktail and pink berries. Heart: tiger lily, passion flower and heliotrope. Base: amber, sandalwood and vanilla.
It is available as 30 and 50 ml EDP and 150 ml body spray. Play It Spicy was launched in 2010.

This perfume is a delightful fizzy mix of oranges, juicy fruits, and vanilla! I liked it best out of Sexy, Spicy, and Lovely. It has decent longevity and a very cute bottle. This fragrance strikes me as something perfect for a summer day traveling to the beach. A bit similar to Beyonce Heat Rush but with more fizz.

This was pretty surprising considering the price. Which is why I blind bought it. My expectations were next to zero. I suspecting chemical and knock-offs. I was more than taken back when I began testing it I was entranced with that Belinni, Vanilla and Amber cocktail. It spritzed on very nicely and surrounded me with most pleasant sultry combinations of scents. They did a good job on the blending, never smelt even the slightest cheap or chemical residue. The dry-down did not diminish the experience in the least and even settled into a very alluring and warm afterglow. I was pretty impressed. Enough to blind buy their other fragrance that fell into my preferred “Scent/note safe zone” that being “Queen Of The Game” which also solidified my trust in these scents as “very trustable nice despite the price”. Though the two are a bit different that sail on the same sea, and react with my body chemistry very well.

Wouldn’t have tried this in a million years. Had I not seen the reviews on this site. The price makes the risk of a blind buy possible. It is my first playboy fragrance and probably not the last.
I think this fragrance is wonderful. For the price and amount you can’t pass it up. I didn’t know what to expect. Something cheesy, sleazy and cheap. Not at all its delicate and not overpowering or offensive. I do not regret this blind buy glad I took a chance.
Dexter9121 – :
Smells almost exactly like Adrienne Vittadini Amore which I already own and am not crazy about. Too rich.
skin123 – :
Smells amazing I smell vanilla/fruit/spice/floral/wood this stuff makes me feel good when i spray it it’s almost a somewhat beachy kind of smell in my opinion anyways I think it is perfect for all seasons! it’s one of a kind!.. lasting power is weak lasts about 2 hours at the MOST but it is a great fragrance for the price.

Great notes on Spicy but iffy fume. Cheap is better description than affordable but let’s not get too stuck up yet. Personally, I see Play It Lovely and Sexy as generic. However, sometimes another angle helps. I only got a 1 ounce set of these three. I paid about a buck more for the shower gel of Lovely and Sexy. Cannot find shower gel for Spicy. However, there are very affordable body mists of Spicy for under $7 now so I snatched one. This is Coty so I’m not worried about quality that much and it does seem to be better not in perfume form. These might work better as body mists. Then there is no upset that they fade so quickly. The mist may better capture the idea of the scents. The perfumes are more accents than stars or even co stars .. you might buy them for the bottles but don’t overpay for any of these. Be creative! I’m sure a shower gel or mist will help make these more and still allow you to layer over them for a fuller effect which isn’t hard since they are all rather in the celebrity sweet genre. I think of these as more Bath and Body Works shelf level and am very happy with the end result because really we’re talking a few bucks for some perfume fun and variety.
You want a Bellini potion with a bit more kick but still basically a light scent? Try Mariah Carey’s Luscious Pink.

I like this perfume. It is a nice floral, not heavy and not too sweet. It has a nice soft flowery spicy smell with some woods. I love the lotion too. Any age can wear this.
Kores – :
Very frustrating to review this because this is incredibly effective! Sweet, spicy, ultra sexy and screams ‘come hither…if you dare’
I only picked it up for the voluptuous and curvy bottle as I initially had no care about the juice inside. Once I placed her up on my shelf she immediately blends in with the rest of my 90 bottles and refuses to look tacky despite the plastic bunny ear cap.
Now for the most amazing thing about this perfume ( amazing and annoying at the same time! ) My partner is used to me wearing all sorts of indulgent fragrances and some times weeks can go by without him taking notice of what I am wearing even when I change my fragrance every day. Sometimes I can spend hours pampering myself and treating myself to all sorts of precious lotions, potions and perfumes and it can very easily go unnoticed! This gets worn on days I am simply not feeling like putting much effort, the days which I just cant be asked to spend hours on myself. My partner compliments on it without fail!!! This annoys me because I have so many bottles of juice but nothing gets him worked up like this! The cheapest one in my entire collection! Do ignore the label on this, pick it up if you want to seduce some one… the fragrance is incredibly alluring… its not a lollipop candy hello kitty type sweetness, it is a ripe, matured, passionate, spicy sweetness with an intoxicating character… works magic on your typical man and will leave them chasing you! I have heard some say it smells like the ‘easy girl’ but this is pure stereotyping! Carry yourself with pride, walk with your head high…ignore the men wolf whistling, do let them fight over your attention and you will be fine!

I bought it when I was 19, was too sweet then but I thought I’ll get used to it and make myself like it. I’m 26 now and I still have that same bottle. I never got used to the smell, too sweet and too deep for me.
Алексей11 – :
I bought this today (another blind buy) after the notes here caught my eye and I was in luck again! Previously I had gotten Play it sexy – body spray after smelling a few of the Playboy fragrances in store and being pleasantly surprised – to me they’re girly and sweet, with nothing sultry or provocative, as one could expect. This one I find very enjoyable as well, I would describe it as a sweet, fruity-champagne-y scent (like a cocktail ;)), very feminine and playful, fit for both day and evening wear, in any season really. On my skin it lasted about 5 hours. Very happy with it!
lexa_bereza – :
i mostly just smelle like Vanilla , peach and amber….no spicy note at all…i like it a lot…sort f weak and fades away quickly though….but i just got the body spray….i want to try the perfume version
dominykas – :
I had it like 3 years ago. I remember it strong, sweet and spicy at the same time. Kinda oriental, but not exactly. Most men I dated then seemed to like it 😛 Not classy girl perfumes and probably not the greatest achievement of the art of perfumery, but I had a time of really enjoying it. By the comments below, I see it’s a bit overpriced in Poland (almost 14 usd for 50 ml).
mar288Negeltzex – :
I bought this at my local “Kinney Drugs” drugstore for $4.09!
I am surprised by how much I enjoy Play It Spicy by Playboy.
On my skin, this is a sweet amber oriental with a slight hint of floral. Sensual, warm, spicy and very wearable for me. Vanilla is very prominent throughout. Longevity is moderate but sillage is quite wide. I find this fragrance great for casual evening dates. Wore it to the roller rink and got tons of compliments.
Play It Spicy opens very sweet and fruity, but within five minutes the Amber begins to shine. Within 15, I smelled sweet Vanilla florals wrapped in Amber. To my nose, the top notes are not distinct beyond “fruity sweet.” Also, I can’t say the floral notes are genuine. But the Amber and Vanilla are certainly realistic. The dry down is sweet, slightly powdery vanilla Amber sandalwood. Very nice.
I intend to return to the drugstore this evening and procure more.
tusShoste – :
Clearly, I must have been having a bad night when I wrote my original review for this, so I’m going to write a new one. While I’m still not in love with this scent, I really am finding it quite nice the more I smell it. I still feel as though it smells cheap, but not soapy like a lot of the cheaper scents do. For the small price I paid for it, it actually is pretty impressive. The longevity is weak (2 hr max), but the sillage is decent. I wish it had a little more kick to it though. I just feel like something is missing. Maybe more amber or sandalwood would do it for me? Regardless, it is growing on me, so I’m going to keep it in my collection for a bit longer before tossing it or giving it away.
d.key – :
If this was in an fancy bottle, tagged with “lancome” or something simillar, it would be a bestseller like “La vie est belle” or so. It is very pleasant and longlasting. Not smelling cheap at all!
Paiseestula – :
I tried this on at Walmart, just out of curiosity. Very nice from start to finish. A couple men in the store told me I smelled nice, my Husband said he loved it when I got home, and our repairman wanted to know what it was so he could get some for his wife. I got berry, vanilla, and warm spice from it. The playboy bunny on the bottle is not really my thing though. I might pick it on my next Walmart visit.
BZYUK007 – :
Tried this one out today. It reminded me of Britney Spears’s Circus Fantasy, though not as fruity. This one was a little smoother with more amber and vanilla. It was pleasant, but nothing I found to be particularly memorable.
mechanik – :
I quite like this one. I had the shower gel first then I decided to give the deodorant a go and it worth the price. The scent is very strong and lasts for a while therefore you don’t need to spray much of it. If you have a skin that harmonizes well with oriental-vanilla scents maybe you should give it a try.
nuhothete – :
First smelt this when a friend was wearing it and on her it smelt gorgeous. However as soon as I buy it and spray it on myself it smelt just like a body spray in perfume form and just plain cheap and nasty. I’m not sure whether it just doesn’t mix with my chemistry very well or I bought the wrong one (pretty sure my friend said play is spicy) it I absolutely hate it. The only positive point I would give it is that for a £6 perfume the lasting power is excellent. If anyone is interested in trading this perfume (I’ll take anything!) Then just message me!
Alexey_ – :
I don’t have this one, because the last time I smelled it , it was too strong for me.
But from the deodorants , this one is the best, I always keep buying it.
I actually love all the deodorants from Play Boy, but the perfumes are very different from them, just wish it could smell the same as the deodorant.
sazan55 – :
In my opinion Play It Spicy is a very sexy skin scent. It’s in no way cheap and I don’t think anyone could guess it is from Playboy. The lasting power is not half bad either for a perfume I bought for five euros.
On me I don’t smell much of bellini or red berries but vanilla and sandalwood. I don’t mind at all, I still like it. I’d say this is a true find!
lelik357 – :
Surprisingly very beautiful scent, not overly sweet. I get tired of it real easy so I use it once in a blue moon but still enjoy it. Sadly, I cant detect notes or define scents. It smells exotic to me and reminds me of cool Greek summer nights by the beach.
Cons: doesnt last long, not enough projection,kinda flat.
stolyaroff.sergey – :
I like this one quite a bit. It smells related to Play it Sexy, but this one has the vanilla toned way down, and is more “sparkly”. I can smell the fruits mixed with amber, with vanilla at the base. Just like Play it Sexy, this one is also a warm, sweet, inviting scent, not too sophisticated, but smells really good.
cort_one – :
I saw this at Marshalls for $6.99 per one Oz. I thought it was a good idea to buy it, after I read some reviews about it in here. I thought the price was very good. The perfume is not a great quality one but it is also not $6.99 worth. It smells familiar, soft spicy, sexy and young. I really don’t care that it is a Playboy perfume as long as it does not smell like “stripper”….Though I have no idea how a stripper smells like. 😛 …I think this is good for all seasons, but I think winter and fall is best. I like it very much.
jaja777 – :
This is a mellow scent that opens up with a dazzling Bellini cocktail( yay peachy scent!). There’s also the presence of fruits, mild whiffs of vanilla and a dab of musk. Spicy, fruity, musky and sweet.
Smells very delicate, feminine, but also innocently seductive.
It lasts around 3-4 hours on skin and 8 hours on clothes/hair.
Price: S$17.90 for 1.7 oz (50ml). This means it’s an affordable perfume to spritz away on a daily basis.
yarik-86 – :
I like this scent alot. It reminds me of something I already have, but it smells so good that I don’t care!
Update: Just realized it reminds me of XOXO Heartbeat. Since its discontinued, this is good news!
scarcanurcege – :
i own the deodorant version which smells exactly like the perfume as i tested it out in the store. i thought i liked it in the store and since the price was quiet cheap i thought it was a bargain. i really dont like this one at all and dont know what i was thinking!
in the opening i get a straight up sugary lemon note (which might be the bellini), which made me very nauseous, and vanilla throughout. the dry down is a lot nicer and softer and i get hints of floral and fruity notes. i can barely get past the opening so this scent is not worth it for me. its nothing special, reminds me of the impulse deodorants. not impressed but i didnt expect much from it.
xru844InsuffBooni – :
A very nice fragrance. I was very surprised how much I liked it. It is an inexpensive fragrance and really quite well done considering. Longevity is poor but for the price you can afford to spritz it often.
vladbodzin – :
I purchased this, not thinking I would like it, in the store after testing it out. Boy, what a pleasant surprise! This is one of my favorite of the Playboy scents. It works very well with my chemistry and I cannot wait to try out the others. Cute bottle!
ivano – :
I ended up finding and purchasing all three Playboy perfumes on a whim while looking for other perfumes online. I figured I would choose the one I liked best and give the other two to my mom and sister. When I first received the perfumes I could smell them without even opening the boxes. The alcohol was very strong. When I took them out and smelled them directly I wasn’t happy, all I got from all the scents was an incredible amount of musky alcohol. But I decided I’d give these perfumes the benefit of the doubt and try wearing each one for a day. Boy was that a great idea! After you get through the (rather extreme) alcohol, they are actually really nice. I couldn’t believe it, after about ten minutes of wearing Play It Spicy I was in love. It fades to an incredibly sweet, sexy, and unique smell. On my skin it sort of smells like sweet black cherries with just a hint of musk. The other two I wasn’t too crazy about but they weren’t bad at all and it was the same for them too, you won’t smell anything good until the die down on either perfume but in my opinion it’s really worth it. I love wearing this perfume to bed, it only takes about three sprays and the scent stays in my sheets for days, both me and my handsome fiance absolutely love that. This perfume will last about two hours on my skin but it lasts all day in my clothes. I know this perfume has some bad reviews but it’s different for everyone and for some reason it has served me extremely well. This is one of the few perfumes I own that has the ability to make me feel genuinely sexy. I will definitely rebuy this one when I run out.
Plus, how could I not love the sexy bottle? So happy that they put the bunny ears as the topper, very feminine.
GotFoovahof – :
For me it smelled like nina’s middle notes, but softer. And lasts an hour.
Stefens – :
i have one of the play it ones i think it is this one. It smells bad, if u try it in store, but if u put it on your skin it will give u a sweet-floral-fruity smell. yes it is a littlebit spicy. not really sweet one (like chocolovers by aqualina). but i like it.
alexeyey – :
It’s pretty cheap, I kinda like it, much better than play it lovely and play it sexy. Doesnt last too long but the dry down is lovely!
agace – :
This one is amazing! I never thought it would smell so nice! The drydown is weak but it is the best part by far – sweet, sugary, fruity, floral and oriental. I can’t stop sniffing my wrist, the scent really does bound anyone. A winner in my opinion. Plus the bottle is really cute!
poppersy – :
I hve al 3 in the set, and this one to me is my favorite. It’s a sweet fruity floral that is very pretty and inoffensive..in the dry down. I was a little grossed out when I first tried this out on my skin:alcohol and bug spray. Blech.
But, like any scent addict, I gave it a chance. It’s very girly, and great for summer. Not the most original frag, but nice. Good for someone who is trying to build their collection while saving some money. I got the whole set for a whopping $10 after Christmas.
alexfom046 – :
I was very disappointed when I bought this perfume. I loved the deodorant and I wanted to buy the perfume as well. So I went to the shop and bought the biggest bottle they had. When I sprayed it the first time, it was way sweeter than the deo. Although it is a nice scent, I would love it to be more spicy.
igy525speagoessenda – :
This perfume is classy, vibrant, playful, sexy and warm without being overwheming. The lasting power is average(about 2 to 4 hours) but it’s worth it because this scent smells expensive and it’s a nice warm scent that you can where at work, school, date, shopping,day and night:)
altai26 – :
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT . . . youthful, vibrant and playful. It’s spicy and fruity greeting is out of this world! However, the fragrance diminishes quickly, on me, at least. If it’s staying power had a bit more teeth to it, this would possibly be one of my signatures.
uraauto – :
I agree with MellyHelly that from all of the playboy scents, Play it Spicy & Play it Lovely are the best. I just bought this fragrance today and I’m pretty much satisfied. It’s freaking cheap & although it doesn’t stay longer than 1 hour, still it’s a great buy for everyday perfume. On my skin it smells woody with a hint of fruitiness-berry fruits. Quite generic,but still very nice for everyday office wear.
Raigrawwrobre – :
This, to me, smells pretty much identical to Burberry Brit… but without the unpleasant heavy musk that Brit seems to leave me with. This is everything I love about about a perfume, however it’s almost a tad too sweet for me.
ROKI – :
Play it spicy! I didn’t expect it, but it is good! Sweet, sexy, spicy and sultry!
moto-minsk.by – :
This one is the best Playboy for women.
I like The orangey smell mixed with soft spicy sweetness.
I have two bottles and I find I go off to my vanity to just smell it often 🙂
Very nice IMO
sprinter_man – :
The smell of this perfume is gorgeous 😀
Wisa4910 – :
Out of all the Playboy Play it Spicy and Play it Lovely are the best ones IMO even if different.
I could wear this in a mood, but it also smells very spicy-generic, not refined at all and cheap like many parfum deospray you find at drugstores.
Not stinky, but nothing special.
I think it could match teenagers tastes for a sexier scent to wear to go out, but not for me.
The bottle is cute!
Agapelkos – :
I like this Perfume, It’s the best one from the Playboy Perfume Collection. It’s a little strong scent even if its fruity and woody but it still smells nice and for the price its a good deal. You can find this Perfume at Walmart for 9$.
This Perfume I Recommend to use it at Night.
Scent: 4/5
Bottle: 3/5
Price: 5/5
ffy094intitytek – :
I agree with someone who said this smells like amor amor I find that too. It also reminds me on the drydown of Pink Happiness little secrets from Revlon and a little of Flowerbomb. I do like it. I have been using these because I got the three in a pack half price. The lovely one reminds me of Antonio Banderas blue perfume. I have that and evertime I spray it I keep thinking it reminds me of something and that is it. I like Lovely and Spicey but Sexy just smells to me like a lighter version of Spicey. I will have to keep testing. They do last on me I don’t find they fade so that for me is a huge plus.
VoV.Cool – :
I don’t like most of the Playboy scents either. I have to agree with most reviewers here who describe them as cheap and quickly fading. Maybe nice for teenagers but that’s about it. I’m not too fond of things with the Playboy sign on it anyway. Today it might be trendy, but I guess I’m the wrong generation for that.
This one smells like warm spices or like Fanta – just whatever you imagine 🙂 It starts with a blasts but then fades away quickly.
vvnazaroff – :
I really like this. It’s very feminine and pretty and suitable for every occasion. I don’t have to think about it, I just spray it. It is a very pleasant smell, kind of mysterious, softly sweet and beautiful. And it was very cheap and I really like it!
RedNox – :
this perfume along with the other ones are more suited for teenagers.This one is sweet but not too sweet and a bit spicy but not too much. nothing spectacular.You can sent the red berries and the bellini at first and the vanilla note stays all along.lasts long too.It reminds me of c-thru Ruby which i wore in high school 😀
mjc549Unlogrere – :
Slightly sweet, spicy, feminine and sexy! Doesn’t have the best longevity but great for the price!
YannieLee73 – :
Initially I loved this scent. But after several applications I began to dislike it. It’s too… I don’t know… shallow? Annoying? And rough maybe, hard to describe. Anyway, it turned out to be a big disappointment for me.
Maysis – :
I bought the gift set that included Play It Lovely, Sexy, and Spicy 1oz each after Christmas this year because it was on clearance for 1/2 price. The bottles are cute and I thought I would try them out. I admit, I didn’t think I would love any of them when I bought them, but hoped they would be nice enough to wear when doing daily things like running to the store ect.. The Lovely was exactly what I expected. The Sexy scent is unfortunately not one I can wear. The Spicy however, was incredible! I was so surprised. It is very sexy and sensual.. Sweet, spicy, with a nice deep vanilla amber base. It is very unique and interesting.. I have gotten several compliments, the only problem is that when asked what I am wearing, I feel a little silly admitting that it is Playboy :p Some people have a slightly inacurate and judgmental idea of those who would wear a perfume by them..
tgbpljk – :
I can see why this is getting criticisms but I actually dont mind it! I don’t believe that it smells cheap but yes it smells common, like lots of other perfumes. But you know what I have a huge compliment for it – I sprayed it about 5 hrs ago and I can still smell it! Pretty good for such a low cost fragrance. I wore it when I went shopping today and a woman stopped me to ask what I was wearing and said it smelt so nice. I think one of the other ones I think it is Play it sexy smells pretty good to but the play it lovely one was a bit too ordinary. Overall, a good everyday perfume and great for ladies on a budget.
aarwuxbbwd – :
I don’t get any spices here.
At the beginning smells awfully cheap, like hundreads of drugstore scents. The worst of the trio.
But the very drydown reminded me a bit of XS pour elle by Paco Rabanne – the original one. I was so surprised!
The strip was lying on my table. After 24 hours when I forgot about it I was working on computer and started to wonder what was that nice smell around…I discovered it was Play it Spicy. At this stage, best of the trio.
