Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
I’d give anything to find this gem again.
Reviewing a sample my sister left me when she was a reseller. It opens with citrus-floral notes, fresh fougère and grapefruit or bitter orange, then softens into woods warmed by musk. It suits summer perfectly.
I’m surprised by how few reviews there are; I suppose it was discontinued so quickly that few people ever knew it. I’m not an expert; most of these were catalogue scents, especially from Avon. I bought it on impulse and it became my favourite of all the Avon, other catalogue and high-end perfumes I’ve smelled in Liverpool XD. I bought the last True Glow in 2009; once I found out it was discontinued, I only wore it for special occasions, and 11 years later I still have it, with half left. I detect citrus, incense, red apple, wood and musk; it was unisex but leaned feminine. I’m not good at describing perfumes, but I’ll just say it smelled very sexy, made me feel secure, and many men said it smelled delicious without me asking, coming closer on their own. Sometimes I think it made me look prettier than I actually am XD. Read the English and Russian reviews on Fragrantica and you’ll know what I mean. 😉
It’s unisex; when I bought it, a gay friend used it and it suited him as a masculine scent. I stopped wearing it because I don’t like others using my perfume, not out of selfishness. I wore it again recently; it’s sober, citrusy and woody.
I’m giving it another chance; it doesn’t disgust me as much as I thought. I’ve promised it to a friend who adores it. It smells of wood with an oriental edge, then warms up, becoming exotic. It has lasting sillage, lasts forever on clothes and smells unisex, though more on the feminine side. It’s discontinued, so I reiterate that it will go to better hands, to one of the thousands who see this as a gem.
