To me, it smells like peonies with a touch of talc; it’s a feminine, discreet scent with a sweet note. It lasts quite well and is worth the price. Perfect for anyone seeking something light with that powdery touch.
It just smells of sweet little fruits, like an old-school Ralph. It doesn’t grab me; there are a thousand copies out there. It’s like those free candies you get at the bank while queuing: boring. Not anymore.
Simply sweet little fruits, similar to Ralph but now outdated. I don’t like it; there are a million copies out there. They’re like the lollipops on the bank counter while you wait in the queue. No more.
It’s floral, featuring pink peony and a hint of raspberry. It resembles Versace Bright Crystal but isn’t quite the same.
I loved it and now I can’t find it in the catalogue, what a shame! I hope you can recommend something similar. It felt super fresh and feminine 🥰.
I fell in love with this perfume and can’t find it in the catalogue anymore; I hope you can recommend something similar. It felt super fresh and feminine 🥰.
I followed the good reviews and expected something amazing, but it was nothing like that. It smells like an eight- or ten-year-old’s perfume. I don’t want to be a pain, it’s not that it’s bad, but don’t buy it blindly; it smells different on every skin. I sprayed it on my clothes and still didn’t like it. It’s too artificial. I have a very cheap one similar to Luminata that disappointed me just as much: the bottle gives an image of elegance, but it’s for a birthday party. One of my least favourites. Most of them have turned out well, but this and Treselle were a fiasco. Scent 5/10, trail 4/10, longevity 2/10.
I went for it based on the good reviews and expected something fantastic, but it was nothing like that. It smells like a department store perfume for an 8 or 10-year-old girl. It’s not that it doesn’t smell nice, but don’t buy blindly: it smells different on every skin. I sprayed it on clothes and still didn’t like it; it’s too artificial. I have one at RE MIL that’s super cheap and smells the same as the Luminata; I was disappointed by the bottle and the chain, which give an elegant image, but it’s really for girls’ birthdays. It was a total disappointment, just like the Treselle. Scent 5/10, Trail 4/10, Longevity 2/10.
From Avon and one of my favourites: a blend of soft wood with fruity floral. On my skin, it smells delicate, clean and refined. Every time I wear it, men and women ask and even write down the name; everyone loves it. The only drawback is that it doesn’t last: in mild weather a maximum of 6 hours, and not even 4 in the heat. Greetings from Guatemala.
An Avon favourite… a blend of soft wood with floral-fruity notes. On my skin, it smells soft, delicate, clean and refined. Every time I wear it, men and women ask for the name and even write it down; it seems everyone loves it. The downside is it doesn’t last long: a maximum of six hours on mild days, and less than four in the heat. Best wishes from Guatemala.
Previously, perfumes from this brand were my weakness; I loved them, but I noticed almost all shared the same dry-down. This was no exception, but after several years and with a more trained nose, I tried it again and it’s a good simple, fresh fruity floral fragrance. It has little projection but is very pleasant: at first you sense the sweetness of the pear and camellia, then a fleeting yet potent raspberry, and finally a very light, skin-close semi-vanilla woody touch. In my opinion, it’s highly overrated by the brand.
I used to love perfumes from this brand, but noticed they all ended up smelling the same. This wasn’t an exception, but with time and a more trained nose, I tried it again and it’s actually good: floral, fruity, simple and fresh. Low projection but very pleasant. At first, you sense the sweetness of pear and camellia, then a fleeting yet potent raspberry, and finally a very light semi-vanilled wood. For me… hugely overrated by the brand.
I bought it blind and didn’t like it. It’s pure floral; I barely sense the fruity notes, sometimes it smells more like an acidic than a sweet pear. It sounds synthetic and strident. But watch out, it’s not a bad perfume: it has an enormous trail and lasts quite a while.
August 2018: a lovely floral perfume where peony takes centre stage, with fruity touches of pear and a hint of raspberry. Clean, slightly powdery and with that typical metallic rose note, very little sweetness. The base is very soft wood. I loved the opening and heart, but the dry-down smells like ‘shampoo’ (similar to Dior’s J’Adore), which I dislike; it’s sharp up close. The materials and composition are of good quality. The fact that Maurice Roucel created it is a guarantee. It lasts over 12 hours on my skin and the trail is moderate but noticeable. If you like scents like J’Adore, Ralph Lauren Romance, Carolina Herrera 212, Avon Pur Blanca, Estée Lauder Pleasures, Arden 5th Avenue or clean fruity florals, give it a try. It’s not my style but it’s very well made. Best wishes.
It reminds me of Tommy Girl (the red and blue ones) but more intense. It’s super long-lasting and has a considerable trail, as I’ve sensed it on several women, though it does project at a distance. Among the Avon perfumes I sell, it doesn’t resemble any I’ve encountered so far, and I have quite a few.
Is it a soft woody scent? The Avon catalogue lists it as floral woody… what else does it smell like?
At first it’s citrusy and fruity, then a clean floral emerges. It smells fresh and lasts like a bath. On my skin, it held for 7 or 8 hours. It’s a sweet floral, nothing gourmand. The trail is moderate. I’m considering it for work and will see how it performs in heat or cold.
On first spray, it smells of fruity citrus, followed by a very clean floral. It’s fresh with a long-lasting bath-like endurance. On my skin, it lasts about 7 or 8 hours. It’s a sweet floral, nothing gourmand. The trail is moderate. I’m thinking of wearing it to work and will see how it behaves on hot or cold days.
