I wore this between 2013 and 2014, when I was around 15. It suited me perfectly, giving off a serious and motivated vibe, and my partner at the time absolutely loved it. I wore it daily, but it stood out more on cold and rainy days. Being an Avon fragrance, don’t expect massive projection, but it held up well enough.
I wore this in my mid-teens (2013-14) and it suited me perfectly: it added seriousness and motivation, and my partner adored it. I wore it daily, but it stood out even more on cold and rainy days. Being an Avon product, it doesn’t have a massive projection, but it holds up well.
It’s sophisticated within the Avon range, but it lasts muuuuch too short a time (perhaps my skin or the ingredients). It’s super linear, with no changes or evolution: it smells exactly the same from start to finish.
This is a sophisticated scent within the Avon range, but its longevity is extremely short (perhaps due to my skin or the ingredients). It’s very linear, with no variations or evolution; it’s exactly what it is and nothing more.
My partner gifted me this one that had been stored away and smelled nothing before I got into perfumes. Today it smells of leather (suede) with citrus and a gentle lavender, with a dry, talc-like touch. I love it for myself: I use it a lot, on clothes and in bursts, and it lasts over six hours.
Economical and fresh. The fact that I never finished the bottle says it all.
It smells nice and is cheap, but the longevity is short. You have to apply it a lot, and I mean a lot.
It starts with that typical 96% alcohol found in Avon men’s fragrances. After ten minutes (or if you light a match, you’ll burn your nose), it smells decent. It’s linear, almost entirely lavender with a hint of suede, but maximally synthetic. It cost ten dollars, ideal for post-shower or casual outings. Good value, though don’t expect much.
Of all the Avon scents, this is one of the most sophisticated; it resembles luxury brands, but it doesn’t last.
