Imari Seduction 2015 by Avon

Imari Seduction is a blend of creamy orchid and sour purple fruits, beautiful and seductive, nothing juvenile. It lasts between five and six hours with good projection; excellent value for money in Latin America. It didn’t smell the same to me as its siblings or the Far Away variants, but the Imari family is definitely noticeable. I’m not bothered by wearing it alongside Corset, Classic, and Fantasy; I enjoy them all. It’s versatile for any weather as it isn’t excessively sweet. 10/10. Ideal for lovers of sour accords.

A very rich toiletry water with a fresh, fruity opening that later leaves a sweet, floral touch. The longevity is short, under two hours, which is normal for this type of product, although I hoped it would last an hour or two longer.

I like it, but it doesn’t quite enchant me. On my skin, it smells of honey even though it doesn’t list that note. Of all my Imaris, it’s the one that lasts the least and appeals to me the least; it feels very simple and sweet, with little novelty. I imagined something more complex and sensual given the packaging, but it lacks that mystery I seek. It’s rich and feminine, but it doesn’t drive me wild. I’d wear it on cool days, though at night I’d have to reapply frequently. In summary: it smells good, but I’d wish it fixed better on my skin.

This version has just arrived in Argentina and, reading ‘Seduction’, I ordered it without thinking, believing it would convince me more than Corset. But it didn’t. Again, there’s a lack of sillage, and only the plum is noticeable for the first five minutes, followed by the typical floral of the Imaris, a touch of orchid, and an oriental base. It seems like a mix of notes from other lines: plums from Secret Fantasy Midnight, orchids from Rare Flowers, and a base from Sparkling Attitude. Is it pleasant? Yes. Is it outside the norm? No, it’s versatile for any season (perhaps less so in winter) and sensual without being extravagant. I use it daily for a sexy girl without needing to shout it. Is it sweet? Yes, but it’s not cloying or gourmand. I don’t dislike it, but it’s not my favourite. It’s the third Imari I own and, between this, Corset, and Fantasy, I stick with Fantasy for longevity, sillage, and notes. Would I buy it again? No. It accentuates the seductive attitude of the wearer but doesn’t create it if they don’t have it. Edited after 2 months of daily use: the longevity and sillage are so low that I’ve already used 3/4 of the bottle. I hope to finish it before buying or gifting it to a friend who likes it.

Very rich indeed! It doesn’t smell like a catalogue; it’s hugely enjoyable.

It’s a fairly intense and strong perfume, made for adult women.
