Maxima by Avon

Bought it for the bottle and the immortelle note. Initially, it smells floral, but then it fades on my skin, becoming duller and almost imperceptible. I sense it more as an eau de toilette, perhaps due to my skin type. I loved the creative concept, the ancient inspiration, and the amphora shape with the laurel leaf cap.

I liked it. I thought that such a sweet fruit note would be cloying for me, as I usually prefer citrus scents, but it surprised me. It’s the first sweet fragrance I’ve seen myself wearing daily. It’s very wearable if you enjoy fruity and sweet aromas. It’s neither excessively formal nor teenage; it’s all-rounder for spring, autumn, and winter during the day, without too much sensuality or potency for the evening. Longevity is moderate, like most Avon perfumes that last around 4-5 hours.

Very pleasant; I hesitated to buy it because I don’t like immortelle, but to my surprise, it’s not very noticeable. It smells nice, nothing original but well put together. It bears a strong resemblance to Good Girl by Carolina Herrera; it’s not a clone but follows the same line. I prefer Máxima as Good Girl gives me a headache. Medium longevity, excellent value for the price. Recommend if you like warm, sweet scents. The packaging is very elegant.

A very pleasant fragrance. I had doubts because immortelle isn’t my favourite flower, but what a surprise; it doesn’t feel overpowering and smells lovely. Nothing original or world-beating, but it smells good. The resemblance to Good Girl by CH is quite strong; they aren’t identical clones, but they follow the same line. In fact, I prefer Máxima because Good Girl gives me a headache. Its longevity and projection are average, but for the price, it’s excellent. I recommend it if you like warm, slightly sweet scents. I’m happy with the purchase, and the packaging is very beautiful and elegant.

They gifted it to me and I wasn’t expecting much, but what a surprise. It smells like a good expensive perfume, with a dry-down of jasmine powder and nectarines. Immortelle is a flower I don’t recognise, but it seems very pleasant. If it only has these three notes, that’s wonderful. I’ve really enjoyed it; it’s good, looks good, and is cheap while smelling expensive. We’ll see how it performs on my skin, its dry-down and durability. If it holds up, I’ll buy a few more bottles. Avon hits or misses; sometimes it’s a 10 and sometimes a 0, with no middle ground.

The concept of Máxima is inspired by the plants of immortality from Greek mythology, highlighting immortelle or Helichrysum, the flower of the Sun. It’s a yellow fruity-floral gourmand. I’m not usually a fan of sweet scents, but the notes of Helichrysum made me buy it because it makes me feel as though I’m in the sun on a cold day. To accentuate the honey and tobacco notes of the flower, I use doTerra Helichrysum essential oil and it turns out delicious.

Avon’s Máxima: white floral, sweet and fruity. It projects strongly with peach and white flowers before drying down to vanilla. Ideal for cold weather, elegant for afternoons and evenings, suitable for ages 20 and up. Lasts 2 to 4 hours, smells designer-quality and is well-made by Avon.

Smells of white flowers with a sweet touch like cocoa or vanilla; I don’t detect any peach. The scent is very similar to Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, it’s intense and long-lasting, better suited for evening wear and cold weather.
