Cold climate in Argentina and I absolutely crave it. Thanks to this, I realised how much I love warm, spiced fragrances. It has been discontinued for years, but Avon has suddenly brought back the deodorant for some reason; it will surely run out, but I hope it signals they’re restocking the bottle.
I tried it when it launched in ’97 and honestly, I couldn’t bear it; I swapped it for my sister for an Obsession lotion that took my breath away. It was very long-lasting with a great trail, but it just didn’t suit my nose. It became hugely popular and the whole air smelled of Millennia.
What a special scent! The first spray feels exquisite, but once it dries, the lingering scent is even better. Watch out, I apply very few sprays as it is very potent. For the price, it is an incredible perfume.

Still available in Argentina. It smells lovely, but I wish it lasted longer. I was disappointed by the longevity; it lasts a few hours and then vanishes. It leaves no trace on skin or clothes. What a pity because the scent is beautiful, like flowers soaked in wild honey with spices. Perhaps better for winter; in summer, it lasts nothing.
It is still available in Argentina. It tastes rich, but I was disappointed by the longevity; I expected more. It vanishes in a couple of hours without leaving a trace on skin or clothes. What a pity because the aroma is beautiful, like flowers soaked in wild honey with spices. Perhaps it is better for winter; in summer, it lasts nothing.
When it launched, I tried it online and loved it. I didn’t buy it then, but I managed to get it now and it seems a lovely perfume, sweet with a touch of spice that gives a unique sensation on the skin. I cannot distinguish which flower remains spiced after drying.
I had zero expectations and was pleasantly surprised. It smells warm and spiced with a powdery floral hint that makes it unique. I have nothing like it. I love how long it lasts; I recommend applying it to the nape of the neck so it doesn’t overwhelm you or give you a headache. It’s like a bouquet of dried flowers with cinnamon and clove twigs. It reminds me exactly of that.
I had zero expectations and I was blown away: it is warm and spiced but with a powdery floral touch that makes it unique. I have nothing similar; it fixes itself very much; I recommend applying it to the nape of the neck so it doesn’t overwhelm your head. It smells like bunches of dried flowers with cinnamon and clove twigs.
This spiced and sweet bomb from Avon is hard to define. Before I felt it was stronger or perhaps I was very small; maybe they reformulated it. I love it on fresh days because it warms me up. In the dry-down it smells like rice pudding (sweet, creamy, vanilla, even though it is not in the notes). It has an air of nutmeg, sandalwood and cardamom that lasts hours, softening. At the end, close to the skin, it smells like sweet potato with lots of vanilla. I still find it in the Avon leaflet in Argentina.
I loved it; it is delicious! Very sweet, spiced, warm, intense and floral, super feminine. It fits the same line as my favourite Far Away from Avon: classics, potent and powdery. It is not a trendy gourmand, it is a sweet floral, absolutely rich. In Argentina it is available at a good price. I recommend it to those who love sweetness but shy away from bakery-style perfumes; be careful with sprays as it is potent and can be overwhelming. It is more mature than adolescent, formal and seductive, very versatile. Ideal for night dates or the cold of autumn/winter here. I would not use it in summer. It is an Avon jewel.
I loved it; it smells delicious. Very sweet, spiced, warm, intense, floral, and feminine. It fits in the same line as Far Away (my favourite Avon scent, along with Imari Elixir); they aren’t identical but share a style: classic, potent, sweet, spiced, and powdery. Millenia has a powdery note, though less so than Far Away. It’s not a trendy gourmand sweet; it’s floral and simply exquisite. In Argentina, it’s available at a good price, very economical. I recommend it to all women who love sweet and powdery fragrances and want to move away from typical bakery-smelling scents. Don’t apply too many sprays; its potency can be overwhelming. It’s more mature than youthful; I adore its formal and seductive touch, making it very versatile. I’d wear just a few sprays for a night out; it’s feminine and alluring. With the fresh/cold weather starting in Argentina, it’s perfect for autumn and winter. I wouldn’t use it in spring (except perhaps at the very beginning when it’s still cool) or summer; I simply wouldn’t tolerate it in the heat. Apart from that, it’s wonderful and I’d buy it again. If you have the chance, try it (it’s not for blind buying and not for everyone), but for me, it’s an Avon gem.
It is deep, mysterious and very feminine. At first the spices dominate, then a sweetness remains with bergamot and special sandalwood. I have nothing similar. For daily wear I find it heavy; better for winters or special events with moderation. It cost me to use it as I thought it was very serious; perhaps people over 30 would love it. It is a warm, spiced floral, with depth, seriousness and a soapy hint.
Replying to mithos: for me it was always a softer version of Givenchy’s Organza, perhaps due to the nutmeg. Here in Argentina I haven’t seen it for years. It is a different and very particular scent.
Luxury perfume; the spices are absolutely bold. Just a warning: if you overdo it, it gives you a headache. Perfect for cold weather.
In my opinion, it smells somewhat undefined and not particularly feminine. I don’t hate it, but it doesn’t win my heart either. It lasted five hours on my skin. By the way, it’s easily available here in Uruguay.
In my opinion, it has an undefined scent, nothing feminine. I’m not sure how to describe it, but it’s one of those perfumes I neither like nor dislike. The longevity on my skin was five hours. One detail: it’s easily available in Uruguay.
Does anyone know which current perfume this resembles? It hasn’t been sold for years and I can’t find anything quite like it.
Lovely, sweet, and sensual scent; the musk and wood give it that special touch. It lasted over four hours on skin and six on clothes. Great value for what you get. Recommended for winter or outdoors. Be careful with the amount; too much can be overpowering for others. If you’re looking for something sweet, woody, and affordable, this is for you. Suitable for girls aged 20 and above.
