Wink by Avon

At uni it was super discreet and suited me perfectly; very cheap and soft, it blended in with my friends’ perfumes. You’d have to be right up against them to notice it. 🙊🤣 And yes, you had to reapply. It lasted about 2 to 4 hours.

I used it in my 20s: fruity, cheerful and youthful, it suits my skin perfectly. Now that I’m 39 and have an 11-year-old daughter, we both use it; it’s a pleasant and unobtrusive scent. Being a catalogue and budget option, you can renew it whenever you like. It’s perfect for spring, going to a fair, walking in the garden or to the supermarket: ideal for everyday life without annoying anyone. It smells very much of grapefruit and freesia, a citrus delight. The bottle reminds me of my youth with its pink and purple colours; that faded pink I adore because it lets you see the perfume inside, a juicy amber tone, it seems made by fairies. It’s one of the catalogue perfumes I buy every time I see it.

I first came across this little fragrance in 2005 thanks to my sister who wore it a lot; we were both teenagers but I wasn’t a fan of perfumes so it didn’t matter to me yet I still remember the smell and currently miss it. To me it smelled like sweet juicy grapefruits; it’s very youthful and I see it more as something for a teenager. Although I’m no longer one I’ve been craving it lately. I see it as a versatile all-rounder and that’s what I’m looking for – an all-rounder for hot days plus it’s super cheap. Honestly I don’t recall its trail or longevity but I read it had been discontinued and then came back which is a sign I should buy it before they drop it forever. I hope they haven’t reformulated it badly. You shouldn’t have high expectations with a very cheap catalogue fragrance meaning just what it is though for the price it’s a bargain. Edit: It has arrived and although I remember the smell being slightly different I still like it; I recall it as totally fruity where grapefruit stood out with a sweet touch that could be raspberry now it’s sweet grapefruit but with a floral note. Its longevity and trail on me are moderate and it flatters me a lot especially for girls and teenagers 😬. Edit again: It’s March 2024 and I thought it had already been discontinued (at least in Mexico) as I seemed to read months ago it would be its last appearance or perhaps its last ones I’m not sure but then I didn’t see it again; and yesterday I found out it had appeared in the catalogue again so I restocked this lovely little fragrance 😊😊. It has arrived but it doesn’t smell the same anymore; I think now that Natura bought Avon they reformulated this perfume. Now I sense it’s totally floral; I don’t detect the grapefruit or raspberry that stood out to me in the Wink now it’s just a fresh but faint floral scent with very weak trail and longevity I barely smell it on me and at times…

I can detect the raspberry, and after a while it settles into a sweet note that I really enjoy. I’ve read reviews saying it’s common and nothing special, but to be honest, I’m enjoying it a lot. It doesn’t feel ordinary to me. I don’t own many Avon perfumes, but the latest ones I’ve bought have pleasantly surprised me.

An auntie gifted this to me on my 15th birthday, and it was my companion through my teenage adventures. However, after using it so much, I eventually grew tired of it… I remember it as a fruity, youthful, and fun scent, perfect for young girls.

Natura’s Humour madness. It’s identical!

This smells like a memory, a rich and fruity scent, nothing pretentious and that’s why it’s lovely for its simplicity; I see it as fresher and more youthful, although I don’t like to pigeonhole perfumes. It brings me thousands of memories, I still have it in my collection ♡

Wink accompanied me for years, a fruity perfume through and through. Youthful and cheerful. At the time, people often asked me what fragrance it was. Too good for a standard and cheap line. I loved it until they discontinued it in Argentina. I think it’s now hidden in these fragrances: Colortrend Trendy, Scent Essence – Vibrant Fruity. I smell them very similar, but not identical.

I saw the bottle photo and the scent came back to my mind. I loved it! It was my secondary school perfume, what memories… Sweet, fresh, fun and very cheerful, that was its scent. Do you know if they still sell it?

I love this Avon fragrance, it’s delicious and fresh; the blueberry scent is one of my favourites and the price is super economical, girls. It’s not invasive and you’ll always smell good. A ten for being an Avon product.

I wish I could try this magical perfume again, I used it many years ago but I still remember its delicious fruity and sweet scent, and especially in that era when sweet perfumes weren’t in fashion; definitely Wink was ahead of its time. A delicious fruity, youthful and carefree scent, and as already stated here, it has nothing to envy from other celebrity perfumes or trendy ones. Those who have the opportunity to try it, do so, I hope we can get rid of the prejudices of ‘cheap catalogue perfumes’, because sometimes you can find pleasant surprises where you least expect them.

I used it in my teens: very fruity and fresh, ideal for summer and it lasts quite a while from afternoon to evening. It’s true that newer versions change the scent a bit. In Argentina it hasn’t been in the catalogue for years, so I can’t get it anymore. But it has nothing to envy from cloying celebrity perfumes like Fantasy; it’s of that style, ideal for young girls. Try it and you’ll surely like it.

It’s sweet and fruity, yet soft. If it doesn’t last long, it smells a bit of raspberry caramel; it also has a creamy note. My nana gifted it to me for my birthday, and I bought it later, but over the years it has changed slightly. I use it in the office as a room freshener, and my colleagues say it smells like perfume. My advice: ask the Avon representative for a sample so you can try it and form an opinion. Best wishes!
