Sweet Honesty (1973)
by Avon

An asphyxiating, overly sweet, synthetic musk is all I smell. And then it dries down to that weird cigarette-like signature note Avon puts in a lot of their stuff. Even new, it always smelled "past its prime" to me.

I grew up as a young girl wearing this scent, it brings back wonderful memories. It is powdery clean scent with a hint of soft musk that reminds me of a baby's innocence. It smells alot like baby powder. It is perfect for a younger girl or teenager, but I think older women can wear it too. If you have sensitive skin or do not like overpowering strong perfumes, give this one a try. It is very soft and mild and smells soooooo clean. It is very affordable but unfortunately doesn't last very long. I personally don't wear this out of the house. I only use this fragrance after showering right before I go to sleep. It is very light and very claming (It relaxes me, guess you could say kinda like my aromatherapy). Every time I spray it, it brings out the little girl inside me. Sometimes you just want to go back into childhood, and this will definately take you there.

I found a vintage bottle of this when I moved into my house (and it didn't look like it had ever been used), so I thought I'd try it out. I wasn't too impressed. Although the fragrance is not overpowering or annoying, it smells a lot like baby powder, or maybe dryer sheets. Not really my style.

Sweet, powdery, clean sums this one all up. I liked it better in the bottle than on me because I smelled similar to those Bounce dryer sheets. Not good! I mean, who wants to smell like a laundromat? Good starter scent for little girls, preteens, or those not too keen on wearing strong perfumes. It just smelled too phony to me. I think I'd rather wear that Love's Baby soft or plain baby lotion, powder, etc., than this. Not Avon's worst, but not it's best either. And yes, it has that distinctive Avon odor at the end which, probably, made it smell cheap and phony.

A lovely musky scent with out being over bearing. a great perfume to introduce a girl to the world of fragrence, yet still about to be worn well past the teen years. i've been through numerous bottles!

Good stuff for a young lady, and not at all expensive. My aunt used to wear this stuff when she was in her teens (she's not much older than I), and even one whiff of this scent even today really takes me back to the Seventies.

Some make fun of all Avon fragrances out of sheer snobbishness. I admit that most are rubbish, but there are exceptions, definitely, and this is one of them. Is it Tabac Blond? No. Acier Aluminium? Hardly. Havana Reserva? Hell, no! But it is what it is, and that is a nice, sweet, innocent eau de cologne for young girls.
