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.

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.

This scent is very much a young, girly-girl little innocent thing that is just too sweet for its own good. It’s a comfortable scent when you feel like smelling like baby girl powder, and it may feel very cozy for a nap or a nice sleep, reminiscent when all things were simpler and happier. But the scent itself can become quite tiresome after a while. The sweetness just grows with the body heat and it may overcome all the other notes sending the baby powder to screaming proportions…thankfully though, after a couple of hours, the scent dies down on the same path that it came over from, the path of the naïve promenade that promises a lot but somehow you feel it’s time to grow up. It’s very big on the nostalgia factor. Cheap too! Beware: it has a lot of aldehydes.

I remember Sweet Honesty! I think every little girl of my generation probably had at least smelled it someone else, if she didn't own it herself. My grandmother gave me a bottle of it one Christmas, the bottle was adorable; in the shape of a gingerbread man. Wish I'd kept it.

I remember loving the perfume, and it smelling rather sweet. As I was allowed to keep the bottle in my posession and apply at will at age 8, it must not have been overpowering in any way.

Lovely scent for a young girl.

My DH loves this one and I like this one. I actually think it's a 3 star; DH is picky. This is a very innocent & classic kind of scent. When did that become bad??? It is a bit spicy as well. It seems to last a long time for the bucks.

Every girl should have this at one point in their life. It's the perfect fragrance for a young woman who wants to try wearing perfume. It's sweet, powdery, and pleasant. This was my very first perfume way back in 7th grade and I loved the way wearing it made me feel. This would be an EXCELLENT stocking stuffer for a young teenage daughter, niece, granddaughter, etc.
