  |  I'm sorry that I'm not able to be more specific about this perfume, but here goes nothing...Usually I have no problems with perfumes from Avon, but this one has to be the worst that I've come across in quite a while. To me, it smells like Rave Hairspray gone rotten (if it's even possible for hairspray to rot). I haven't worn it, and I won't wear it. 20 October 2008 |

|  What I think a traditional, mature, restrained perfume should smell like. A warm, rich floral that is not sweet or cloying or heady. Well blended florals with some amber resting on faint sandalwood. Sophisticated and elegant. Strong, good sillage, but not overwhelming. Nice job, Avon!23 August 2008 |

| All my best notes: honey, amber, vanilla, musk, orange blossom. I can't wear many Avons, but I DO like this one. 04 August 2008 |

|  A good one from Avon, which totally threw me, since they usually all suck! But as much as it smelled nice, it had no staying power, nada, nothing at all. My mom got the second bottle and she also liked this. It's soft, amber-musk like on me. Nothing to scream about, but, nice. Boring, plain. But it didn't stink like Avon's others. A good choice if buying from them. 20 April 2008 |

| Top note: A warm, alluring floral with highlights of Sicilian bergamont, Italian mandarin and "living" ylang ylang. Middle note: The rich heart of the fragrance is comprised of French Jasmine, "living" orange flower. peach and Lily of the Valley. Bottom note: The elegant finale is musk, amber and exotic Sandalwood. This info came from Avon. I didnt really like or dislike this when I first tried in 1996. I think I was only wearing one other and refused to be persuaded to try something new. I found a sample of this the other day and found it quite interesting. 09 January 2008 |

| I wore this when I met my husband, too! It was one of my favorite fragrances ever, when it first came out, and I wore it for a few years. I had the deodorant, shower gel, lotion, and all the fun stuff Avon makes for its scents. Avon has definitely changed the formulation of Rare Gold, and not for the better. The original Rare Gold was ambery-warm-sexy-orangeblossomy-vanilla, and was a beautiful fragrance. It's still pretty, but it seems watered down. 23 March 2006 |
