Perceive (2000)
by Avon

This is my very first post on this site ( which I love,btw!) and I cant resist sharing my opinion of this fragrance. I liked the way this smeeled in the bottle. I wore it and all day I smelled eletrical wires burning! I thought my house was on fire or something! The next time I wore it I was in the car for a long drive and I was terrified that my car was about to breakdown.Surely with the smell of burning wires so strong , my car was about to srand me on th ehighway.I pulled over and actually got down under the dash and sniffed to see if I could find where those burning wires were! Third time I wore it I was at home again and iu finakly figured it out that it was this perfume that was reacting with my body chemistry! I went to my husband and said smell me and tell me if you smell electrical wires burning... he said " What the hell... why do you smell like THAT!?" LOL

Fresh, HEAVY white florals and lemon accords which combined can give off a terrible aroma of the janitor's closet. This would work rather nicely if it was in EdT conc but as an EdP, it's too much.

Instant headache! :( It's a floral. Heavy floral, with something like gardenia in it. I usually wait a while and see if a fragrance changes, but in this case, it was a scrubber in under 10 minutes. I tried! But a pounding headache does not make for a good start of the day.

Personally, I don't like this fragrance. It just doesn't work with my body chemistry. It's too light & smells soury on me. I think it's a bit expensive for it's quality as well.

This really smelled awful on me. I didn't understand it and can't explain it. It smelled like cleaning chemicals with my chemistry.
