Fragrance Reviews by rickie

I wore this for awhile, even tho I am a floral person, I found it to be really nice and spicy! Even tho I am a floral person at heart, I love the smell of cherry tobacco in a pipe or the smell of a tobacco shop at the mall. mmmmmm

carl999, I think if you like it, you should wear it. Me...I don't like this on me, but strangely enough, I like some of the other orientals, especially Imari, by Avon. I just wish they would make this in a strong perfume. I like Cinnabar, its ok.

FROZEN APPLE? what is that?? I agree with lavenderose.
I searched frags with Tuberose because I wanted to see which ones pop up. I have already reviewed Fracas, which I use to wear in the early 70's. What has happened to Fracas????? Burning rubber is what I smell. Well, back to Paris, Brittany, etc. I guess the exception would be David Beckham, that smelled pretty good, but I haven't worn it, so I dont know.

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.

This is being sold under Avon. The bottle is really pretty, so I bought it. Yuck...to me it smelled like Liz by Liz Claibourne. I didnt wear it, so I hope I am not judging too soon. I read the reviews on the Avon.com website and so many people are loving this one.

well, at first, I thought it was very similar to Poison. But, when I put Poison on, Juicy Couture smells much better! It doesnt have that grape juice in it, like Poison does. Anyway, the bottle is really cute, and it isnt too sweet or fruity and best of all, it lasts along time on me.

After reading the reviews for this fragrance, and I had seen the red box, I decided to try it. When I first sprayed it, I thought "oh no" but immediately it turned a different direction and became something else. I really like it. Yea, I will be buying this again.

Ilove reading the reviews more than writing them. I think I am going to go out and buy a bottle of Emeraude. I too, can smell a fragrance and it will remind me of a place or event that happened. That is the most wonderful thing about colognes, etc. I cant imagine myself never wearing a scent! There are people out there that dont were smell. How boring is that!

I have to agree with Chaelaran1008. Whatever is in this fragrance is potent and wierd. I would never wear this.

I use to wear this daily for about 10 years. I had a younger person tell me I smelt like her Granny. (I guess she wore it too) While it is floral and very nice, I just got tired of shelling out the dough, when there is so many nice ones out there that dont cost an arm & a leg.

Avon. They make and discontinue so fast I can hardly keep up. I didnt see the list of fragrances on the last page, I didnt think Pearls & Lace was listed. Anyway, heres another one that I fell for. Avon made it ~1983-84. I fell in love with it, smells soooo good. I dont think it lasts long enough, but I never cared. I always had a bottle. Its floral, but I dont know whats in it. I guess I will always lean more towards Avon than any other company. I have paid alot for other scents then end up using it for air freshner.

I can never smell this enough! I dont wear it so I cant comment in that area. I do smell it, every chance I get. This is good!

I really love this one. Some Mens colognes are so sharp and piney that they make me sick. I think its a softer mens fragrance that you can wear during the day or evening. Well, thats the nice thing about fragrance, on some people its not good, & on others it is. My son always wore this and it mixed well with his chemistry.

I agree, this seems to definately be a fall-winter fragrance. I do like it, but it is a heavy fragrance. I use to wear it alot in the early 80's.

I bought a bottle of this and I did use the whole thing. I liked it but I couldnt smell it after a while. I guess thats why I kept touching up.

I wore this in the early 70s. It is sweet, but there is something about it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a flowery perfume.

My Dad always wore this, and I guess thats why I always have a bottle in my collection. I think it smells wonderful. I didnt realize they had changed the formula.....but I do agree...if you use the same product for years, you get tired of it and some days you cant even smell it anymore. I have had that happen. So, I guess its good to switch for awhile so you can get the smell back. But anyway, I like Old Spice.

This is another one that I liked on others, but not on me.

I dont really know if Rose is in this perfume, but when I would use it, I thought I could smell it.(slightly) I had the spray, lotion, dusting powder, bath gel. Anything they made that I could get my hands on. I thought the bottle was pretty too. I have an empty one, that I will probably always keep.

Avon still makes this and I am glad. I dont think its a strong smelling Oriental, and thats probably good for me. I am a floral person. Yeah, this smells really good.

I have owned this one and it does smell really good.

I dont pick up the Lemon in this and I am glad. I have loved this for ages too. It smells soft and feminine.

This smells like it was made for men. I dont like this much at all.

Here's another one that is no longer available. This is soft and powdery. I still have some of this and its really nice. This is good if you dont want your fragrance to enter the room before you do.

I do like this one. I think it must have a Magnolia smell to it, cause I have been asked if I had on Magnolia when I wear it. It is strong, so I put it on when I need a lasting fragrance.

The first time I smelled this stuff was around 1962-1963. The bottle was empty, but it still had the aroma. Talk about a good cologne! When you first spray it on, til it settles on your skin, it smells wonderful. This has always been one my favorites, and I have tried alot. You get compliments too. Avon, bring em back.

this smells so feminine. I have emailed Avon about bringing back the old fragrances, they are the best.
