Eau Givrée by Avon, 1981

I used to sell this as an Avon Lady. I've got a sample of it in an Avon demonstration kit. Lavender doesn't suit my skin, either. It wasn't a big seller in my area.

For me it's actually one of my favourites during the dry european summers, which are mostly dry, but in whish often happen repeatedly thunderstorms. Throughout, Eau Givrée never fails to refresh and liften my mind... The citric and lavender notes don't come off harsh and too zesty but uplifting and balanced - and thanks to the musk (which thankfully lacks the *typical-AVON-muskyness*) it receives depth and a powdery based aspect. I have other citrus-themed fragrances,too - but with this I don't have to think if I'm in the mood. Kind of reminds me a bit of TOVA Signature, if memory serves me right.

I remember having this one years ago...it was a disaster, but then lavender has never suited my skin.

thumbs down for this one
