Timless is divine. If you appreciate Femme by Rochas but you think the leather and woody notes are to strong to wear, i think you will love the smoothness of timeless. Is as powdery and citrus as Chanel N5, MUY ELEGANTE. And I agree with the idea that this smell like Madame Rochas, but in a more soft version. So cheap and So good!! If you like the classics you must try Timeless..

Despite it's title I don't know how this has lasted so long in the Avon catalogue. It reminds me of rusty metal and is very overpowering. On a plus side a little goes a long way. Beware though if you are prone to headaches. I like a lot of strong, heady fragrances however I don't find this one particularly feminine.

A very nice classical chypre-floral.Good "old" smell.It is rather a sharp opening with aldehydes and peach scent that growning to a warm floral-patchouli heart.Iris and roses are the flowers that i smell the most.It stays deep and warm scent as base notes appearing.Woody powdery and lasting.I like it!

Took me a while to get used to this...from the bottle all I could smell was wet tree bark...not so bad once sprayed on the skin, a warm old fashioned scent

a very ambery-incensey scent that i think would work better as a home fragrance than one for personal use- essence of autumn, you can almost see the falling leaves

This reminds me of Shalimar, only lots cheaper- checked the notes in Shalimar and contains the same Bergamot, orris, opopnax and vanilla. Very pretty and very feminine in an old fashioned way and IMO the same drydown as the more expensive stuff.

I have worn this frag since school, and love it today as much as I did then. It smells very like Miss Dior, and longevity is better. Very elegant and feminine despite the patchouli notes. Considering the price tag, I am amazed that more people don't wear this. I feel people discount this as it is not 'cool' to wear Avon, or maybe the snob element prevents people from using a mere Avon frag. Shame really as this stands up amongst the best of em.

I really like it b/c it is not sweet. Androgenic chypre yes, slight gardenia top which quickly dissapears into a soapy and powdery base that retains a trace flowery scent which is never sweet but is very pleasant. Much better frag than ones thrice as expensive.
