I remember this one back in the late 70s early 80s. My friend's mother introduced this to me, I can't remember if she sold Avon or she was helping a friend who sold Avon, but she was always bringing the brochures over to our house to show my mother and talk her into a purchase or two. Barb was sure I would love this and she was right I did. She went so far as getting this for me as a christmas gift. I rememeber it being a lovely slightly sharp floral, though I don't remember much musk to it. I felt so grown up and sophisticated when I wore this. I can almost conjure up in my mind how it smelled and it makes me think of this kind lady who treated me just like I was one of her own.

I have a vintage 70s bottle which has been stored in the original box. This is a gorgeous floral cool iris powder scent with peppery carnation and aldehydes in the opening. It starts out quite sour with a licoricey coriander seed bite but once it settles its a glorious vintage masterpiece. Mine is a 15ml 'light perfume' strength so possibly little stronger than the original cologne perhaps? I find it a little similar to Windsong or L'air du Temps at first but I would describe it as more of along the lines of Oscar but with cinnamon instead of the basil note. Just scrumptious!

I got the 7,5 ml perfume for christmas from my auntie... its the vintage bottle from 77-80 ... such a high quality...still an oldstyle beauty!!!! Wood, carnation, coriander, cinnamon..jasmin... lady like... classy... LOVE from LOUVE

For vintage lovers and explorers, this is a Beautiful find. Woody, clean aldehydes, tiny bit of carnation spice, a blooming orchid, a beautiful cedar rose. Blissfully Not gourmand-like, thank goodness. Very inviting.

How strange. I really used to like this in the 80s. A reviewer below says it's heavy on the carnation but I couldn't smell any at all, I wouldn't have been able to stand it otherwise. It's nice to see it here.
