Aromadisiac for Her

Aromadisiac gives me a delightful wallop of honeyed vanilla amber for hours that doesn't give up. I had stopped by an Avon vendor at a local flea market to chat about fragrances. I was commenting on the older and vintage Avons and my love of them when she suddenly pulled this burgundy purplish bottle out called Aromadisiac. She told me it was unlike her regular Avon perfumes and her last bottle. She said after listening to my preferences and love of perfume, she knew the newer frags really weren't my style, but she had a feeling this one just might hit the spot. How right she was! Delicious animalic amber warms the spices of vanilla, ginger, tonka bean and pink pepper while a hint of creamy sandalwood softens the fragrance. All of this adds together to make this EdT a musky Oriental that is soft, inviting, cuddly and fireplace toasty. It absolutely reminds me of Elizabeth Ardens NYC, but with better longevity. Eight hours after spritzing, I still detected the warmth of the amber on my skin. Wonderful cool weather scent to wear. Nice minimalistic bottle, easy to manuever, good price point. Unfortunately, discontinued but some vendors may have it available yet.

Whew! That's quite a burst of pink pepper to start with! It's smoky and a bit peculiar.. You can just tell that it's not going to be for everyone, and it's immediately apparent why this scent is so polarizing. But it is most definitely unique! And personally, I find it absolutely intriguing! The spice subsides a bit with time, at least enough to make room for the warm amber & jasmine to start shining through. It also smells quite fruity to me (more-so than the tangerine alone can account for). The ginger is a perfect addition to that compelling spiciness! Complex, provocative, unusual.

I scratched it off the book and loved it . Quite tangy. I finally got it today all happy I tried it and beurrrrrrchhhh, way too heavy , it seems (what the saleslady) told me is that the version on the book is for him. In order to obtain the similar (not same ) smell I had to wash my arms to get rid of the top notes but the smell is not as "tangy" as I had expected. I am trying to get her to exchange it. I am very disappointed. The worst maybe is that I had bought two cheap perfumes just before picking up the aromadisiac and they were a whole lot better Anyone had this problem?

I keep a roller of this precious perfume in my drawer. It has the last few drops of Aromadisiac and i treasure them. I sniff it in the autumn months and long to have it back. I wonder why Avon discontinues their unique autumn scents: Aromadisiac, Surrender and Mesmerize 😔. They tick all my favorite accords for the season. sweet and spicy, warm and ambery, slightly mysterious and oriental. I detect an unlisted anise/ licorice note in Aromadisiac that I find lovely. I truly miss wearing it.

I simply adore this fragrance! It smells expensive and is very complex. I suppose it is something about the type of vanilla used, but I get a very strong anise note in this perfume. First spray is a burst of citrusy fruit, then the pink pepper kicks into action. There is also a trace of almond if you really focus on the note. Jasmine adds an animalic note. The licorice like vanilla is prevalent throughout. It's spicy, sweet, very oriental and super sexy!

Aromadisiac For Her is the most delicious scent! I truly fell in love with it the moment I received it as a gift from my man. I also love the bottle. To me, the burgundy color represents the perfume perfectly. I could sit and smell myself all day wearing this scent. The only complaint I have is it doesn't last as long as I would like but it is priced low enough were I can afford to refresh it through out the day. I think I may have found a new favorite!

This is the scent I wore when my husband fell in love with me. Have tried others, but he still likes this one best. It is also one of the few fragrances thatlasts more than 2 hours on me. Sad to hear they discontinued it. I will enenjoy the ones I have left. The spicy sweet fragrance is a favorite of mine. Scents I believe are similar to this are Coty Ici, Victoria Secret Noir Tease, and Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck.

This was 'my scent' of my late teens and early 20s. I loved the spicy sweet notes. I remember it being more spicy (peppercorn) than sweet but it still had this air of sophisticated femininity that just made me wear it almost all the time, Day and Night in Fall and Winter and Nights in hotter months. I wish Avon still had this and Avon was still available in my country! I will be forever trying to find a dupe!

I purchased a long time ago bt never bothered using it, so I gave it a try afew days ago, I sprayed 3times on my night shirt, very nice a bit spicy, I wuldnt say masculine, its sexy and long lasting I could still smell it in the morning on my top when I woke up, its a quality perfume frm avon give it a go, n. Its well worth the price, avon is cheap not all perfumes are cheap

I absolutely love this fragrance! I usually cannot tolerate using one perfume all the time, but this one made me change my mind! Not only that - ever since I started wearing this fragrance- people often commented that I smell good or that they love my perfume . To think it is quite cost effective too! I've made it my signature fragrance!

now that i own this fragrance i can say that really suits my skin.on the top note e feel sweet incense and berries,after that it is a lithe bit flowery but that flowery note doesnt stand on me and this is better for me. the base note is fantastic i feel almond, sweet incense and chocolate.very sweet and mounthwatering

I adore this. aclean yet spicy and warm and hint of vanilla. Quite a seductive fragrance, you pick up the different notes each time you smell it. Very long lasting and always get compliments when wearing it. Certainly not a light gragrance but the heaviness it what makes it so seductive and moorish.

I used to wear this all the time back when it was readily available from Avon. Such a shame it’s discontinued. Blasts of pink pepper and amber. I’ve managed to source a few bottles from eBay over the years but it’s becoming increasingly priced now for a relatively cheap perfume.

I really like this peppery aromatic/resinous scent. It would pass as unisex but it is sweet even with the pepper. You can just about make out the floral notes and fruit notes. If it had more depth and lasted then I would love it in my collection. Perfect to wear on chilly days.

just wonderful and unique without patchouli that would have made it similar to many celeb scents; pink pepper made me sneeze, some ginger, heliotrope, almond, orange blossom, tonka, musk and sandalwood; sweet, nutty balsamic floral with a spicy quality

i've tested this fragrance on the scented page,and it's an oriental gorgeus fragrance,i'll definetly buy it.it is a litle bit similar to escada magnetism but this version of avon is better .

Love this! Its unique and it last moderately long. Its does have a strong pepper smell at first but dosn't last long.

so sweet but not nauseating kinda caramel fragrance fantastic harmony betweeen ingredients I love it

AROMADISIAC is spicy oriental / gourmand scent. When I first tried it, I felt like I opened my spice cabinet and let the richness of all kinds of spices to wrap around me. I felt ginger, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, hint of vanilla, perhaps even cardamom. All of these were wrapped in dessert kind of sweetness. Like other reviews said, it did remind me of Christmas baking like gingerbread, Christmas pudding and spicy cakes. The heart notes also contain hot dose of spices. Heliotrope is the only floral I can find here. I think heliotrope was a perfect choice for this fragrance as it goes so wonderfully with the hotness of spices. Macaroons add gourmand delicious note. I also feel a hint of chocolate. I love how those ingredients blend together. It is hot, spicy and delicious. In the base notes, I get tonka beans and amber with a hint of leather. The spices are much more subtle in the end giving the dry-down an interesting twist. I find that the ingredients listed by guest_debob below are much closer to what I smell than the ingredients listed on fragrantica.

Really good perfume. Reminds me of Deep Red without blood orange, Hypnotic Poison without the vanilla, Black XS without the cocoa and for some reason reminds me of Angel, I'm certain it may have patchouli in somewhere in the composition. Its a red perfume, hot, spicy, perfect for clubbing and mutch more complex than it looks like. Not cheap at all, very simillar with the perfumes that I mentioned. Its very sweet and spicy (what is perfect for my taste) its definatly a night perfume, it has the licorice note of lolita lempicka too what is good because usually this perfumes are really vanilla like, but Aromadisiac isnt... For red and black perfume fans this is pretty good with an awsome price. Completly worted. Not a master piece, but a good alternative for black xs and deep red lovers. I will certainly buy it all over again ;) I was not expecting something like this from Avon, this is very dark side, seductive and somewhat vampiric/femme fatalish in a modern way...Im quite impressed :) Sillage: Average Staying Power: Very good, last all day 7/10

I have a bottle of this stuff and I have to say that I don't exactly smell any of the notes listed on this page besides amber. More than anything, I definitely smell a sweeter black-jelly bean/black-licorice scent (but it's way less offensive than it sounds). My mother is an Avon rep, so I get tons of fragrance samples, and they're all pretty humdrum to me, so I was excited to find something so unique from them. I had to get it. I really like this perfume. I wouldn't say it lasts like crazy, however the fade is beautiful. It becomes more dark but also very airy throughout the day.

On first application, I thought I was going to hate this...strong vanilla scent and I HATE vanilla! However, with several more prudent attempts at application (you need very little to get the effect), I got a dry down of warm gingerbread,amber and a touch of anise..rather delicious. Don't get the licorice at all...but my mum tried it and said it smelled of burned plastic on her skin! (Strange as the men's version smelled like that on me, but she loves the smell on her....very odd!)

I got this from a friend's perfume collection after she died. I don't think I would have tried it otherwise. This is a scent that somehow smells cold. It reminds me of black licorice. Very much a Victoria's Secret level fragrance. Also very much a cold weather scent, but I'm insane so I wear it in the summer too. One spray is enough, otherwise it might be nausea inducing to more sensitive people.

I went to test it having in my mind it would smell like LL as other members stated in their posts. So, after spraying it and for the first 5/7 minutes, all I got was acetone/nail polish remover smell..but then it turned to be pretty similar to Bvlgari Blv femme: powdery, soft and cosy. Sillage is so so but staying power is very good. Aromadisiac is budget friendly and good alternative to Blv...

I just received this and it's my first day wearing it. So far it's lasted all morning and shows no signs of fading. It's mostly sweet and syrupy, a little fruity. I can definitely smell the amber but no licorice or black jellybeans. It's a bit rich and heavy so has the potential to be overapplied. But it does smell delish and I find myself sniffing my wrists. Not bad.

I've ordered this, should be here soon. From the scratch & sniff it smelled quite different to the usual Avon perfumes, i could smell a spicy pepperiness which is quite unusual. I tend to 'collect' quite a few different Olfactive Groups, my favs being musk & oriental, but this will be a nice addition as i don't have many spicy scents.

This reminds me of my favorite discontinued perfume, L'Or Torrente. and also similar to Louis Feraud. Really more spicy than floral.It has a bit of that "pencil shavings" smell that I love and get from those two scents, but have no idea where it comes from. Wish this lasted longer..2 hours top.

not my cup of tea... mature, warm, exotic oriental notes.... well, nice combination, I'll try it when I'm older maybe.. sophisticated and bold, this is attractive to me, but wouldn't suit my style.

I like it but it confused me at first is really spicy(pepper) but hten it become gourmand,cake smell(like FANTASY,FANCY etc.),the lasting power is really impressive for a EDT,i recomend it.;)

Red is not the color, definitely. It's very much like strawberries. It must have been PINK. It's more fruity or even more gourmand than oriental.

As a floral notes lover I don't find it floral it's more spicy than sweet too

A surprisingly nice, spicy perfume. Almost masculine-smelling

Please do feel free to call me snobbish if you want, but if I met someone who's never heard the expression "cheapo", I would explain it by referring to Aromadisiac. Not bad at all, but I found it smelling cheap. I actually used it as an air freshener.

I wanted to love this. For me the anise/licorice scent ruins what would otherwise be a great scent. I see lots of reviews mention that note so I suspect it isn't just my body chemistry. This is however a real departure I feel from the run of the mill Avon EDP and EDT. And it seems they discontinue the good ones like Victoria Secret does. If you love this gourmand scent you'd probably better stock up because they are liable to stop making it. It does seem to wear on me a long while. Probably because I keep smelling that odd licorice smell I don't like.

this begins with strong pink pepper and amber. i thought i detected some patchouli too. this reminds me of something else i've tried but i cannot place it. there's something else here too, citrus, so i guess it's the tangerine and orange blossom. overall, this is just very spicy. a spicy orangey patchouli on the drydown-linear and doesn't change much if it all.

Smelled good on the page, so I went ahead and ordered a bottle on sale. Definitely returning this one! It's very strong, with good sillage and durability. Unfortunatly, on my skin, all I smell is licorice jelly beans (as Avonfreak noticed too), mixed with plastic, and a hint of something rotten. No flowers at all. Maybe I got a bad bottle?

I thought I'd try this based on reviews; smells like Hypnotic Poison or Lolita Lempicka type... not on me! Hypnotic Poison smells like exotic rootbeer and I suppose you could say it smells peppery like Lolita Lempicka Si. This is a weird one but interesting, on me it smells like rice flower and pink pepper. It totally surprised me.

I don't think I have ever smelled perfume like this. Burnt sugar and chestnuts. Some spice and autumn like feel. Too gourmandy for my taste. It softens to creamy jasmine half a way thru, so its bearable. It reminds me of brown sugar scrub with more intensity. If you are into sweet gourmand scents then this is your forte.

Its not listed anywhere in the notes but I get a strong scent of liquorice, which is odd. I have been trying to make up my mind with this whether I like it or not, I guess its one of those things I need to be in the right mood to enjoy? It reminds me of Amor Amor with added anise. It doesn't really work for me.

finally i found one piece of this perfume,, and i thought from the first impression that i will love it sooo much...but after a while i get rid of it! it's horrible spicy can't stand this mixture at all although i lovee the strong scents but i dislike this oneeeeeeee NOT FOR ME at least.

So wanted to like this but it just smells like candy store liquorice mixed with leather. Strangely masculine and not at all attractive - my other half hated it and I've worn the body spray occasionally as its much lighter and somehow suits my skin better but never worn the EDP again!

I wish I could love this but it doesn't work on my skin. I end up with cheap cinnamon suntan lotion with a dash of fruit, and yet again my skin produces a tuberose note from a perfume that doesn't list tuberose. It might be useful for layering, maybe with some rose.

For me this smells exactly like a dupe of Britney Spears Hidden Fantasy. It's exactly the same! So now I own two perfumes that smell like eachother. Ugh.

My mom had it and she said it is ok, but nothing special. Not long lasting at all. It stays maybe 2 h and is gone. I smell pink pepper a lot.

I was expecting something sweet and ambery..but all I got was savoury rice and soap! :/ I don't like this one at all!

It is extremely sweet. If you like Gourmands like Pink Sugar, this is for you. Otherwise: run :-)

Wasnt keen on this one atal, and after a while smelt kind of soapy?

I don't like it...it's so sweet, the male version smells better.

I finally realized, it isn't that I don't like florals... It's that I gravitate to Oriental florals. Many perfumes that I won and or love, are Oriental florals. Anyway, this is a fragrance that a number of people didn't like, yet liked it immensely when I wore it. My skin tends to be warmer than most (hot-blooded Latina, that I am. Lol), though. When I wear this, it's a musky amber with a light sweetness to it, and the vanilla comes in a lot stronger at the very end (for me, anyway). This fragrance is strong--so use a light hand. The longevity is good, too. Slightly sweet, mostly spice--but not harsh. This makes a great signature scent. When my sister smelled it, she said it definitely smelled like it fit my personality. This isn't a "teen scent," but it isn't "old," either. Definitely... A bit of class or sophistication tied into it, I think. And it most smells much more expensive than it is. I would advise sampling first, as I do with ALL fragrances, because you never know how a fragrance will affect you. This perfume gives my mother a headache, even though she likes the smell. It may be overkill, but I REALLY want to experiment by layering this with my Gaultier^2.

I have to admit that I got this one just because of the Lolita Lempicka comparison! Money's tight, Lolita Lempicka EDP is hard to source in Ireland and the Avon fragrances have been working rather well for me lately so I thought I'd give this a try. This totally opens like Lolita Lempicka with that strong licorice note; however, the licorice isn't made with cane sugar but corn syrup because it's sweeter in a cheaper way. There is vanilla, musk and I could swear some violet but that could just be my mind convinced that the violet is there because it smells so close to Lolita Lempicka. This does lack the complexity of Lolita Lempicka but is still quite good. So good, I'm buying a few bottles for the inevitable day that Avon discontinues this. Yes, this is clearly inspired by Lolita Lempicka but it is more like the inspired versions of designer fragrances one finds at Zara than at the euro store. It is solid and commendable and can stand on its own but if you like Lolita Lempicka you will immediately recognise how this fails but also how it succeeds, which is why you'll probably buy a bottle. Or two.
