Attraction

Wow. This scent is so good that the first time I sprayed it, it actually shocked me. I blind bought this. Thought I wrote a review on it already a year or two ago, wore it tonight, hopped on here to see what I wrote, and realized that I never reviewed it. So Avon for me...I personally think they're an underrated fragrance house. They may not be Tom Ford...but...FOR the price point...they have a LOT of wins for me. And what I love about Avon is that unlike Victoria Secret & Juicy Couture who have 75% of their fragrances smelling extremely similar if not identical...Avon releases a scent for everybody, no matter your taste consists of. They have sweet scents, gourmands, spicy scents, breezy aquatics, citrus scents, straight up floral scents, fruity florals, etc. They make everything. And of course not all of them are gonna be a love for you. But I do have a problem with fragrance snobs who write off perfume houses based on price or based on a handful of bad experiences. Avon makes a LOT of winners. And "Attraction," is one of them. This scent is so sweet. That's the first thing you will notice. But it smells woody as well. It's got this sweet, but warm vibe going on. Right out of the gate the vanilla and praline jump out at you which makes it so sweet but it's creamy as well. NOT cloying. The amber and musk are there to add a second dimension and I do smell those fruity notes in the backround. I get absolutely no pepper note. This is so beautiful. For you ladies out there...take it from a man...this would be the ULTIMATE date perfume. It's sweet but doesn't smell like a school girl. It's got this sexy teasing aroma. It'll make any man wanna be come in closer. TRUST ME. A smooth, woody, milky, uber sweet scent that will make people wanna follow your trail. This is beautiful. I have the men's "Attraction" as well but this one is most definitely superior. Although the men's version is a great scent as well. Longevity - 4-5 hours but will last 8-12 hours on clothing. Projection - About 2 feet. If you drench yourself in it...you may get 3 feet. Overall Score - 9/10. One of my favorite scents. Not one of my favorite Avon scents...one of my favorite scents in my 300-400 bottle collection, period. Absolute shame on whoever decided to discontinue this scent. I bought three back-up bottles on Ebay so that I will have this beautiful scent for years to come. If it isn't implied...I voted above with a "love."

This is classified as a floral woody musk but the praline note pushes this into soft gourmand territory on me. It reminds me of something else I own--something high end, but I can't quite place it. The first blast is the standard Avon 'hairspray' note (Avonade if you will), but that fades very quickly. My body amplifies basenotes, so I get a lot of praline, musk and amber in this one, but it is not heavy--there is a freshness to this that makes it wearable year round. Once again, though, a perfect one for this chilly Autumn morning. The blackberry in the opening is delicious and juicy, and that note carries for a good 3 hours, mixing with the vanilla and praline to create a warm cozy dessert. I don't think you have to like gourmands to like this one, necessarily, but I do think you have to be ok with some sweet notes. This is very well-blended and smells much more expensive than it is. Labdanum is also one of my favorite notes and I do detect it here, giving a nice resinous ambery edge. This is not too heavy...I get 4+ hours from 2-3 sprays before it becomes a skin scent, which makes it office wearable. More sprays would amp it into sexy date night territory. The lotion and shower gel that match this scent are also really lovely.

I don't feel like writing a proper review, but enough said: I bought this perfume shortly before Christmas as a gift to myself :P And I've been using it since. It's just lovely. Light, elegant, slightly oriental to me. Fruity notes are detectable but very delicate. They add freshness to overally soft and warm, woody fragrance (musk and amber, my god, what a luxurious coctail this is!) Best blind buy ever. If you want a feeling of a magical winter in an enchanted forest (not a proper review, I told you :P )- that's your go-to perfume. Edit: also- longevity isn't bad, at least on my skin, and definitely on clothes.

for the first time, one of my perfumes is still on my skin after more than 12 hours, usually after 3 hours everything is gone leaving no trace, i was really surprised to feel this in the morning changed but still there, really nice sweet but not disturbing. I bought this together with rare gold which i like much more but i'm afraid the second one won't pass the three hours test :-/. Both of them are very nice, i don't know why i ignored avon for such a long time, but some of them are really worthy for the quality and price

Krissi ,it's so sad that you experienced it...I would ask if you got an old bottle, but being a new release it's out of question. How could be a gloriously spakling fume so disgusting on you? On my skin it needs 15 minutes to shine and is blooming into good sillage. Overall I'm not keen on the tipical avon base notes, but this beauty really makes a difference. Maybe skins and weather or I don't know....
