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....

I've been waiting for this for a long time and now it's mine. I see every woman here is reminded by different perfume through "Attraction", my vote goes to "Love potion'' by Oriflame. I'm not a good guesser, but my nose detects ginger among the other stuff and probably something soft spicy like cinnamon. Mmmmmm....oh, so feminine. Avon strikes big time with perfumes. Applause!

I absolutely love it. Very long lasting on my skin, none of my perfumes last that long and I have a big collection. Very unusual scent, I just love it. I have never thought that a fragrance from Avon would do such a good job! This is sweet fragrance when you spray it - berries, a bit latter it calms down and becomes a dry, clean ambery sent (if that makes any sense) . 10/10.

Avon Attraction and also Attraction Rush are long lasting, sillage is appropriate for work or anything. They both smell completely different to each other. The bottle is well made and a good quality sprayer with Avon etched on the sprayer. This is a keeper for me and I recommend it , well priced too. You will feel confident that you smell good wearing either of these.

Beside Today this one is the next real hit from Avon. Not tipical Avon smell, God bless! Beautiful, warm, light spicy, a little bit smokey. Like a refreshing, tasetfull cup of spicy tea with a hint of honey in the beginnig of chilly automn. Golden light. Comfort fragrance still sexy. A big hit!!!!! Reminds me of L'Artisan Tea for two or Bvlgari Red tea.

(Disclosure: Avon Rep) A superior Avon perfume. Fruity, warm and a little creamy without being sickly. I get no hit of alcohol when it's first sprayed - I find this to be a common issue with Avon perfumes. This lasts all day on me and I find it to be an excellent under-arm deodorant. The large bottle felt a bit awkward in my small hands.

My signature scent! Longevity is not the best, but the scent it self is like a praline heaven. I prefer this over the Lancome LVEB...they are similar, but Attraction is like LVEB but its working. LVEB is mostly about dirt, earth, alcohol and suffocating patchuli while Attraction is creamy-fruity-sweet scent.

HI,Just thought I'd leave more Detailed fragrance Notes on this Delicious Attraction fragrance that was Composed By Master Perfumer Honorine Blanc TOP: Pear Nectar Tempting Blackberry Pink Pepper MID: Magnetic Musk Accord Black Orchid Night Blooming Jasmine BASE: Addictive Praline Vanilla Amber Rockrose

I love this perfume its very sophisticated summery office about attractive perfume its sweet but subtle sweet time i wear it or layer it with other perfumes i keep being asked anout it its fresh sweet scent always a repurchase i can smell pear and def. Musk and white florals

I used to have this fragrance and every time I wore it I just felt attractive just as the name of this fragrance. Something about it just screams sophisticated, girly yet professional. This is probably one of Avon's best fragrances I cannot stop thinking about it.

I am blown away by how much I love this one. The amber and blackberries just WORK together. Living in the cold climate makes me so glad to have these delicious warm amber and vanilla beauties. Almost makes the frigid Manitoba winters worth it!!!

Absolutely the best $10 I have spent in a very long time!!! This smells absolutely deliciously edible to me, it has praline in it although its not listed here. Total gourmand to me. if you havent tried it, please do, you will not regret it!!

It is sweet but not extremely sweet. Summer fragrance , the pink pepper blends very well with the pear and blackerry in the beginning , it is a tad bit tart and sour but it balances the sweetness. Is a safe buy for everyday use .

well done fragrance .it is modern , warm , sweet amber with hint of black berries . the sweetness is balanced. it feels like it is in the same line as Victoria's secret fragrances. poor project and moderate longevity

This is beautiful but tooooo soft! Smell: Beautiful!!!! 10/10 Sillage: literally 1 inch!!!! :( 1/10 Longevity: on clothing all day 10/10 Longevity: on skin 4 hours 6/10 Avon: more concentration please!!!

I bought this based on reviews (a 0ml spray). I love it, once the sharpness dies down. It is rich, sweet tobacco vanilla which I love. Ill almost certainly be buying a full sized bottle for my collection

This is really nice. I find it lasting longer with well moisturized skin. I'm very pleased as it's not too heavy or another patchouli bomb, very pleasant for the price. Already getting compliments.

One of my Avon favourites that I buy time and time again. Woody, sweet, tobacco flowers. Perfect for day or night during autumn. Smells far more expensive than it is. Love it!

Thank the Lord this is still being made by Avon worldwide! Avon North America discontinued it! Why!? It is simply one of my most beautiful perfumes in my collection!

I have to say that i absolutely love this perfume the smell is absolutely amazing and it's one of my favorite fragrances. On my body lasts pretty long.

Tiene un aroma muy rico y es de los perfumes más duraderos de avon. En su salida puede ser una aroma un poco abrumador pero su secado es delicioso.

Somehow, I get so many compliments with this one. I use the shower gel, body lotion, and the perfume. Very ambery, warm, yet subtle.

This perfume is a confidence Booster. I Can smell blackberries, vanilla and amber. Longevity is about several hours on my skin.

This is my second review. This perfume is my All time favourite. It is perfect for a date, because it is sexy.

Oh yes. Amber for days and sweet musk. It's sophisticated but not stuffy. The sweetness is not overwhelming.

Siento que si te gusta el Irresistible EDP este te va a gustar. Bárbaro para todos los días.

The mix of notes in Attraction is combining to create pure sweet pipe tobacco on me. Love.

FYI Avon is Unfortunately discontinuing Attraction in C.7!

I do detect tobacco notes in here as well. Nice.

Beautiful, sweet and sexy! Love it!

From Avon representative "First to Know" press release this will be available in Campaign 26 (US) or the last order before Xmas! Honorine Blanc is an exquisite perfumer as already shown by her previous work for Avon. I am unfamiliar with Adilson Rato; yet if he is Firmenich and working with Mme. Blanc...I am guardedly optimistic. The preview teaser insert (no smelly page!) lists HER notes as: Top note-tempting blackberries Base note-Vanilla amber And HIS notes as: Top note-ginger root Base note-smoky woods Where you may ask, as I did, are the middle notes? Is this pair "heartless"?? Is this actually a subtle jab at the current state of modern perfumery??! No. (Or IS it?) Avon's single page flyer claims that both scents have a "shared heart" (aaaaaw!!) of MAGNETIC MUSK ACCORD (Avon capitalized that in totality with a decidedly bolder font). Just as the bottles lean onto and balance one another so too... if our intrepid perfumers hit their mark(s); one is (more or less) reasonably led to believe the perfumes will too. Such a feat was attempted (hard to remember I know with so many direct market releases that flash, fizzle, burn *or not* and quickly fade) with Jon Bon Jovi's "Unplugged" fragrant pairing a few Yuletides ago. I was enthralled with the idea of a manscent created around a black dahlia heartnote. Interesting, but ultimately underwhelming due to wan sillage and all too brief longevity, and a rather daring move to use a flower *noir or not* in a male scent that probably never panned out in the US market. Though intriguing enough, and at least a step above its stalemates that year; I bought the whole three piece EDT, hair & body wash and shave balm set with free leatheresque dobb case. It's an all too well known example of "well thought out; but, ultimately, badly implemented". These teasing olfactory briefs, romantic tendencies of backstory and vague note lists tend to make me osmagine something far greater than what is usually presented. Here, we KNOW Avon can "do" musc. Blanc is the grand dame of fruited floriental amber. Gingery opening, magnetic musk heart and smoky woods sound pretty good and I am eager to sniff the work of this new nose from Firmenich. My rep's allowing me to buy these from her, as soon as she receives them. Fingers (and nostrils) crossed... Until then, smell swell & be well! I'm hoping that the upgrade in perfumers will also carry through in the delivery. Many times, Avon has saved their best year's releases for the holidays.

This used to be my signature fragrance for years whilst I was still a perfume noob and only really knew Avon. I like Luck for Her more than this but even now I still sometimes wear this one, it's one that's still so nice that it doesn't get benched. I will say, this is exactly what I wanted Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper to smell sort of similar to. The Pepper is not overdone at all in here and is actually a bit on the sweeter side... it's quite a passionate pepper whereas Kayali SDPP is pure pepper overload and is less sweet than this is. The only reason I'm not rating this a Love is because although this is a staple to my collection, it's never my first choice anymore since branching out of Avon a long time ago and also I recently got a bad whiff of this randomly during wearing it and it sort of smelled a bit like vinegar so I really hope that's not what people smell on me... would make sense how I've never been complimented on it but when I smell it directly on myself it smells great. Another reason why it's not a "Love" is because after it dries down, it's mostly just pepper left except it still thankfully remains somewhat sweet. I'd still definitely describe this as a signature scent and if you don't like pink pepper or pepper notes in perfume, I'd say this is somewhat an exception that you have to try. For reference I own both the original Attraction, Attraction Desire (red bottle), Attraction One (white bottle), Attraction for Him (my fiance's) and I have to say the OGs are definitely where it's at, all the flankers are not great. Overall my 2nd favourite Avon perfume. I have to say when it comes to Avon, their best ones seem to be the fruity ones (Luck for Her, Attraction for Her, Beyond the Moon - all 3 worth it). All the others fall too flat for me with the exception of Rebel & Diva which can sort of contend.

As soon as I smelled the rub on sample in the Avon book, it took me back to the lobby of the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas. They must pipe that tobacco type scent( it's like a pipe tobacco scent, not cigarette smell) through their air vents. This perfume, to me, smells exactly like that scent. I have a couple other perfumes that have that sweet tobacco type smell. I'll probably end up buying this, and hope it does smell like it did in the book. Update: I bought the perfume, and the shower gel, and body lotion. I just sprayed the perfume, and it does indeed smell just like it did from the rub on circle in the Avon book. It definitely has a tobacco/musk smell, and it's lovely! The issue is that it's so light. I think I'll have to really spray, spray, spray to even smell it much on myself. It vaguely reminds me of Victoria's Secret Feathered Musk, which I also find to have a pipe tobacco, sweet scent. I don't get much blackberry, although there is a certain sweetness, so maybe that is what I'm smelling. The bottle is super cool, and modern looking, I just wish it were stronger. This really is lovely though. After wearing it all day, I love it even more. I did refresh it a couple times throughout the day though. The matching lotion is so weak smelling, it's not worth buying. I haven't tried the body wash yet, and hope it's stronger smelling than the anemic, "scented" lotion. Just ran across my bottle of Avon Mirada, and attraction smells like the l'eau version of Mirada. They share that tobacco sweetness, but Attraction is slightly more bright or sparkling.

My review will probably be weird in the sense that I really love how this smells but it has some aspects that I find off-putting. Basically the scent trail is beautiful, but this is one that I don't love if I sniff it directly from my wrist. It starts out smelling a lot like cough syrup, which I don't mind too much, but I know a lot of people dislike. It's got a dark berry, syrupy and slightly medicinal vibe. As it dries down it smells like brown sugar to me and the scent trail is gorgeous. It's fairly strong and long lasting as well. I would probably repurchase to have something nice in the dark berry territory of perfumes. Far Away Rebel is similar but more powdery and vanilla in the dry down. James Bond 007 (2) is also similar but its lighter and it doesnt have the cough syrup vibe. But they layer nicely. Sniffing it directly from my wrist kinda smells like something burning or overly chemically so it's not a scent I have the urge to bring up to my nose and sniff, like when you just can't stop sniffing your skin because it smells so good. No, not with this one. This is one that I can only appreciate the sillage, but ultimately that's fine with me.

I was so looking forward to receiving Attraction for Women, as I scored it for a very low price ($8.50)on Ebay. The top notes were initially fantastic - sweet aldehydes mixed with dark fruits reminiscent to me of a past Avon favorite of mine, long since discountinued call Devotee (from the mid 1980s, yes I'm old). But, no sooner had I enjoyed the top notes they morphed into sickly sweet, sticky (plum?/blackberry?) dark fruits which were overwhelming. This reminded me very much of Avon's Amethyst. I guess this sickly, sticky sweet fruity note is quite popular now because of the positive reviews Attraction (and Amethyst) receive here and on the Avon website. I think I'm old school when it comes to this particular note, which so many hours later, I can still smell on me and on my clothes. It makes me feel 'dirty', like I want to shower and dump the clothes in the hamper to be washed.

Attraction smells like a love child of Viva La Juicy Noir and James Bond 007 for her with an added spicy pear note. The opening is very fruity with intense blackberries, vanilla and a floral background that absolutely reminds me of the VLJ DNA. The amber and praline make it warm and almost caramel-toned. As it dries down, the scent becomes drier and less juicy-fruity. Now it reminds me more of Bond 007. It's a smooth blend of vanilla, berries and musk, and even though it's not listed, there is also something woody that tames the sweetness of the fragrance. I like this, but I already have VLJ Noir and Bond 007 and I like both of them more. Attraction has something too sugary in it that I don't find in the other two. The whole is less than the sum of its part in this case. But it's still one of the nicer Avons I tried and very wearable.

I must agree with Krissi on this - unfortunately after the first 2-3 min this frag becomes almost nonexistent(at least on my skin). To me this is a real pity because otherwise Attraction is a very beautiful fragrance. It's alluring , but in a more gentle and subtle manner. On my skin amber definitely dominates, which I really like, and in the background there is the sweet and juice note of the blackberry. From time to time I can sense the musk, which gives it a warm and sensual feeling. Alas, it's quite weak and again and again I must stick my nose to my wrist to feel anything. That alone makes me quite doubtful if I should purchase it or not...

Firstly, I bought this fragrance during its launch. Now I decided to remember it and bought another bottle. Pepper and blackberry scent. Tartness of pepper and sourness of blackberry make this fragrance. Also I can smell a tasty praline. I'm happy that I don't smell any musk at all. I was afraid of this particular note and its unpredictable behavior. If you're sensible to musk, be free to apply this fragrance, because there is only a hint at this note here. Longevity and sillage are average. I have to reapply during the day, but in any way, it's a nice scent for every occasion!

I wouldn't call it an "animalic" perfume really. YSATIS is typically animalic, Sarah Jessica Parker "Lovely" or Paloma Picasso and the like... OK, delicate musk IS present here, but it's more a woody, vanillic and slightly fruity type of scent. I smell some soft, white peony and tonka, a lot of sandalwood and cane sugar. And a lot of vanilla. It's a more elaborate and not so sweet version of Avon LUCK. The base notes are really similar, but the heart notes are more inviting, mysterious and complex here. I'm thinking of keeping it as my winter perfume.

This is a very pleasant fragrance but not wow. I get blackberries and cream then a musky tabacco flower (think that used to be a body shop perfume) and vanilla. This is fun and easy to wear if a little too light for me. As with other Avon perfumes (apart from far away line) I am struggling with the power, projection and longevity, feels like I could just be wearing an impulse body spray. Probably one I like but will sell on to fill my collection with loves 💗

There's only 3 notes listed on the packaging, so why so many added notes?? Anyways, this scent is actually solid. Juicy blackberry with a hint of vanilla. It comes off a bit synthetic with the first spray, but dries off really nicely. Sillage and longevity is pretty solid on this one so you'll be smelling it pretty much all day. Surprisingly, I've found this to have more vanilla than Sweet Like Candy, but both are pretty similar in comparison.

Nice fruity praline, sweet. A bit synthetic. Moderate siliage, proper longevity. Sometimes reminded me of Bounty chocolate bar smell. The incontestable advantage of this scent is it's originally - it's not a dupe of any other well known fragrance. I had good time with a 10 ml bottle, but it's not my cup of tea, I'm not planning a full bottle purchase.

Warm vanilla. Shortlasting. Low sillage. Pleasant though. I can smell it only that moment when i spray it on myself. After that it's all gone. Not even a trace left...It's pretty similar to a dozen of other avon scents...It's ok, if there's nothing better coming your way...

This is the best perfume I have tried by Avon. It so summery, sweet and juicy. A good composition of floral, fruity and musky notes. I am not bored with it, as I usually tend to be with those cheaper ones. Really good. This could even be repurchased.

My friend have this fragrance It's very nice,warm and beautiful but i think it definitely has rose note in it. Sometimes she sprays it to her hair and everytime she turns her head i get the rose. Idk it may be just the orchid or blackberry

This is a lovely perfume. It smells sophisticated and sexy at the same time. For the price, it is an excellent bargain. It smells like an expensive perfume. Avon did a really good job with this one. I highly recommend it!
