Avon Luck La Vie

Happy to say, another wonderful smelling fragrance from Avon. I love this one so much more than the first Luck. This fragrance is strong enough to last several hours on my skin and all day on my clothes. When I wear it to bed at night there is no fake plastic smells in the morning. How strange that I would not try it because I disliked the first Luck so much, I just would not chance Luck La Vie. I am so glad Avon put it on sale and I finally gave it a try. It is so bright and refreshing without being over-powering. It has a sweetness to it without being too candy like. I just ordered another bottle for myself. I do wish Avon would make larger bottles of some of their really great scents. The 1.7 oz. bottles are just too small to last me that long when I love a fragrance.

This is just fun and pretty! To me this smells like strawberry lemonade with marshmallows. Dry down is marshmallow with just a hint of strawberry. Sweetness-wise, in my opinion, this is right there at the upper limit of what is enjoyable for a perfume. For instance, if you were to compare it to a strawberry-whipped-cream scented body mist I own: the sugary body mist smells absolutely amazing for the first five minutes, but after 30 minutes of the body mist the smell is sort of “too much” and nausea-inducing. With this perfume, that doesn’t happen to me. I think the citrus in Luck La Vie pulls it back from the edge of being too-sweet, so you can fully enjoy wearing it for hours.

Lovely--from initial icing-sugar strawberry pastry sweetness (with a dash of sharp lime) to an oddly whispery yet deep cedar-based bloom. I'm not generally a lover of sugary scents, but this one has such a nice clear, clarifying sharp bite under the strawberry sugar that it's wonderful. It really is both a pick-me-up (clears my mind) and gets consistent compliments from others. Decent lasting shower, sillage is close to the body (3 feet) which is ideal in my opinion. Really enjoying this in our heat wave in Toronto!

Ganhei em 2019 como presente de 15 anos e esse perfume me encanta! Tenho sensibilidade para perfumes doces, geram enxaqueca e crise alérgica. É um perfume doce, mas suave. Fixa muito bem na pele e nas roupas, mas não é um perfume escandaloso. Discreto e marcante.l, não encontro nenhum outro que substitua.

Strawberries and cream, lovely, light, spring fragrance, lily-of-the-valley, mildly fresh and sweet, only lasts about three hours though. Cute box and bottle, young vibe. I'm wearing this a lot at the moment. I also have Daisy Eau So Fresh and I don't find it similar to this though, unlike others.

I'm catching whiffs and huffing my wrist! Reminds me of Idole Aura. I really like it! What a nice surprise from a modern Avon offering. Luck La Vie and Velvet are both winners for me!

Edit:I like it more and more. The drydown reminds me of Celine Dion's first frag. Not overly sweet, after a while it becomes woodier, and less girly.

This is not Miss Dior copy. Sweet, creamy strawberry. Not too complicated, but good.

I absolutely loved this. Can't believe it was discontinued.

I won't contradict popular vote, I really like this as well! I am not quite as enthused as many others, but you can't go wrong with this. I have another Avon perfume, Simply Because. I find these very similar. It might be nothing more than the cedar in both. I love cedar! But it's fairly safe to say, if you love one, you'll love the other also. A trained, well bred nose will not agree. But to me, while not being born identical twins, they are only nine months apart with the same features. They will be mistaken for twins often. Luck la Vie will probably be the chosen one. It is for me, but only because the cedar is a bit more appealing...the strawberry keeps it crisp. Simply Because is almost too much sweetness, trying to stand in front of the cedar every whiff. I don't like my cedar messed with! This certainly isn't a "favorite" of mine from Avon, but it's a fun scent to have! The cap is a bit undesirable...not a lot to grasp. I hope it loosens just enough to ease the task. The bottle is really cute though! All in all, I would encourage anyone to get this on sale. For myself, I wouldn't pay full price. On sale, I'd purchase a second time, if I didn't have too many scents already. I love Avon and support them as much as I can. To lose Avon would be tragic. It would be like losing the Sears Wish Book at Christmas time. Sad, very sad. So by all means, treat yourself to this little dandy. Gift it to a young girl, AND her mom. They'll match! :-)

(Disclosure: Avon Rep) I see I'm not the only person who sees the resemblance to Avon's Simply Because, which is discontinued in the UK. Simply Because had good longevity for the price so it's a bit disappointing that Luck La Vie is at least twice the price for what I find to be an identical product. Luck La Vie's price still makes it a very affordable perfume in general, it just seems like a perfume was re-packaged and made more expensive. The packaging isn't my taste, but I always take the caps off perfumes anyway. I enjoy sweet, fresh scents, but find Luck La Vie to become sickly after liking it at first. It isn't a scent I want to smell for hours on end.

Been trying the sample i have of Luck La Vie, and my sample of Luck, (which perfume i already have). Luck original - think cream bruleê with berries...sillage and longevity is pretty good. Luck La Vie - strawberry cheesecake / strawberry salad and a bit of cream...not too creamy. Longevity and sillage a tad poorer, compared. La Vie smells somewhat like something from Versace...like Bright crystal edt maybe? Smells expensive. Just wish it lasted longer. Also reminds me of Christina Aguilera perfumes, but better smelling. If only it lasted longer...

A big fluffy marshmallow with strawberries and a slightly green edge, a hint of jasmine and other florals. I was a little wary of the lily of the valley, as it's my least favorite floral, but it doesn't turn too sharp in this fragrance. It just keeps the sweetness of strawberry and marshmallow at an enjoyable level, so the scent doesn't turn cloying. This is a very springtimey perfume. Simple, sweet, a little fresh, girly and bright. Not groundbreaking, but not too boring either, and really cute. One of the better Avons I tried.

i read here that LLV is fresh fruity BUT sweet , so i was hesitated to get it for hot summer here in Egypt , and once i sprayed it on my wrist , i felt like um smelling a very expensive , luxurious classy sweet perfume , and it's fresh at the same time due to the REAL FRESH CUT STRAWBERRIES , so classy youth vibe , i felt like um happy young woman who have luck in her side and i felt pretty, this is perfect .

I`m surprised to read some reviews saying this one is sweet. Actually to me it is very fresh, especially if you compare it one to one to the original Luck perfume. In fact after a while that freshness has a sprinkle of bitterness in it, too. That must be the cedar speaking. I can see how this can be pleasant day perfume for many but fresh perfumes are not my cup of tea, and fresh with bitter even less so.

AVON U.S. launched this in C.14... just in time for Summer!....LUCK La Vie was composed by Master Perfumer Pierre Negrin who has composed fragrances for Houses such as AMOUAGE, Calvin Klein, Jo Malone, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren and Many More... DETAILED Notes: TOP: Mirabelle Sparkling Mandarin Mara Strawberry Middle: Lily of the Valley Linden Blossom Jasmine Sambac Base: Marshmallow Peach Skin Cedarwood

It's fruity to begin with, and reminded me of Parma Violet sweets as the floral note began appearing. And then the base notes come through on this perfume so well: cedar wood, peach and marshmallow - the inside of a peach flavoured marshmallow toasting on a fire. It smells expensive and very well blended. I like to wear it in Autumn to slowly let go of summer.

Strawberry shampoo is a pretty spot on assessment. It isn’t what I was expecting but I really love the strawberry so much! Can’t wait to use this for an extended period and see if the marshmallow creamy note comes out. Hopefully it will be my favorite scent in the early spring!

Trying this now, it is lovely. More citrusy and fresher than the original Luck. I still love original Luck a tad more, as it has greater depth and more character, somehow. But i might purchase this as well soon, its good.

Edited review: I like this one a lot! It's a sweet strawberry with a clean shampoo vibe (I like shampoo vibes in my perfumes). Great for a professional atmosphere...not offensive, not cloying, very nice and pretty.
