Avon Passion

I ordered this because I had never seen star fruit used in perfume before. It grows abundantly in my country and I detest it. It's a crunchy, tart, very citric and watery, mostly sour fruit. It doesn't exactly smell like anything, in my opinion, but it looks pretty sliced up in fruit salads. Anyway, I don't 'smell' any star fruit in the opening but the perfume is gorgeous, just gorgeous. I get a lot of jasmine and sexy musk and bourbon vanilla. Bourbon vanilla, must have an element of chocolate in it because I swear I smell chocolate. The vanilla is deep, rich and sultry and brings to mind images of languid pools of melted chocolate. This is a sexy gourmand if there is such a category. I can't stop smelling myself. Longevity and silage are excellent. Oh, and the bottle is heavy and quite glamorous. The deep red color suits this perfume perfectly. Quite beautiful to look at. I really, really like this one.

Avon PASSION Is a Gorgeous Fragrance and one of AVON'S Best, Created By Perfumer DAVID APEL, The Juice is a Rich Decadent Vanilla with a Tropical feel to it, The Starfruit Opening is Sweet and mouth watering which then begins to move into the Beautiful Jasmin which is Smooth and Creamy, But The Dry Down is My Favorite part with The HEADY Deep Madagascar Vanilla Plus a touch of Musk making it SEXY and Glamourous, Avon Passion is Housed in an Impressive Heavy Garnet Red Bottle that You could put in Macy's and it could Definitely compete with most of the fragrances that are being sold there for TRIPLE The Price!...But Lucky for Us it's Very Affordable.

At $36 , this is expensive for Avon. They went with a heavier , pretty bottle compared to most of the other ones. So it looks nice on display. The smell is out of this world . I get creamy fruit.Carambola. No clue what that is . I like it though. The bourbon vanilla is out of this world. I don't smell musk or the Jasmine on my skin at all. Passion is super sweet and creamy. Sexy and comfortable at the same time. It is very grown and mature but any age could wear it. I have been wearing it all day and I still smell it. Sillage , I am unsure about , moderate maybe ? I am loving this perfume. It will work best in fall and winter I think .

I really enjoy this scent. Like some others though, it last only a few hours and I need to spray again to get the full effect. It is a very ladylike scent and is easy to wear. It is not so overpowering as to bother any one who may be allergic to perfumes, IMO. I do love the container. It is heavy and a darker red which protects the perfume from damaging light, and the cap is especially a bonus to the beauty of this bottle. It is a keeper and a great addition to my perfume wardrobe.

I am typically a one spray type of person. I like to be able to smell it on myself by not have other people notice my perfume. However, with this, even if I spray it 10x, I can barely smell it on myself after 10 minutes. I really love it, but the value for the money is not good. If I wore this every day, a bottle would only last a month.
