Ballroom Beauty

Another lovely woody raspberry totally ruined by too much amber!:( The ozonic notes comes up to rescue the situation but even this fresh ozon will not save the day - amber takes over!:( Ozon disappears within a minute or so. I guess it was the general tendency of the previous decade - to sweeten up naturally sweet fruit... Ok, it's not a "sugar-amber" disaster but in the headnotes the disaster seems imminent. In the heart and base notes the scent luckily settles down, bitter florals come to the surface and what we're left with is an elegant, deep and sweet but not sickening floral-fruity. The drydown after an hour is gorgeous - it reminds me of Oriflame SAGA - only this one is softer, warmer and cozier. An intriguing combination, really worth trying:)

I was given this and it’s a sparkly, youthful, fruity scent of joy, which requires no deep thought to wear. It’s fresh, bright raspberry, then settles down into a fruit musk. It’s not groundbreaking and it won’t change your life, but it might bring an hour or two of happiness when you wear it.

Definitely an Avon fragrance, but lush all the same. Makes me feel a little more grown up and elegant and is very pleasant to wear, which is all I ask for from an Avon frag.

It's very sweet, fruity, girly, powdery. Doesn't suit me but it's a good representation of its type of fragrance. Has that definite Avon note, slight but noticeable. High marks for the bottle and the idea of a Christmas bauble and a glittery ballroom sphere. At least it shows some attempt at creativity.

Sweet and tangy, fruit. I feel like I've been enveloped by a pink elephant. It isn't a terrible pink elephant, but definitely not something I'd like to carry around or have others remember about me. Will save it for those moments of pretending to be a teenager.
