Bond Girl 007 Forever

Like those that hated it for it in this perfume's infancy, to those that now love it for it, I would be remiss to not mention how black pepper is a note with a distinct, clear presence, from application onwards as it dries down. Personally, I love it, both on its own and layered with something else, like other woodsy, amber types. It used to part of my rotation of signature scents, for both day and night (and people who came close to me couldn't get enough of it, either!), but now I cling onto the last few drops at the bottom of the bottle like a greedy, sappy drunkard, years and years later. Maybe one day I'll manage to snag a fresh replacement so I can enjoy this scent anew again. Avon fragrances are very nostalgic for me, but even I know that many of them used to have that touch of rubbing alcohol to them. But from what I remember, not this one. Instead, it opens and stays woody, cashmered, and peppery - and that works for me.

Just after a bottle of Bond Girl 007 my sister gave me this perfume. I think she intended that I used this one occasionally because it was supposed to be more as an evening scent?.. I used it as a day perfume and worked brilliantly for that purpose. I loved it.

I Just wanted to add that one of the Notes BLACK Pepper is Not listed in the Official notes here and it's a Key player in the Scent itself!

I had a bottle of this perfume years ago and it wasn't a favorite then. I recently got a few sample vials of this and was anxious to try them out. Putting it on brought a wave of memories, which was cool. Made me feel younger and sexy. I could definitely notice the citrus at first but that died down pretty quickly. Overall, I just smell smoky, sweet woods. No jasmine or fruity notes. It smells nice and sultry, no alcohol smell that is typical of avon perfumes. Probably still not something u would wear often (if at all) just because it's not "me". Very nice though, so it's worth a try!

I could smell distinctly the blackcurrant in this fragrance but it seemed to wear off very quickly and I couldn't really smell anything afterwards. However it was a very humid day so I will have to revisit it as my experience varies to the other reviews and I never write a perfume off quickly.
