California Anniversary Keepsake White Lilac

There is a fundamental simplicity when it comes to vintage Avon perfume. Top with aldehydes, add a floral note, add a sweet note, and end with a soft wood. White Lilac is no exception, which makes any lengthy prose or analysis very difficult for the reviewer. Simple compositions work best when the ease of wear is being marketed, and it is here that the company soars. Considered largely as commercially pedestrian, Avon is often dismissed as second rate. Yet they consistently provide women wearable fragrances at blue collar prices. Truth be told, and I am whispering, I'd rather wear an Avon aldehyde than an Estee Lauder's - and that's before the staggering price differential! Ingredients listed truly sum the perfume's total. Effortless, cozy and clean!

I purchased this fragrance at a garage sale a few months ago and i'm happy to say it did not disappoint. It has a very pleasant floral scent with gentle woody undertones. Very feminine and dainty, if that's what you're into.

This is the strongest most realistic lilac scent I've ever found. Just opening this bottle is like falling face first into a lilac bush. I'd wear it again, but less is definitely more with this one.
