Chic in Black

Reviews here are great! I think just about everyone at any age will like this one. It's a safe everyday type of scent. I don't think it'll bring on any compliments unless someone just notices you have perfume on and is just polite enough to let you know it was worth your time and tell you it smells nice, but a Tony the tiger you smell GRrRrRrRrrrreat you probably won't hear. It's maybe a bit expensive smelling though. I think it's well worth your money and a good choice if your in one of your moods where you HAFTA buy a perfume or you'll just die and you don't have really have the money to just blow. This would be a wise and good choice! One you certainly won't ever regret. In a word, versatile would be it!

All in all a good fragrance. This avon scent is very nice . It smells very sophisticated and alluring. Will buy it soon. Tried a sample from my avon rep and was pleasantly surprised that I liked it.

JUST an FYI to All you C.I.B. lovers....AVON U.S. is bringing this little Beauty Back in late Winter/Early Spring 2016!! UPDATE: It's being Re-launched as it was 1st known...LITTLE BLACK DRESS...My rep material states that it's been Modernized as a Oriental Floral (judging from the scratch and sniff I have, it smells more like the Original 90s Version that we used to sell!) and the Notes Now will be... (Notes Updated 1/4/17) Top: Sparkling Italian Lemon Oil, Baises Rose, Black Plum Essence Mid: Luxurious Jasmine, Peony, Rose Petals Base: Sophisticated Sandalwood, Vanilla Absolute, Musk

Still called Little Black Dress here in the UK. Just bought myself the new look bottle (as above but with UK name). I've now decided I like it but didn't when it first launched in UK 8 years or so ago. I don't know if the formula has been changed slightly, but it seems a whole lot nicer - or maybe it's a fairly sophisticated fragrance that I simply had to "grow into"? It also last longer than most other Avon fragrances. Really glad I gave this one another try!

I do know that Avon has introduced this in America as the new (Little Black Dress) with a new name. I am not familiar with the original Little Black Dress so I can not say if it smells the same. I pick up a lot deep florals right away in this, and a rich musk, followed by a light spiciness. I would lean towards the floral/oriental category for this fragrance. For myself, I find Chic in Black most appropriate for cooler weather.

I really like this perfume. It is a lovely sweet scent with spicy notes (although spice is not part of the notes). It lasts about 3 hours on me. It is a really worthwhile, affordable perfume.

Very mellow, I get pineapple especially -with woods, nice! - the florals are a too shy on me though, I want more of them to come out on my skin...still very pleasant though. An o.k. scent.

A first spray of Chic in Black is Sparkely Sweet floral and then dries down to woods but unfortunuly this doesn't last long but enjoy it what you can And i love the bottle's Design.

Just discovered, purely by accident, that this has a remarkable similarity to Estee Lauder's 'Intuition', which I wore to work the other day!

I agree with Celebrity89, it smells a bit like J’dore but softer. I sprayed this and immediately didn’t like it at all, nor do I like J’dore, although I do like some flankers. This doesn’t give you much detail on the note structure, but there is something in both of these that goes incredibly sour on my chemistry. With this one, I even got a pretty instant headache. However, if you love J’dore, you would definitely like this one as an affordable option. It’s not a true dupe but it’s very similar in my opinion! I wonder if I’d like LBD better, I usually love a floriental, so I’d be curious to try it. As for this version, I like it way more than J’dore. (Headache aside)It’s less in your face and suffocating than I find J’dore and sits a bit closer to the skin. The drydown is way more pleasant to my nose too. Very pretty but not my personal taste. It’s a good affordable fragrance nonetheless. I’ll most likely pass mine on to my mom who likes J’dore.

I owned this one but had to give it away because it just doesn't blend well with my chemistry. :( And I really wanted to like it. The thing is that I would get sample swatches of this and it smelled nice but once I received the real thing via Avon...then...not so nice. But I am happy it made another person's day! Avon has scents at such reasonable prices.

I don't understand the notes above, because in my country Little Black Dress is sold in this bottle (formally it used to have the other bottle with the golden ttop), and I'm sure it is the same liquid in it so it should have the same notes as Little Black Dress has. Anyway, it's a sophisticated, light floriental that unfortunatelly does not last on my skin, however, I really enjoy wearing it and the first minutes are just beautiful. It really is a pity that one need to reapply it during the day. The fragrance itself is soft, floral, slightly spicy and musky, a little sweet with hints of vanilla. An elegant but safe choice for any workplace. If it was more potent I would definetely use it on occassions, too.

For some reason i can never get enough of this fragrance. I think it's the perfect balance of sweetness, fruitiness and floral and it's even a bit woody. When it dries down it does have a powdery smell but i quite like how the various notes become apparent little by little.Also i quite like the simplicity of the bottle, although i wish that the cap would snap down better (for travel). Best thing is that it's long lasting, inexpensive and inoffensive (i've never come across a person that doesn't like this scent). Sillage: 3.5/5 -- 4 hours Lasting power: 4/5 -- 6 hours Overall: 4/5 :-) P.S - i'm so sad it's discontinued :'(

The name Chic In Black is fitting,because this really does smell chic. This is a classy fragrance. This is not a casual,hanging out with your friends kind of fragrance. It's a wear to the office,or being wined and dined on a fancy date kind of fragrance. As this is a less expensive alternative to more expensive fumes,it does smell a little cheap. But for the price,this is a good clone. This is a rather wintery perfume,and I don't see any fruit in this at all. I see this as an floral oriental. The bottle is a square,classic shape,fitting the scent perfectly. Not groundbreaking,but nice.

Chic In Black is elegant, sophisticated and classy. I wear this when I'm feeling grown up. It can be worn on any occasion, day or night. The lasting power and sillage are both good and this smells far more expensive than it is. Chic In White can never compare as this has more depth and is a better fragrance all around. I hate that Avon discontinued this but I can't say I'm surprised. They would rather keep Step Into Sexy around and get rid of this classic fragrance. I wished I had stocked up when I had the chance. This one is absolutely timeless. I will miss Chic In Black dearly.

My first review:)I got curious after reading the reviews here, so I ordered a bottle on ebay, and I am really surprised with this one! Several years ago when someone introduced me to Avon I got a sample and did not like it at all, I guess I did not give it time...But now I like it, its not my best fragrance but it smells nice and expensive like some high end brands.

It is Little Black Dress in my country. Maybe this perfume is a modern version of a Chanel No 5. It smells great on women, it is very elegant and it could have been a designer fragrance easily. It is very chic, sweet, minimalist and floral. Girls, if you use it, you will smell like a million dollars.

i like the scent. it's ok, but don't layer it with the persperant, and lotion, because it gets too over powering. it's good for night time, when going out somewhere, not to much for everyday use. it's a soft musky some what powdery smell.

Exactly like Little Black Dress. My mother still has several bottles. Oh Avon.... why do they do it? They are the queen of discontinue, along with Bath and Body Works.

This is a good, inexpensive fragrance actually! I prefer Chic in White, but I purchased them both. Smells like more expensive perfume! Not like other Avon fragrances.

I smelled this from the scented page in their catalog, maybe it's different on the skin, but I smelled Givenchy's Pi! Not a bad thing, just surprising.

FYI: TOP NOTES: Cyclamen, Apricot, Fresh Honeysuckle (yummy) MIDDLE NOTES: Pink Peony, Yiang-Ylang, Gardenia BASE NOTES: Milkwood, White musk, Plum

It smells very woody to me and smells like flowers growing through some plywood lol Not that it's bad, just woody and floral, very feminine!

this smells just like forever by elizabeth taylor except it lasts longer. i really didn't expect this from avon

Does small alot like little black dress but doesn't last as long on me. A good one of avons for sure!

it's the same as little black dress minus the bottle wich in both cases is good.

I have this has a nice scent not one of my favs but It will do

strong white floral and powdery nothing sweet about it..

Reminds me of J'adore, but softer.
