Coastline

I miss this fragrance. It was an aquatic, but it had somewhat of a spicy and salt-air vibe to it. I got a lot of complements when I wore it. Avon's Musk Marine has a lot of the same DNA, but isn't quite the same. I think Avon would do well to bring this one back. Edit (12/20/19): Bought a used bottle on Ebay. So happy to have this back in my collection. The scent definitely brings me back to a certain time in my life.

I came across this in a flea market recently and took it home, not realizing it was an Avon fragrance. We have a strict "no avon" policy in our household, because there's something weird in most of their fragrances that give us all headaches. But from smelling the sprayer, I was reminded instantly of Cuba Paris's "Cuba Shadow," which is their dupe of Bleu De Channel. I realize this makes it a historical anachronism, given that BDC came out 8 years after this did, but those were the vibes I got from it; grapefruit, mint, shower soap vibe. Maybe this was a like the prototype version of BDC, I don't know. It's a strange fragrance.

Very close to Invictus , like a raw version of it. Fresh and lasting. It was a nice summer scent for a very cheap price. Shame Avon discontinues the good ones and keeps the junk. 80/100 RIYL: Invictus and similar aquatic fragrances.
