Crystal Aura

Crystal Aura is not an ordinary fragrance. It is sheer, yet noticeable. Crystal Aura opens softly with a touch of fruity-floral notes, to me it smells more like osmanthus and spices dipped in pineapple juice. For some reason I cannot detect rose that much, it seems to be overwhelmed by osmanthus which I personally do not mind at all :-) The dry down is a perfect wood-musk combo; sensual and enveloping. I don't smell aldehydes at any stage. Crystal Aura makes me think of autumn sunny mornings, red and golden leaves as I walk down the forest alley. Sun rays gently kiss my cheeks while crispy breeze plays with my hair and I get a lovely whiff of Crystal Aura. Crystal Aura is a lovely fragrance to wear when going for a walk in the nearby woodlands or when you have an afternoon for yourself. Sentimental, nostalgic, romantic, dreamy. This is what Crystal Aura is for me. And what a bottle....Ahhhh....

Crystal Aura is one of the Avon's best creative fragrances along with Bond Girl / Perceive / Women of Earth, all are in the same league (but difference levels) CA starts with the sharp Starfruit which is the highlight of the bottle but lasts for 5 mins then gone! leave nothing special excepts Musk, no hints of Rose or Woody, I sware I can feel of something Gin or Mojito or Tea which none on the pyramid. Price was so ridiculous since it was released, in Thailand shop they sold the cheapest for $10!! I used to stock more than 5 bottles due by the price and bottle was so gorgeous with Crystal Pendant. Almost of my stock left to my cousins as birthday gift. My last bottle is now becomes a room spray but everytime I sprayed, it's always reminds me of how fun collecting the Avon fragrances was.

Can't believe that I never reviewed this wonderful perfume! It's been a summer favorite for many years - amazing because it's not exactly the kind of scent that I normally wear. It is fruity/flowery sweet but not like the currently popular cloying artificial sweet. And it has a solid base from musk and laranjinha wood. This is one of the good ones from Avon, so of course it's discontinued.

I think Crystal Aura is a lovely floral aldehyde with a hint of musk. Sorta reminds me of rosey bath oil beads. Most of Avons scents similar to this don't last very long, but I've found this one does. I think it's because it seems to be a bit oily/dense, but not overwhelming. I love it and all the compliments I get when wearing it.

Avon is in the exceptionally naughty habit of discontinuing perfectly wonderful fragrances and never bringing them back while keeping some really dated perfumes in stock. Eh. When I bought this bottle, the description was "crystallized fruits" and it really did capture that. I love you Crystal Aura, please come back some day.
