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.

When you first spray this it smells very strongly of roses but that fades shortly and you are left with an absolutely amazing scent! This perfume works for all ages and is very soft. One of my favourites :)

This is one of my Avon favorites. I love the way it smells on me and I always get compliments on it. Soooo sad to see its discontined, so I will be spraying with care.

This Is a hard perfume to descibe a Peppery crisp fruiy sparkly hodgpoge and then in a couple of minutes it smells like provalone cheese in my opinion. i'll it 3/12

shiny, floral and soft fragrance! worth every penny, it's not overwhelming and it has a delicate smell. the bottle is cute as well the swarovski pendant. try it!!!

Avon bring us back this lovely fragrance , PLEASE, please, please!!!! :)

(This review is for Eau de Perfume) When I first tried CRYSTAL AURA, the green, fresh and crisp opening did remind me of a shiny, cool and transparent crystal like the name suggests. The light purple color and simple but elegant bottle fit the fragrance well. I like the star fruit a lot in the opening. It has the sweet tropical fruit feel but with a fresh pleasant tone, which is a nice alternative to overly sweet and overripe guava note I have smelled in so many perfumes. The scent transforms into sweet, gentle and slightly pepperly rose in the heart notes. There is tiny touch of aldehydes in the top and heart notes but they are very light, airy and extremely pleasant. The dry down is sweet rose layered on the wood notes. The sillage and longevity are decent. The top and heart notes are beautiful in this fragrance. Unfortunately the dry down is not very remarkable on my skin. I have to give credit to Avon for constructing the scent that does remind me of a crystal in the top notes. There are many jewelry inspired perfumes that do not come even close to resemble anything crystal. This one actually does, at least in the beginning.

Was lucky enough to get a few samples of Avon Crystal aura in a 500 sample lot I purchased on Ebay. It was nothing special at first but within a minute of wearing, it begins to evolve and really capture your senses. It feels modern and captivating even after over 15 years. Sampling this scent in chilly December felt wrong because of how strong of a summer vibe It has. Theres also a freshness akin to issy miyake fragrances, giving it a very unisex feel to me; I could absolutely see a sharp dressed man wearing this to a formal event. I was pleasantly surprised with this classic Avon offering, especially when i layered with Avon Scentini-Citrus Chill. It seems you can still purchase new 1.7 oz examples online for around $20 dollars. Now depending on whether or not the fluid/scent has degraded, it could be a lovely blind buy.

This is a very unique fragrance at first spray when I sprayed it on my shirt I initially got star fruit and osmanthus after that came rose/woody dry down which seemed to be a very light skin scent which was the longest lasting part of the fragrance I don't absolutely love it but I don't hate it either it's just different doesn't last very long either lasts for 2 hours.. But other than that the bottle with the crystal pendant is quite beautiful. I do not think I will be re- purchasing because it's not my favorite fragrance so one bottle will last quite a while.

Carambola, or star fruit, is the star player in this sadly discontinued Avon perfume. I don't think it's strong at all, actually I think it's on the softer side. Fruity, musky and woody with rose and osmanthus. To me this has kind of a cooling factor, mentally anyway, I instantly feel calmer when I put this on. It's also nice to look at with the color and shape of the bottle. It slightly resembles another discontinued perfume of theirs, Outspoken by Fergie. This is like Outspoken's shy little sister. I like this one better.

um surprised ..!! i luve it but i couldn't imagine that might be anything but a floral green hit and where that green apple, cucumber note, , i might be wrong but it had a clear green note from this, its turns to green after few seconds .. so tender ,elegant and feminine i use it couples of years ago and wear it from time to time and i can say that i get alot of complements then!! clean,fresh and cold in some way, if the color amathyst has a smell it would be this perfume

This is seriously pungeant for the first 20 or 30 minutes, then it begins to soften. After dry down is has very little sillage and becomes a "skin scent"; one that is so lovely you look like an idiot because you keep sniffing your wrist every minute or so. Fruity, but not too sweet and nice softness. Great for when you want to smell nice on a summer day. I want another bottle - better get it on ebay while you still can.

A surprisingly nice scent. I don't usually go for cool scents, but this was sweet and pleasant. It seemed really light and feminine, and would fit well when one wanted to get into a playful and girly mood. Unfortunately, also seemed to fade relatively quickly on my skin.

I used to have a bottle of this perfume back in 2007 and it smelled devine. Everybody complimented on it when I was wearing it.But when I got this couple months ago I could not believe my own nose.... It stunk so bad that I cannot even call it perfume anymore...yuck!

It's a seductive, feminine scent...musky, kind of rosy and woody; very interesting without being too complex. I like it and the staying power is really descent too. The bottle is pretty cute(+++). Like it!!!

It is still very reasonable on EBay, scent has remained true. I like it just to layer and wear around the house. I wear fragrance for one person.. ME! So I don't care if anyone else likes my choice!
