Flor Alegria

Love this! It's such a well balanced fragrance; not too sweet, not too floral, not too tropical. I think maybe Avon was trying to mimic Escada fragrances based on the bottle shape and colors. This does not have that chemical smell that some of Avon's other fragrances have. It is not strong and projection is weak but I don't mind re-spraying considering I purchased this on eBay for about $7. But honestly, it is similar to other scents that I have spent $40+ on. Once again, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get a great fragrance! I may try layering this with my other scents that contain some of these notes. I really enjoy this one but you know what that means - Avon will most likely discontinue it.

This sooo reminds me of that bottle of Clinique Happy that I have sitting over in the corner, only it doesn't have the staying power. I love the citrusy, perky vibe and I love the layering that Avon offers in the shower gel and lotion, but it still doesn't seem to last more than 1hr on me. It's not an expensive perfume but I'd rather pay a little more for something that held its own. I also think you get more bang for the buck with Avon products if you purchase from Ebay and all the cut-throat reps that sell there. I've gotten many a fantastic deal on products even with the buy-it-now and free shipping. If you don't mind reapplying frequently, go for it!

I got a sample vial of this, and I really like it. As another member said, it smells like it does in the book. It is definitely tropical and sweet. I can smell some citrus in it, possibly some mango, coconut. The rose comes in right away and almost gives it an illusion of very sweet, light musk underneath tropical fruits. I can almost detect strawberry. It also reminds me of pineapple Starburst from the tropical packs. Does not last more than 3 hours, it fades from my nose within an hour.

So fresh and pretty, the passionfruit is beautiful and this fragrance lasts a reasonable amount of time too. It has a tiny, tiny touch of fresh saltiness but overall is passionfruit and floral. Gorgeous.

I loved this when I first tried it, but as my tastes have changed over the last couple of years, it's a little too sweet for me now. I like the base fragrance, but the floral sweetness is a bit overpowering. It's a great summer fragrance, though, and I continue to wear it on occasion.
