Foxfire

I never had this when it first came out when I was in junior high, but a lot of people that I knew had it and liked it. Wearing this now, it's easy to wear, down to earth, slightly dry green, a bit less bright and sharp than some of the other greens that were from the same era and slightly before. Clean smelling, kind of soapy, lightly (not sweet) spicy, and it is still pleasant and noticeable on my skin after 4 hours. The name doesn't really match the style of the scent IMO, but it was the name that I found interesting enough to try the perfume the first time. I can see why this became as popular as it did.

I owned a bottle of this when I was in high school, probably my first more "grown up" fragrance. I think it was gifted to me but I can't remember by whom. It's been ages since I last saw that bottle, which I had used up entirely, but I remember the scent as being soapy green, with a hint of fresh spice. I don't remember thinking of it as floral, so I was surprised to see that it contains these floral notes. It was just fresh and green to me. Makes me feel nostalgic remembering how it smelled.

Foxfire is one of the better Avon frags. I'm usually not a big fan of the big A but Foxfire is quite nice with its strong green notes. The opening is very sharp, as others have noted. The dry down is lovely, green and powdery and a little similar to Emeraude - another green Oriental. In fact I'm going to try layering the two. Foxfire deserves a try, I can see a younger demographic going for this lovely perfume. Good for work and leisure.

Foxfire is an odd name for this perfume as it is soapy green. There is a lily of the valley note with a soapy rose tone to it. Different and unusual. Tickles the nose a little with that good old Avon twang...but otherwise an OK scent. Dry down is quite nice.

My best friend and I wore this when we were 13/14 years old. Her mom was the neighborhood Avon lady, so 90% of my perfume wardrobe was Avon haha. This one made us feel grown up. We thought we were so sophisticated! It's been decades since I've smelled it - as young teens, we knew nothing of moderate application, so our bottles never lasted very long. I'm sure if I caught a whiff of it today, it would send me down memory lane. I can't even remember how it actually smelled; at that age it was less about appreciation of beautiful perfume and more about pretending I was worldly wise. I do wish Avon would re-release this, along with Toccara. Now THAT one I remember, as it was my absolute favorite a year or so later.
