Ginza Stefany Always Beside You

I recently was introduced to an AVON representative and asked her if she had any samples of their perfumes. I do not own any AVON perfumes, but had recently read an article that they were beginning to introduce an Artisan line, so I thought, hey, why not? There were several samples that she gave me and out of all of them, this one spoke to me. I tried the few Artisan "fall" perfumes, however, the longevity was terrible. Always Beside You has a lovely clean scent that works well for the spring and summer months. The opening is quite strong, but in a good way. Filled with tuberose and settles quickly in the dry down with the soft subtle smell of musk. The musk is what pulled me in. It's done right. Light, subtle and sexy. This perfume has more of an expensive smell than what I expected from AVON. Although the price is a bit higher than the typical Avon perfume, but I found the perfume to be worth it. It's longevity is longer as the others as well, which of course is important to all of us, I believe. All in all I would recommend anyone that loves the clean scent of earthy tones and the sensual scent of musk to give this one a try. I believe you may be pleasantly surprised. *Try a sample first. Do not blind buy. Like I said, it is a bit pricier than their other perfumes. Also, have a representative, the price is cheaper from them than directly offline. **Also if you order right now you'll receive a full size bottle of their lovely fragrance of Far Away; it's a limited edition bottle.

Nostalgic, pleasant. Has a surprising animal I note. I'd say definitely better than an Average Avon scent.
