Goddess

I like it. A lot. There, I said it. I go through scent phases - one month Dior, another month l'Eau d'Issey, etc., and most of the time I'm happy going "naked" - no scents at all. Goddess was one of those impulse buys for me, after I smelled it on a girl at the checkout counter of the local store. I felt weird asking her what was she wearing, after all, it is kind of personal but she was very happy to tell me :) I got a bottle of Goddess on eBay a year ago and been enjoying it since. It is a light, breezy and feminine scent that can top a dressy outfit, or a jeans-and-tee. The lasting power could use some improvement. I get complimented by both sexes when I wear Goddess so, why stop?

I had this 10 years ago and I still have the bottle with a few drops left at the bottom - unfortunately gone off. The name was Lyrical. I really enjoyed wearing this lovely lilly-of-the-valley perfume. Yesterday, as I experimented with layering, I almost managed to retrieve the scent from the past by mixing Pur Blanca with Muguet En Fleurs. That was amazing! But eventually Pur Blanca emerged and the charm disappeared:( I wish the brought Lyrical/Goddess back one day...

I used to have a friend that loved wearing this one very much! She always said, it it not an expensive perfume, but I love it sooo much! I LOVE THAT! That she chose to love what she wanted and not to be dictated by no-one! I would love to have this one too! I never had it, but she did really smell great always!

I remember my sister had this, when I was a kid. And I have loved that watery floral freesia ever since. She got a lot of compliments on it. All their perfumes smell cheap and all the same, except this one. This is the best they've made (imo).

Lily of the valley is one of my favorite scents so yep I had this when it came out. IMO it is a perfect blend of lily of the valley,musk & freesia..very feminine! It had great staying power and I went through 3 bottles of it!!!!

I agree, Lizlady68! Actually, to my nose this is also a good deal like Jasmine by Love's Soft ( not the Jasmine musk, but the newer, fresh Jasmine recently sold at Walmart ). Goddess really surprises me with the combination of fresh flowers and musk. She IS a little like some floral laundry detergent or Downy - even so she has such charm on the right skin. Well done, Avon! Update - After more testing, what I'm sensing is a beautiful LILY with noticable Jasmine and a fresh, laundry vibe. The closest fragrance that comes to mind would be Coty's iconic Muguet de Bois, though that is nearly All Lily. I feel that Avon's take on lilies is charmingly appropriate for a hot summer's day, and quite refreshing too!

I had totally forgotten about this Avon frag,probably because I went through it so darn fast! I remember it smelling like another of my favourites, Benefit's Maybe Baby,which can also be likened to Gwen Stefani's L. A fresh,girly scent perfect for splashing on as you head out the door to give you that just showered feeling. I don't even think the bottle lasted me a month,I loved it and can't remember why I didn't repurchase! Avon has great scents in the $10 (sale) price range that come and go,usually excellent dupes of current popular fragrances.

Had it years ago. It was very nice a light floral. I didn't wear it much sadly because one of my friends saw the bottle and liked it so I gave it to her immediately. It was a bad habit of mine back then to just give anything someone complimented away without thinking. Ah well, I did enjoy it for the little while I had it. It was quite lovely actually but light, smooth and dreamy. I wore it to bed a few times. Pretty. Wish I had kept it.

I own the body spray and I'm not sure how it compares to the perfume, but I have pleasant memories of wearing it in Japan (it was the only fragrance I took with me in my luggage and I wore it everyday since it was light and fresh). Shame it's discontinued, though. I found it worked well with my body chemistry.

Light, clean, feminine & soft scent. Perfect for casual ware; wears close to the skin. Don't last long though, but as Aloha34 wrote, you can layer it since there's the body wash & lotion...will definitely lasts longer.

Charming scent! Equivalent of wearing Downy Soft and spring flowers. I appreciate the fresh and lovely way freesia is done here, because so often it's a screechy mess. This is spring in a bottle.

This is a unique scent from Avon. I hope they never discontinue this scent. Freesia et al... really nice

Smells like lemon juice on top of LOTV to me, suuuuper subtle.

It really barely smells of anything to me. It's vaguely perfumey and kind of floral smelling but it's definitely an everyday scent if you don't want it to be overwhelming. It's definitely lily of the valley, I wish the musk was stronger though. Not my favourite from Avon by a long shot

I come across a lot of Avon fragrances in my travels, some donated, some loaned and some purchased. I love the Avon vintages, some of them stand at the top of my list. A few of their newer entries I've loved, too. And then I was loaned Goddess. I'll try to be diplomatic. This fragrance has a bare hint of musk. with only three notes to speak of, at least one spoke to me. Very quietly. I think it was outspoken by the synthetic noise of the other two notes bellowing at it. It never had a chance to be free and come out. Quite frankly, I don't know who the Goddess is that might wear this concoction. It's just too much of a chemical mess. For those who do wear this well, please forgive me. I mean no insult to you. I really believe Avon threw together some ingredients, slapped a name on a bottle and marketed it quickly. Lasts for a few hours and radiates well. Bottle is nicely shaped with a crackly type finish.

This fragrance is so irritating to me that when I smell it, it feels like a case of bad heartburn.

This fragrance is memorable for one thing. Years ago I put the perfume without the box in my handbag for a holiday of the South Coast. At some point the bottle got smashed. My handbag and everything was wet through. It had gone through my bag onto the car floor. We stopped off at a service station so I could get rid of the broken glass and unfortunately I couldn't bin everything else. For the 5 and half hours the car stunk of a massive, in your face LOTV. We drove with all the windows down for the duration of the journey, there and back. That's all I could smell for 10 days as my bag went everywhere with us. For years all I could smell was this perfume LOTV. I came to dislike all LOTV perfumes. As soon as I saw this perfume on here, I instantly recalled that holiday. I did the thing with a bottle of Avons Pearls & Lace in the open plan office where I worked. From then only the boxed perfumes were put in my bag.

at first sniff this smells like a cheap wc air fresher... after it calms down, I can also detect some pear lingering around, although it is not listed above in the notes, which is quite nice, but for my complex soul just too simple ;-))) So, what I do is next:... I take Lyrical (yes it is called lyrical here too), spray it as a base for another Avon fragrance ..far away, which is also strong and on my bad days I could call it a stinker... so when I spray Far Away over Lyrical this smells really unique, yummy and sexy.. it is just the right amount of everything .. Lyrical doesn't get too plain while Far Away doesn't develop a headache-causing cloying state. Ah, yes this combo is wonderful!

I also love it! Pity that Avon discontinue the great perfumes (and the cheap smelling ones are available for many years). There's no justice. It was called Lyrical here too. I know that isn't listed but I smell a great,dominant peach smell in it. I dislike the pure lily-of-the valley,linear scents, but this is so special for me. I wear it in hot summer days, it cools me down like a shower and the nice aroma is around me for hours. Unfortunately I'm too close to finish my bottle. :( Is there still available at any other part of the world? I'm just curious.

sometimes i liked it but mostly don't. I think its a fair choice but not for me. I feel i will have an allergy after sometime of smelling it. Perfumes smell is really different in different peoples,if i remember it right,(correct me if i am wrong)i think one of my chem teacher said perfumes smells is according to body our temperature and our being acidic. The more acidic you are the more the scent will vanishes easily and sometimes it's giving off an odd smell.
