Imari Elixir 2015

I like this one. It reminds me of Trish McEvoy #9 Blackberry and Vanilla Musk which I've always loved. It has pretty good longevity and I could still smell it after sleeping and by the next morning. The opening is sweet berry and vanilla and very captivating to the sweet lovers for that reason. As it mellows I still smell the vanilla and berries but in softer manner. I actually like the dry down stage and to me it is reminiscent of wood smoking on a fire. I bought two bottles for $25. It's a nice perfume for lasting power and it's translation of a berry vanilla musk is lovely at any price point. Thankfully it's accessible to almost anyone at this price point. Good job Avon! Edit: I've noticed that when I wear this fragrance my husband comments something like, "I'm not sure but I think I smell smoke or something." That is followed up by me saying "it's my perfume, it has a smoke-like quality to it." I personally like that aspect of this fragrance. Edit: I am really addicted to this smoky dry down phase in Imari Elixir. Whether it was intentionally created to smell this way or not, it's a weirdly comforting smell. Mixed with the blackberries and vanilla there's an almost matchstick (not the sulfur part) but the smoking wood of the matchstick after the fire's blown out. Imari Elixir was one I started to think I'd goofed up on, buying two bottles. Now I'm so glad I have a BU bottle. Winter snuggle scent for chilly evenings.

This was a massive headache inducer in cold weather. Its now mid 70s farenheit and its so much better! Its tolerable now. This is still dark deep and smoky. I smell berries and vanilla this is incense like. Not my usual style but there's a time and mood fir this. The dry down is starchy smelling to me though if that makes sense. I dont think my chemistry agrees with this. But this is for those that prefer dark mysterious earthy scents but still have a sweet craving.

Lush, wet berries, and sinful vanilla, sexy, ultra seductive, a va-va-va-voom scent, it smells all American and not cheap but young, it smells like a young woman who's already got men all figured out, who knows the way to flick her hair and swish her hips, the way to glance smouldering over her shoulder to make men stop in their tracks. It smells as simple and wholesome and lusty as midnight fumbles in the drive in with the prettiest girl in school

Created by perfumer:John Gamba & Master Perfumer: Rodrigo Flores-Roux Detailed Notes Are Top: BLACKBERRY GREEN APPLE ITALIAN MANDARIN Heart: TURKISH ROSE ABSOLUTE JASMIN YLANG-YLANG Base: MEXICAN VANILLA EXTRACT RED AMBER PATCHOULI

Wow! This one can compete with other high end perfumes. I can smell rose and blackberry, then the orange note comes out. When it dries, the patchouli and amber stick on your skin for a long time. It is underated and sometimes overlooked. I got this as blind buy and did not disappoint.
