Incandessence Flame

Slightly disappointed with this one as I do like the original Incandessence. It doesn't really have as much punch as I thought it would. Maybe the red bottle and the name indicate a more fiery scent than this actually is. It is very soft on me and whilst not unpleasant, in fact it started off very promising, as it dried down it was a bit indistinguishable. I forgot to top up as well so when I give it another go I'll bear that in mind. However its worth its price I suppose but its just very ordinary.

I own this one. It is sharp and sweet but pleasant and is rather complex in its smell. It is sweet but in a warm spicy way. I imagine melting candies above an open fire place . This is a warm sweet syrupy juice. I don't detect gardenia and there is very little musk if any. Does settle into a nice white floral- smells more of jasmine magnolia and lily than gardenia to me. On dry down the jasmine is very strong.

Warm, spicy, floral but also a bit odd. The pepper note was interesting but all together the notes were clashing a bit in some way? I also felt like it didn't really vibe well with my skin chemistry so I gave it away to my mom. The best part was probably the sillage and the longevity (~8h on me), quite amazing for such a cheap perfume.

Avon have some good perfumes and some great and excellent ones. This is not one of them. Of all the Avon perfume lines I must admit Incandessence must be my least preferred one. To me it`s just so blunt and cheap smelling with not even a fraction of creativity. And Incandessece Flame must be the worst of all the Incandessence family. To me it`s simply rude. No intelligence to it, no subtlety, just like a hit on the head with the wooden stick. It`s syrupy and sickening. I`m sorry to those to whom this will be unpleasant to read.

I only purchased this perfume because I thought they tried to copy a little bit the bottle of Le Feu d'issey (which is my favourite perfume) and I hopelessly thought they somehow attempted to 'copy' its smell as well. But no, absolutely no resemblance to Le Feu. This one is very soapy, floral, sweet and cheap smelling almost nauseating (well... It is a cheap perfume anyways). I'll have to give it away.
