Just Play for Her

Avon isn't Avon anymore someone said, but after the whole Make Me/Fire Me debacle I was skeptical (despite some pretty nice mens frags), and luckily Just Play was a keeper! I love Citrus Aromatics in general but nowadays everything with bergamot (90% of whats on the market) is being called Citrusy...this one pretty much is; and even though it is supposed to be "for women", I find it quite neutral and wear it in the summertime... This opens on a great tea note, slightly spiced (but not like chai) and some crisp green leaves. It's very airy, 'playful' and care-free. In the heart, clementine's sweetness becomes apparent as the freesia gently rises: a delicately blended citrusy floral that balances the bitter tea and greens. Very nice, like oranges squeezed into your iced green tea and some flowers have been added for garnish. :-) This scent actually develops as the top notes fade into the heart (as opposed to disappearing) and all the layers come to rest on a very light woody base with just a hint of muskiness. This is nice! Sillage: close to fair Longevity: average Overall: 3.5/5 I was very impressed with this and bought a FB after smelling the tester in the brochure. For some reason, the men's version (released simultaneously everywhere else) was released at least 6 months to a year after this...why? A very subtle, soft and refreshing scent JP makes the cut for me...

Just Play is high-spirited and fun with white tea, mate and petitgrain, and a nice bold cardamom to give it some life! Very citrusy and also has freesia, so thankfully it's not too sweet. I think this is the darkest color of orange I have in any fragrance, but not the most citrusy in impression. Another fragrance I love that has a goofy name and dull bottle, I think I'm seeing a pattern here!

I love it in my older years , when younger I could take the powerful scents much better to me ''Just play '' is just right Its clean and crisp not ''heavy'' at all , makes my mood cheery like the citrus and flowery vibe combo and just a touch of musk I would buy it again , cheap enough !

I'm an Avon rep, and honestly, there are very few Avon scents that I like. But this one grabbed me. It doesn't smell like the "typical Avon" powder-y scent. It has a lovely tea note which is perfect for the warmer summer months. On me, the drydown is very similar to Au The Vert.

I adore the combination of clementine, white tea and freesia, it's fresh and sweet in the same time. It's perfect for spring and summer and always makes me smile.

This is a perfume that makes me happy. I wear this to cheer me up on a dull office day.

I would describe this as cheap and cheerful. It's bright and happy with citrus and freesia and personally i like it, but it doesnt last so long and it's sillage isnt amazing... (thats the cheap bit...well... what should i expect for a fiver?) i agree that it smells like Wish of Happiness...maybe a bit soapier. Overall though, it's nice.

I found this surprisingly nice for an Avon perfume. Of course I'm putting other expectations to "cheap" perfumes like Avon than to e.g. Molinard or Armani etc. This "Play" scent was fun. I used it after sports and found it refreshing. To me it was a nice flowery scent with a bright tea note.

I used to have it a few years back. I don't recognize the ingredients used in it but I remember it had a light and fresh citrus scent. Good to wear in summer and in the daytime. I liked it. Generally I don't like citrus scents but I guess it's not true that I won't like all citrus scents.

The Clementine really shines in this one. It has a clean, fresh orange scent. I was afraid I would not like this one because it is similar to aquatics. Fortunately, I do. This is for Spring/Summer.

To me, this is a dupe of Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea (original)...citrusy (not sweet) and fresh (not floral). If you like Green Tea, you'll like this, and I got mine for about $9...DEAL!!

This is very fresh, citrusy and surprisingly good for the price offered. Great for everyday wear.

Just got me another bottle of this it is so refreshing!! It is a perfect pick me-up scent !!

Light citrus scent, good scent for the price.

Usually, I like a lot of the Avon fragrances. This is definitely NOT one that I like at all. Upon first spray, it is incredibly citrusy. The citrus in the beginning is a little bit overwhelming. The middle seems like a smoky and dark tea mingled with the cardamon. The notes seem to be reversed. But the beginning and middle aren't all that bad, I've smelled much worse. The final dry down is the culprit. The smoky tea is there but it has mingled with some musk and wood. I kept trying to figure out what it smelled like then it hit me....OLD SPICE. Yep, that's right. The dry down is like Old Spice Lite. I have hated the smell of Old Spice since I was a little girl. I definitely don't want to smell like it. Now I have to get rid of TWO bottles of the stuff. It smelled pleasant in the booklet. It's terrible on my skin...and it has lasted since around 9:30 this morning. It's now 3pm CST, I'm going to have to wash it off.

This one reminds me of Pink Suede, which has been discontinued, except a stronger version. There is a drydown that smells terrible on me. I don't like this one at all.

I didn't like it. In the beginning it was OK, but in three minutes I only felt the smell of soap. Waste of money!

I like citrus but found it terribly smelly. Sorry, but it's really not my fragrance...

I remember that I really liked this fragrance. I wish that Avon had not discontinued it, because it is now very difficult to find at a decent and affordable price, even on Amazon. What I liked about this fragrance was the concept of "play" and "playfulness"-- the fun element in life we sometimes forget especially as "adults." We forget very easily that most of what we choose to do need not be drudgery but play and if it isn't perhaps there is something else we need to be doing. I also liked it citrusy, sporty, playful scent. It is a bright and cheery smell even on cloudy, dark days. I think we need something like "Just Play" more than ever now. Please bring it back, Avon! I'll purchase it. Thank you.

This is nice for daytime use during hot weather - a perfect 'office' perfume that won't knock people over or cause offence. I am generally not a fan of citrus - loathe strong grapefruit and lemon aromas, and bergamot makes me feel nauseous - but the clementine in this is just right. I've loved clementine/mandarin in perfumes since the days of much mourned-for Aqua Manda. Okay, it fades quite quickly so needs topping up, but it is cheap enough. Cooling and refreshing.
