Lahana

My first perfume as a 13 year old girl in 1992. I received it for Christmas - and being in the cold and snow of northern New England when I first wore this, I will always think of this as a winter scent. I have no idea where my original bottle went, but my husband purchased me a vintage bottle of this for Christmas of 2022. It’s a bit more powdery than I remember (but to be honest, after trying Chanel No. 5 as an adult, I can sniff out powder easily now... and I don’t care for it in general). But the florals are sweet and soft. Lovely scent.

Oh man, I just loved this one. So sweet and a banger in longevity and projection! Wish I could smell it again. It was so sunny and fruity and I felt so pretty with it radiating off of me!!💐

I tried it when it first started in Egypt in the 1900's but sadly ,I never owned it ..Wish it would make a come back

'90s tropical fruity floral along the lines of CK Escape, Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers, etc. A ton of calone. Sweet rose and tropical white flowers like tuberose and jasmine. Something herbal like marigold or chamomile. Peach, osmanthus, watery notes. Basically tropical fruit punch. It has a sweet '90s amber note, along with that cosmetic, powdery, soapy Avon DNA in the base, their blend of vanilla, sandalwood, and musks. I agree with the comparisons, it has a lot in common with Women of Earth. Lahana is fruitier and sweeter, Women of Earth places more emphasis on the green & floral aspects. The bottle is pretty, but I don't ever reach for floral fruities. I decluttered both of them shortly after receiving them from an old family friend. Going by the comments, it seems to have been a mistake on my part.

@mattmhewitt93 - I just procured a .5 oz bottle of Lahana, and I agree with your review below. It smells like nothing else I have in my collection, and I haven't encountered it in the wild, either. Fruity and sweet definitely describe it, but this is not an "edible" scent, in my opinion. I'll add more to this review after I play with it a bit. Update: Nasty cat piss cassis and maybe tuberose. I hate this SO MUCH, one of the few perfumes I've wanted to actually wash off. And of course, the more you hate a perfume, the more tenacious the nastiness is. AVOID unless you love cassis and tuberose and don't mind the overinflated prices for this old Avon scent.
