Millennia

At first it seems very specious, especially noticeable nutmeg and cardamom, prominent citrus: bergamot mostly, so I was not too convinced. Sandalwood is also intense and very prominent. I thought it might be too Chypre for my taste, but it's a flavor to give it time, once gave the first impression of pepper and nutmeg, the floral bouquet reveals almost aquatic quality. a blend of lily, lilac, violets, orchids and lotus exudes Orientalism. The floral blend combined with spices, are delicious. I guess that should smell the Hindu princesses of antiquity. I waited longer and it was pure magic. It goes with my skin chemistry and began to smell sweet and delicate and lasts forever on me. I started thinking that it is rare to find a perfume that has those delicate flower notes that give some creaminess attached to sandalwood. All this is distilled smoothly with increasing body temperature and movement. It is an aroma almost sacred, yet sensual at the same time. It ́s magical, oriental, sacred, sensual, refined ... I always get compliments for using it and makes me feel that I have an expensive perfume gifted by a king in one of the Arabian Nights ...

I found this scent by accident, in the form of several 10-packet sample boxes at a tag sale. At first Millennia reminds me a bit of Alien, but then it develops a distinctly Middle Eastern or Indian aroma of sweet spices and lilac. I really do not detect any musk, and it's not listed in the ingredients, but the woodsy notes do impart a slightly musky feel in the drydown. The longevity is incredible(twenty-four hours),and the sillage is quite impressive. This is a beautiful, somewhat incense-like perfume, which has a sensual aura. I have received so many complements, as many as I have for English Leather Black. Millennia is somewhat enigmatic. It has the nature of a woman who is feminine but not "girly", soft and submissive but with an inner core of strength and confidence in her special powers as a female. Oscar Wilde's quote comes to mind: "Women defend themselves by attacking, just as they attack by sudden and strange surrender." Of course, Avon discontinued this amazing fragrance.They always seem to get rid of the good scents.

This is hands down one of the most enjoyable and wearable fragrances for women. I used to wear this scent exclusively when it first came out and I would always get compliments. Men in particular would always tell me I smelled so good and would ask me what I was wearing. This juice is a man magnet for us ladies. Something unforgettable and intoxicating about this perfume. So sad this was discontinued as this was hands down Avon’s best perfume ever. It’s so wearable for any time and season. The smell doesn’t get stale, dated or boring. Finally found a vintage bottle on EBay. Excited to get this to wear again. I miss it. Definitely a first date perfume or dressing to impress. This scent is a crowd pleasing winner and men will definitely be attracted to this perfume.

I've never smelled a fragrance like Millennia. I wore it when it first came out and wish I had bought several bottles. I recently lucked out and found full bottle and snatched it up. I love unusual fragrances and this one is that. After the opening stage when it calms down on your skin it's just the sweetest vanilla and spices that remain. Such a snuggle kind of scent. I find it calming and relaxing and alluring. The warm milk aspect makes sense but there's much more than that to this perfume. The nutmeg and spices are what gives Millennia it's oomph. Love it!

Being a healthcare worker and having asthma, I do not wear scented things very often. However, I love this perfume. I used wear it on dates when I was single. I ended up running out and wore something different (Opium)one night with a guy I had been on a few dates with. He asked about the different smell and I told him I had run out of my fav & it was discontinued. Next date he presented me with a bottle of Millenia he had scoped out on ebay! Needless to say, we have now been married 12 years! I still have about 1/2 a bottle I use VERY sparingly.
