Perceive

Bu parfüm hakkında o kadar çok şey yazabilirim ki. Öncelikle eskiden parfüm alırken notalara bakmazdım. Katalogdaki tanıtımına bakarak alırdım. Bu parfüm benim lise yıllarımda imza parfümümdü. En sevdiğim Avon parfümü. Ve hayatım boyunca seveceğimden emin olduğum tek parfüm. Bu parfüm hakkında yorum yazmadan önce diğer yorumları okumadım. Ama yazdıktan sonra okuyacağım çünkü bu kokuyu onlar nasıl hissediyor merak ediyorum. Bende hissettirdiği şey hüzünlü, melankolik ama aynı zamanda huzurlu ve sakinleştirici. Bir yağmur sonrası gibi. Bu bir başyapıt. Denediğim hiçbir parfüm bana bu duyguları hissettiremiyor. Bu parfümü her kokladığımda onu kullanmam için beni ikna etmeye çalışıyor. Oldukça ısrarcı ve aceleci. "Beni sık. Beni bekletme. Kendini benimle kokuya bula. Bol bol sık. Buram buram. Cimri olma. Beni kullan!" diyor. Bu kokunun benimle konuştuğunu iddia edebilirim :D Ve bu konuda neden bu kadar ısrarcı olduğunu sanırım anlıyorum. Notaları oldukça hızlı bozuluyor ve 10 sene sonra sadece bir alkol kokusu ve kötü bir kokuya dönüştü. Şu an bir yenisini aldım ve artık onu anlıyorum. Avon'un tüm fresh parfümleri gibi çabuk bozuluyor. Geçmişte stokladıklarım kutusunda muhafaza ettiğim halde bozuldu. Umarım hayatım boyunca bu parfüme ulaşabilirim çünkü stoklamaya uygun değil. Parfüm oldukça fresh ve bana kalırsa sucul, bana denizi ve bir deniz kenarını andırıyor. Notalara baktığımda bunun bir çiçek kokusu olduğunu görüp şaşırıyorum. Bana kesinlikle serin bir deniz kenarı havası veriyor. Bu parfüm benim için en özel parfüm ve beni gençlik yıllarıma götürse de, şu anda bile çok değerli ve eşsiz. Şişesi ve ismi kesinlikle parfümle uyumlu. Her mevsim kullanılabilir. Daha bir sürü şey yazabilirim fakat bu parfüm bana göre anlatılmaz, yaşanır. Onu bekletmeyin, onu sıkın, bitirin ve yıllar sonra taze duyguları ve umutları hatırlayın...

I just noticed that one reviewer on here said that she finds Perceive to be an "ugly, ugly" perfume and that she thinks it's suitable for old ladies. How incredibly rude!! As for the "B.O. stench following me around .." that another reviewer mentioned she smelled when she wore this perfume - well, presumably it's her own chemistry that affected the perfume that way, or perhaps it actually was stale body odor!! I find it curious that some people have such strange views. Why should anyone think that old ladies should be the ones who should wear what may be seen (in some people's views) as being unpleasant perfumes?? That's a very peculiar, and nasty, attitude. Everyone can choose to wear the perfumes that they like and that they feel happy wearing. That might mean that a more mature lady may prefer light, fruity, fresh perfumes (and smell good in them!) and a younger woman might prefer deeper, more intense perfumes (and, to other people's noses, might smell unpleasant!). Either way, everyone is an individual with individual tastes, regardless of their age, and has a right to wear what makes them happy without other people being nasty and sneering about them. Anyone who has such narrow minded views as the reviewer I mentioned above who made the nasty comment about old ladies should take a good hard look at themselves and try to be nicer. Maybe that would make them more pleasant people. For the record, Perceive is actually a very likeable, fresh, light, feminine, AGELESS, perfume and is one of Avon's better ones - and it DEFINITELY doesn't smell of either old ladies (if there is actually a definitive old lady smell - which there isn't!), pigs, stale socks or body odor (which some other people have likened it to)!

A Timeless Scent of Memory — Perceive by Avon Perceive by Avon is more than just a fragrance to me, it is a cherished memory captured in a bottle. It was the very first perfume my dad ever bought for me when I was a teenager. I still remember that day in 2002 so vividly: he took me and my sisters to a perfume store and told us to choose something we like. Outside, it was late fall, cold, with snow gently covering everything and that crisp, clean air that makes scents feel even more alive. I was so happy, and somehow, this fragrance became forever tied to that moment. Perceive is beautifully balanced, making it perfect for any season. It carries a soft freshness, yet in cold air it becomes something truly magical, crisp, comforting, and unforgettable. In 2005 my dad passed away and life moved on, this perfume became impossible to find. But recently, after more than 20 years, I finally found it again, and incredibly, it smells exactly as it used to. The moment I sprayed it, all those memories came rushing back. It felt like being transported in time. The bottle itself is just as special-designed like a crystal or diamond, with a soft light purple lavender hue liquid inside, it looks elegant and nostalgic at the same time. I feel so lucky to have rediscovered this fragrance. Perceive isn’t just a perfume—it’s a piece of my past, a reminder of love, and a scent that will always stay with me.

I had this in university 8 years ago, I would have reordered it but it was discontinued. I loved it as an everyday everywhere scent. It was there but it wasn't there. It was hard to use too much of it to a point of it being overdone(on me). I am still learning about perfumes so please try to visualize my review :) It smelled like very icy cold water on the top of a mountain. and like paper. It was clean smelling. Later on I would smell powdery and gentle. My boyfriend at the time loved it. If I ever get it again I'll do another review, since I will probably have a different experience due to body chemistry. I didn't know people hated this scent! lol i thought it was good.

how that could be, how that perfume is an Oriental perfume,??!!! personally i used it over 9 years ago and still it used to be my signature perfume for years i was 17 or 18 years old and i fall in luve with it at once, i bought it over 5 or 6 times now i have it and i luve it but it became not my cup of tea any more .. but i never thought it can be just sick ORIENTAL perfume , it can be oriental floral , or floral but not oriental, its so sweet for being an oriental perfume i adore the base not of vanilla, musk and sandalwood , and um sure about the floral note i cant define it exactly but it has a clear floral note, in short that perfume is GOOD i like it very much
