Premiere Luxe

Wait a second...What?! This thing is magnificent. I paid 10.20 Euros for this? Yes, I did. Beats 10x more expensive designer scents by a mile. An easy going, relaxed smokey vetiver with patchouli and other woods perfectly blended. Not loud, but calming. Who ever did this, did it perfect. This could be a secret weapon among the boring usual fragrances out there today. Brilliant.

I swear this smells like a darker PRADA Amber Pour Homme! I love it!

Premiere Luxe on Fragrantica and on the Avon website has a limited set of notes because they only mention patchouli, vetiver and guaiac wood, but I can also feel other notes there. The opening is "delicious", a lemon note meets patchouli and ginger. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it suggests something spicy and culinary, and as the first notes calm down a bit, light black pepper appears. The heart of the fragrance is vetiver and amber. For me, the amber in the middle of the fragrance is a bit surprising because it is strongly exposed here. I smell musk and guaiac wood in the base. At this stage, the fragrance dries gently and sweetly. Amber and musk last the longest, with a guaiac forest emerging from time to time, and this is what makes Luxe in the final phase remind me a bit of Armani Code, but with the first version from 2004. I don't know what the current releases smell like, I had them a few years ago and something seemed to have changed for the worse, but in Premiere Luxe you can hear the Armani Code from 15 years ago. In general, I have the impression that Premiere Luxe was inspired by amber from perfumes from the early 2000s. A dark, slightly smoky, slightly soapy, amber scent. Such a sweet, warm and spicy combination of amber with guaiac and musk. Projection is average, the scent makes itself felt from time to time, but durability is very good, even great, for a fragrance costing several dozen zlotys. I can feel it on me practically all day long. It's not as innovative as Avon's Tomorrow, but it's a really good fragrance in its price category. I would have forgotten that it also has a strong connection with Tom Ford's Noir. 7/10

Greetings, My mom has bought this fragrance for my dad. I could not help but to borrow it and analyze it a bit. For me it is a rather unique/interesting fragrance that smells of patchouli, green and even leather (for some reason) notes. It is very close to the skin, and does not shout. Very subtle, warm and I would say an evening-smell. I have some doubts regarding longevity/projection, since even though it is quite strong in the beginning it dries down very fast and sillage is somewhat lacking (not a huge problem, since it is quite intimate smell). It is also interesting to note, that even though it is very masculine in the beginning, after a few minutes it becomes a lot softer, and I could not shake a feeling that this could serve as a unisex fragrance for a strong woman. If applied sparingly that is. One way or another, this, like most of Avon fragrances lacks in Sillage, however even though I have some small doubts I want to and I will recommend it. Its a good evening fragrance, a bit sweet, a bit fresh, a bit masculine. This could be sold for a lot more money, if it had a famous designer name on it. In the future I would like to see Avon improving the potency of their parfumes, other than that it is still a gem. Go for it. 7/10 or even 8/10

It was given to me by a friend, because the first time he showed this to me I was stunned by how good it smelled. It reminded me of something, but I can't remember what. It has such a luxurious and enigmatic vibe. I can imagine a charming masculine man at a night out wearing this. The performance for such a cheap Avon fragrance is unexpectedly good! I sprayed myself 6 times and it lasted all night and even in the morning when I woke up it was still around. It's best for colder weather and of course at night or rainy days. The scent is a masterpiece however I did find that after a while it can get too much. It's not for everyone I should say. It's not a casual scent and definitely not a t-shirt and jeans type scent. The bottle looks luxurious, but it's a shame you can't see how much is in it, because it's not any transparent. This perfume is highly underrated. I agree with the reviewer below me if it was sold under a brand like Tom Ford it would be all over the place.
