Simple Elements Meadow Dew

Avon released this in the States as a 150 ml body splash, but overseas as a 50 ml EDT spray. I can never figure out what this company's marketing department is thinking... Of the three (womens) Simple Elements, (there was a mens scent: Crisp Forest, released in the EU but not here, unfortunately!) I liked this one the best, followed by Warm Sunshine and then finally Perfect Cotton. As I tried to replace YR Ode a la Joie with Warm Sunshine (as if!); I attempted to fill the void in my perfumed heart for Ode a la Vie with this... A simple and very unassuming scent this is more of an olfactory accent to ones skin that an actual perfume, perhaps due to the weakness of the concentration of perfumed oils in a splash (it is labelled-in very small letters-as an EDT Splash, but is more like body spray or an evanescent EDC). The green sheer scent of ivy is readily apparent on first applying it to the skin. Putting it on like this, made me think of the old Jean Nate commercials...LOL. The alcohol is there in abundance, but evaporates quickly; leaving only a hint of greens and a lovely soft watery floral scent behind. The drydown of teak is not strong (like the smell of fresh teakwood or vintage furniture), it is more like you are actually around living trees. Vaguely woody with a fresh tantalizing scent. This lives up to its name. Green meadows, morning dew covered blossoms, new green tendrils and a refreshing woodiness. Sillage: close Longevity: okay Overall: 3.75/5 This is no Ode a la Vie, but it is what it is. Very nice and very springlike and airy. Now that I have a bottle of Ode a la Vie, I will be passing this green wonder on to someone who just might love it more than I do. I did at first really love it, but wearing this is like eating iceberg lettuce when you really wanted arugula or romaine, similar but not the same. I will stick with the Ode a la Vie...

ok, i can't resist writing about Simple Elements Crisp Forest and i don't understand why it's not listed :( this is supposed to be for men but i buy it for me, it's woody, green, fresh and much more wonderful than Meadow Dew which i love as well... Crisp Forest should be unisex not a male EDT; for those who appreciate green, woody, chypre notes... these kind of notes; then you will surely fall for the Crisp Forest one ^^

this is so green, fresh and just lovely; but it doesn't disappear minutes after i spray it, it has quite a convincing longevity -lasts for hours actually; i just love the fresh greenness in this one

finally, a fragrance that is similar to the amazing blue rush for women. I smell pears and cucumber and salty sea water. It is fresh, clean and aquatic. Im in love!

i have it its simple soft good smell
