Simple Elements Warm Sunshine

The citrus notes at the top temper the mid-notes of lily-of-the valley, which is A-OK with me since lily of the valley has a tendency to be loud and screechy on my skin...The bonus are the basenotes which tie it all together for a sexy, woody, not-so-over-the-top clean fragrance...Great sillage, and lasts about 6-7hrs on my skin! Bravo, Avon, for offering a great 'sunny' fragrance!

All 3 Simple Elements were released here in the USA as splashes in 150 ml bottles, and Crisp Forest (the mens version) was not. >:-| I wonder if Avon thinks men don't buy their stuff, and only women buy for their men; and so carry scents ladies like on their men, as opposed to what WE really like... I bought this as a replacement for the now discontinued Ode a la Joie by YR. And for a while it worked-used with La Joie shower gel and lotion-but, it is more of a single citrus scent with some sheer green florals and warm slightly spiced resiny drydown-not, the wonderous beauty so lush and full of sunny freshness, greens and lush woods I had hoped for. It is nice just for something you just splash on after a shower for a bright, fresh, 'walk in the meadow' feel, but it was a little too transparent and fleeting for me, so I gave it to my sister-she loved it!! Sillage: close Longevity: could be better Overall: 2.75/5 I wish we had gotten the EDT sprays released in Europe, as I find that sprayers tend to magnify the scent and add to its devlopment (or maybe it's just me). This is a very nice scent, just not what I was looking for...

Warm Sunshine is really radiant perfume, its citruses are cozy and warming and the effect is made even stronger with amber as a base note, however it is the perfect choice in summer (and I love it in rainy days when I need to add some sun). It opens with strong bergamot and zesty lemon, then slowly turns to slightly floral mandarin but the drydown is a very warming amber, perhaps with some cedar. Sillage is average, but for hot weather it is fine. I feel the fragrance on me for some four hours, but close on skin and on clothes it stays even up to nine hours. It can be worn by both women and men easily. Actually it reminds me niche perfumes rather than designer unisex fragrances. It is definitely one of the best from very cheap Avon fragrances and it is a cut above compared to other three from the same line. This perfume made me think over my attitude towards citrus and now I know what to look for - citrus notes on top and amber in base makes a divine combination.

This really changed my first impression because the first time i got it, i really really dislike it. the spiceness qoncuer all the notes. I bought it and it was introduced by my mum's friend. i kept it at my perfumes rack for months. Then one day, i think i want to give it a chance. What surprised me Avon Simple Elements Warm Sunshine is perfect and working on the rainy days!. The notes are amber, mandarin orange and lily of the valley. The mandarin orange note makes me feel fresh and glowy. I took a shower with my Aiken orange shower gel and wear this perfume after i took a shower in a rainy days, the result is i feel refreshing and wonderful. It stay 2 hours on my skin. What a great trick.Like i said this really changed my first impression and always believe other people few suggestion might be work for you.

The 30mL bottle is perfect for carrying around and travel. Excellent pick me up for long trips or long days stuck in the office. Not offensive and very cheerful. As mentioned previously, the amber really warms up the citrus and makes it lovely. Longevity: Weak, maybe 2 hours Sillage: pretty minimal But as I use it for travel, late meetings etc, you definitely wouldn't want a sillage bomb, nor something really expensive.
