Urban Flowers New York

I absolutely adore this! I used up every sample that I should have shared with my customers until I finally received my bottle! Urban Flowers New York feels sexy, refined and a little mysterious. The citrus and orange blossom give it a wonderful burst of freshness, and the orchid, rose, sandalwood and patchouli offer a wonderful depth, that lingers closely to the skin. Wonderful fixation and sillage on me! My only beef here is that it has a cheesy plastic cap. Which I suppose shouldn't bother me since they all sit in boxes in my drawer anyway. It's still nice to have a pleasurable tactile experience when using it..... I must stock up on this gem, as I fear it, along with the others that I've fallen for will be discontinued.

I bought this one in an avon clearance brochure when they must have been discontinuing this fragrance some time ago. That's really sad when I love it so much. It's a nice light pretty fragrance for daytime. It doesn't have much staying power, but who cares, just reapply half way through the day. I like that it looks purple too for some weird reason.

I love this parfume..It's my favorite

Well over a decade ago (more like a decade and a half) I went through 2 or 3 bottles of this fragrance. I do not even know how it came onto my radar, but I remember that one thing I really liked about it was the minimalist bottle and the purple juice inside. Growing up my mom wasn't super into fragrance, but she'd occasionally buy an avon scent from a co-worker who was selling it, so I guess maybe there was a nostalgia factor when I was in my early 20s. At the time I was very into fresh fragrances and I was still very loyal to my beloved l'eau d'Issey. UFNY seemed like a super girly perfume to me at the time, and I think it has a very classic early 2000s youthful femininity pyramid with the fruits on top, flowers in the middle, and musk/patchouli in the base. It was definitely easy to wear and non-offensive. While I do not miss it in my collection after all of these years, remembering the place it held in my life fondly is very pleasant. If I stumbled across something that smelled like this, or maybe a more sophisticated version of this, I think it would be a lovely surprise stroll down memory lane. Avon now seems to have really attempted to break away from the old guard of their classic fragrances and entice younger noses in a different way (as in, not just flankers of your mom's or grandma's scent) but at the time the Urban Flowers line came out it was very different and fun. This is probably the fragrance that made me love a good "jeans and tshirt" kind of scent.

Urban Flowers New York was a pleasant surprise for me. A fairly typical fruit and flowery opening yields after an hour or so to a scent that reminds me of Caron Pour Une Femme on my skin. This one is listed in our database as floral fruity but I would describe it as chypre fruity instead, and not overly sweet. Yes, there are plenty of fruits in this one, but they're a bit tart and green. There are enough dry flowers and that lovely woody base to keep it from being too sweet. The dry-down is absolutely gorgeous. Caron Pour Une Femme is a powerhouse in terms of sillage, and might be a bit too much for daytime or occasions when you'll be sharing space with others. Urban Flowers New York comes on a bit softer would be a wonderful alternative for those situations. Another lovely surprise from Avon! Bravo!
