It starts with a very strong sweet fruity note, a bit berry like. As it evolves it becomes more floral and I kind of dislike this stage. It smells a bit like floral toilette re-fresheners. Too green and floral for my taste. I love it the most at the end stage when it becomes deeper and sweeter. It's also not as strong as with the first spritz that just hits you in the nose like a wave of fruity sweetness. In the end I smell it more as a vanilla sweet fragrance, very classic, but still strong for something that is eau de toilette. 

Both of these scents have pretty much the same packaging, just the color scheme is different. They come in box in black or blue with a gold writing and decorative curvy design. It looks oriental to me. 

The glass bottles look really nice with the gold design and the top is metal gold. I like that these bottle are thinner and smaller than I expected. I like to throw these in the bag to carry with me, because they're not huge or super intricately designed like most other perfumes. 

Spray works great and produces a fine mist.

Regular price of each is 26€, but Avon always has discounts. Currently you can get them for only 17.90€ (Slovenia). In each is 50 ml of product. You can buy Avon products through Avon sellers or find official Avon page in your country.

Avon Mesmerize Black

Mesmerize Black is floral oriental woody fragrance. It has notes of mandarin, jasmine and Australian sandalwood. 

First punch serves you with a very warm oriental woody scent. Mandarin is the only note that gives it a tad of freshness, but it really is a very strong and oriental scent. Later it becomes more of a lighter version, because of jasmine and in the end I really notice sandalwood as the note that stay on the skin for the longest time.

It's one of those exotic strong scents, which would be more suited for evening. I really like stronger scents and sandalwood is one of my favorite base notes. 

Avon Mesmerize

Mesmerize is one of the newest scents by Avon and  it's described as oriental floral fruity fragrance. It has notes of white peach, pink peony and sandalwood. 

On the contrary to stronger Black scent, this one is a bit more subtle, a lot sweeter and fruity, but still very oriental.

White peach is definitely the star of this scent. It's the first punch once you spritz it on skin and the sweetness of it lasts all through the day. Pink peony gives it a slight hint of floral, but not for a long time. At the end it's all about the sweetness and sandalwood. It's not as strong as Black, but a bit more subtle although it still kicks a nice strong base. 

I really like how a very sweet fruity scent is mixed with woody notes. It's an interesting combination, especially for those who like stronger scents, but also very sweet with bases like musk, sandawood, amber and top it off with fruits.

Both of these are Eau de Toilettes, which would mean that they're not as long lasting as Eau de Parfum. This is correct for Mesmerize Black, which actually fades away fairly quickly, but starts off a lot stronger than Mesmerize. I can't say the actual hours, but I'd say I almost can't smell it anymore after 5 hours. Whereas Mesmerize is a lot more long lasting. So much that I wouldn't call it toilette anymore. I can still smell it at the end of the day, so this is what, after 12 hours. I especially notice that it's still there, because I work out in the evening and the scent gets even stronger with me sweating. But keep in mind it's less powerful than Black in terms of the scent itself.

I adore both of these scents. In general, I love oriental, woody and sweet fragrances, so both of these are right up my alley. I like to wear Mesmerize Black for when I'm feeling a bit more edgy and I go for Mesmerize when I want that romantic dose of sweetness. Those scents are definitely not for those who like fresh, citrus or subtle floral fragrances. It's basically the opposite of those.

*Products were sent to me by Avon.

Obožujem lesne orientalske in sladke vonje in danes imam za vas dva taka. Avon Mesmerize Black je bil med Avonovim naborom že kar nekaj časa. Pred kratkim so mu dodali še sadno verzijo imenovano Avon Mesmerize. Vsekakor sem navdušena nad obema. 

Oba vonja imata praktično enako embalažo samo barvna shema je drugačna. Prideta v škatli z črno ali modro podlago in zlatim napisom. Ob straneh je dekorativen zlat vijugast dizajn, ki meni deluje precej orientalsko. 

Steklenički izgledata zelo lepo z zlatim dizajnom in zlatim kovinskim pokrovom. Všeč mi je, da sta steklenički tanki in precej majhni. Bolj kot sem pričakovala, da bosta. Ta parfuma rada vržem v torbico za na pot, ker sta dovolj majhna in nimata preveč izumetričnih oblik, kot večina embalaž drugih parfumov.

Sprej deluje dobro in dozira fino meglico.

Redna cena teh je 26€, ampak Avon ima vedno kakšna znižanja. Trenutno ju lahko dobite za samo 17.90€. V vsakem je 50 ml izdelka. Izdelke lahko kupite preko Avon posrednikov ali se obrnete na Avon Slovenija.

Avon Mesmerize Black

Mesmerize Black je cvetlično orientalsko lesna dišava. Vsebuje note mandarine, jasmina in avstralske sandalovine. 

Prvi vonj, ki ga začutite je topel orientalsko lesni vonj. Mandarina je edina, ki dodaje tej dišavi svežino, ampak v resnici je vonj bolj orientalski. Kasneje postane nekoliko lažji, zaradi jasmina in na koncu zelo prevladuje sandalovina, ki najdlje ostane na koži.

Je en teh eksotičnih močnih vonjev, ki bi bil bolj primeren za večere. Meni so zelo všeč močni vonji in sandalovina je ena mojih najljubših podlag v parfumih. 

Avon Mesmerize

Mesmerize je ena Avonovih novejših dišav in opisana je kot orientalsko cvetlično sadna dišava. Vsebuje note bele breskve, roza potonike in sandalovine.

Nasportno od Black vonja, je ta veliko bolj nežen, bolj sladek in sadni, ampak še vedno s pridihom orientalskega vzdušja.

Bela breskev je zvezda te dišava. Je prav stvar, ki jo vohamo ob nanosu in dišavi dodaja sladkobo skozi ves dan. Roza potonika doda rahel cvetlični pridih, ki pa ne traja dolgo. Na koncu je najbolj čutiti sladkobo bele breskve in sandalovino. Ni tako močna dišava kot Black, ampak nekoliko bolj subtilna verzija, čeprav je njena baza še vedno kar močna.

Zelo mi je všeč kako je kombiniran sadno sladki vonj z lesnimi notami. Zanimiva kombinacija, še posebej za tiste, ki imajo radi močne a tudi sladke vonje z podlagami kot so mošus, jantar in sandalovina, ki jih povrhu krasi sadje. 

Oba vonja sta toaletni vodici kar pomeni, da naj ne bi bila tako dolgo obstojna kot parfumske vode. To drži za Mesmerize Black, ki skozi dan izpuhti kar hitro, čeprav se začne veliko bolj močno kot Mesmerize. Ne morem govoriti o dejanskih urah, ampak recimo, da ga po petih urah več ne voham. Kar pa ne drži za Mesmerize, ki je zelo dolgo obstojen. Tako zelo, da si ne bi mislila, da gre za toaletno vodo. Ob koncu dneva po 12 urah ga lahko še vedno voham na svoji koži. To še posebej opazim, ker telovadim zvečer, ko začne parfum še bolj dišati zaradi mojega potenja. Ampak ne pozabite, da je kot sam vonj velik bolj nežen in manj močan kot Black.

Obožujem oba vonja. Na splošno so mi zelo všeč orientalski, lesni in sladki parfumi, zato sta oba čisto po mojem okusu. Mesmerize Black nosim, ko se počutim bolj drzno in Mesmerize zagrabim, ko si želim nekaj te romantične sladkobe. Ti dišavi vsekakor nista za nekoga, ki ima rad lahko sveže citrusne vonje ali nežne cvetlične. Dišavi sta pravzaprav nasprotje tega. 

*Izdelke mi je poslalo podjetje Avon.

I was introduced to this smell often times by my fellow beauty bloggers and I think even smelled it once in the store, but didn't really like it. Until I actually sprayed it on me and met heaven. Coconut heaven. I bought it immediately.

It costs only 9€ for 100 ml. Yes, it's a eau de toilette so it's not as strong as a perfume and the scents lingers away quicker. 

It comes in a simple glass bottle with brown top,which resembles the color of coconut.

Spray pump produces a very fine mist.

I love the fact that the liquid is muted white, which almost makes you feel like there's coconut milk in it.

It smells truly like a coconut should smell. Forget the nasty coconut water smell, which by the way I hate (and that's an understatement). This will make you crave Bounty and take you to the paradise beach.  It's truly one of a kind smell. 

The only thing I don't necessarily like about it, is the fact that the smell goes away pretty quickly. It's not as strong as perfumes, but if your pair it with other fragrances, it will stay on the skin longer. 

Mateja likes to top other fragrances with this one, so she gets a more coconut-ier version of those scents. She introduced me to a killer combo that I'll talk about now.

I love to pair it with Victoria's Secret Coconut Passion Fragrance Mist. Victoria's Secret is a more tropical vanilla stronger scent and Yves Rocher is a pure coconut. The combination of the two is like a cocktail of everything that's good about summer and sweet coconut desserts. 

This has quickly become one of my favorite fragrances and the combination with Victoria's Secret fragrance mist is genius. I've been wearing it all summer and I'm sure I'll still be wearing it in the fall and winter. If you're a coconut freak buy this, I guarantee you, you won't be sorry. The price is ridiculous.
