It's been a while since I last talked about a new fragrance I tried out. This one is not new per say, but it's new in my collection and I've been using it every day since I got it. It's quickly become my new favorite.

Review: Avon Little Sequin Dress Eau de Parfum
15 May 2017
I already have a few of Avon Little Dress fragrances and I have a review here. This is a range that features simple square bottles with variety of scents. There's something sophisticated, classic, fresher, ultra sweet and now something spring sweet. With the addition of Avon Little Sequin Dress you'll get something for those of you that like sweet fruits on sweet woody base with a hint of florals.
The bottle is a transparent square glass with transparent plastic top. Details are gold. In the back of the bottle is a design of sequins to represent its name. Spray pump works well. It comes in a paper box with a light pink design and silver sequins.
It's eau de parfum and in it is 50 ml of product. Regular price is 26€. Currently it's on offer for 20.50€ (Slovenia).
Avon describes this fragrance as a blend of mandarin, mango (top notes), gardenia, tropical flowers (middle notes), sensual musk and essence of the gold amber (Base notes). Fragrantica also listed sandalwood as one of the base notes.
The first splash of this fragrance gives you a very sweet fruity punch. I definitely smell mandarin and a lot of mango sweetness. Second after the first splash you get that floral note, which quickly turns into a more tropical scent like a mix of tropical fruit and flowers. After a while the fragrance turns into a sweeter woody one that really brings out all the classic base notes that I usually love so much in other fragrances.
If I had to describe it, I'd say that this it's a sweet tropical fruity floral fragrance. The base is quite sweet, but most of the time you get that strong scent of mango and hints of florals.
This scent starts off really strong, to the point where it's almost a bit too strong for my liking. It quickly fades away to a more subtle scent, but it's definitely not as long lasting on me as some other Avon fragrances.
If you like tropical scents of really sweet tropic fruits mixed with hints of florals, you'll definitely love this one. To me this is perfect fragrance to wear as the weather transitions from spring to summer. There's that floral note that's so commonly used for spring fragrances mixed with sweet tropical fruits that remind you of summer holidays. Combination of both gives you a quite strong scent which fades through the day fairly quick. It's a fairly basic sweet tropical fruity floral scent that sweet lovers will appreciate.

Že imam nekaj dišav iz Avonove linije Little Dress in ocene teh si lahko preberete tukaj. Gre za linijo dišav s preprostim kvadratnim dizjanom in večjim naborov vonjev. V liniji se najde nekaj bolj sofisticiranega, klasičnega, svežega, zelo sladkega in zdaj še nekaj bolj spomladansko sladkega. Z dodatkom nove Avon Little Sequin Dress je Avon dodal nekaj za vse, ki iščete sladko sadno dišavo z lesno sladko podlago in dodatkom ščepca cvetlic.
Steklenička je prozorna in ima obliko kvadrata. Pokrov je prozoren in plastičen. Detalji so v zlatih odtenkih. Na zadnji strani stekleničke je poslikava bleščic, ki predstavljajo ime dišave. Pumpica deluje v redu. Parfum dobite v škatlici, ki ima svetel roza dizajn s srebrnimi bleščicami.
Je parfumska voda in v steklenički se nahaja 50 ml izdelka. Redna cena parfuma je 26€. Trenutno jo lahko dobite za 20.50€ tukaj.
Avon opiše dišavo kot mešanico mandarine, manga (zgornje note), gardenije, tropskih rož (srednje note), senzualnega mošusa in esence zlatega jantarja (spodnje note). Fragrantica navaja še eno izmed spodnjih not in sicer sandalovino.
Prvi val dišave takoj po nanosu je močan sadni vonj. Vsekakor se dobro čuti mandarina in veliko sladkobe manga. Nekaj sekund po prvem nanosu opazim rožnate note, ki dišavo spremenijo v mešanico tropskega sadja in tropskega cvetja. Čez čas dišava postane bolj lesno sladka s klasičnimi spodnjimi notami, ki so mi tako zelo všeč v drugih dišavah.
Če bi morala opisati dišavo, bi rekla da je sladko tropsko sadno cvetlična dišava. Podlaga je precej sladka. Večino časa voham predvsem veliko manga s cvetličnim dodatkom.
Takoj pa nanosu dišave je ta izredno močna, skoraj malo preveč za moj okus. Sicer dokaj hitro postane bolj nežna verzija. Na meni dišava ni dolgo obstojna, vsaj ne tako kot več drugih Avonovih dišav.
Če imate radi tropske vonje z zelo sladkim tropskim sadjem zmešanim s cvetličnimi notami, potem vam bo ta dišava zagotovo všeč. Zame je to odlična dišava za prehod iz spomladanskega obdobja v poletno. Cvetlične note so pogosto uporabljene v spomladanskih dišavah. S sladko mešanico tropskega sadja me spomnijo na poletne počitnice. Kombinacija obojega se kaže v precej močni dišavi, ki pa čez dan dokaj hitro zbledi. Je klasičen sladko tropsko sadno cvetlični vonj, ki ga bodo občudovali vsi oboževalci sladkih dišav.

Review: Avon Imari Elixir
6 Apr 2017
My preferred taste in fragrances is everything that's a bit woody, musky, sweet and vanillary. I like fruity notes, but am not crazy about floral, although I've been changing my mind about that in the past couple of months. I've found some floral fragrances that don't smell like grandmas. Today it's all about a sweet and strong fragrance by Avon called Imari Elixir.
It has a somewhat rectangular bottle with cut off edges. I was attracted to it because of the black design paired with gold writing. Usually those colors represent something stronger and sexier. Paper box has the same theme.
In it is 50 ml of fragrance and the regular price is 20€. Currently you can get it for 11.90€ (Slovenia).
Spray works fine, but actually produces a large amount of liquid with one press.
It's an eau de toilette, so it's not as long lasting as perfume, but it has a strong power to it, so it still lasts well on my skin.
Avon says that it has notes of blackberry, rose absolute and vanilla extract.
I always love to check the notes on fragrantica and they describe it like so...
Base notes: patchouli, red amber and vanilla.
Middle notes: ylan-ylang, jasmine and rose.
Top notes: mandarin orange, green apple and blackberry.
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.
I am on the fence with this scent. It's really strong at a first sniff and I kind of dislike floral notes in it as it smells cheap. I do love it once it evolves into those sweet base notes. It's somewhat classic strong sweet vanilla scent with a punch of blackberry and a whiff of rose. To me it's the perfect fall fragrance, because it smells too sweet and feels too heavy for a spring or summer. If you're the ultimate lover of vanilla classics and like strong sweet scents then you'll probably love it.

Review: L'Occitane Folie Florale Petal-Soft Body Milk
20 Mar 2016
Hey Beauties!
I have a treat for you today. Lovely spring smelling body milk that will leave your body scented and moisturized. L'Occitane Cherry Blossom collection is huge and it offers variety of products all spring scented. I was trying out their Folie Florale Petal-Soft Body Milk and this will definitely be in my monthly favorites.
It comes in a transparent plastic bottle. The bottle has a rhombus shape if you look down at it. It's somewhat different to the usual bottle designs.
It also has nice cherry blossom details which are actually 3D printed into the bottle. Speaking of 3D, there is also Braille writing on the back.
Plastic silver top also looks like it's part of a magic bottle and it compliments the design nicely. I do have a problem with it though. The part that actually opens up is so small that I almost always break my nails, when I try to open it. This is a disadvantage to me. It looks pretty, but it's not functional, especially considering it's for women, who a lot of them have long nails and this would be very inconvenient.
L'Occitane says that this body lotion leaves the skin soft, moisturized and perfumed with a fruity, floral, sparkling scent. A cherry blossom floral water from the Luberon region of Provence reveals green, botanical notes that recall the delicate flowers. It's enriched with shea butter.
It costs 23.40€ and in it is 250 ml of product. You can buy it here. Here you'll also find the ingredients list.
It's pastel pink a bit more liquid body milk. It's thin in consistency and spreads easily. Shea butter in it makes it stick better and also make it feel slightly buttery. It's a really nice mix of regular light milk or lotion and a bit of butter for that slip and moisture.
It soaks into the skin quickly, but leaves behind slight bit of that shea butter layer, which moisturizes the skin and makes it feel soft. This is more of a lightweight moisture. My skin feels nourished and soft the next day and the best thing about it is that I can still smell it. I usually use body products in the evening, go to sleep and then recheck it in the morning.
If your skin is very dry, this probably won't be enough for you. But if you're looking for something lightweight with still good moisture effect, you'll like it.
It smells amazing, but you'd expect this from L'Occitane. It's such a unique mix of fruity sweetness and a bit of floral freshness. I would say that it's more on the gentle sweet fruity side. At least that's how I smell it and I adore the scent. It's perfect for spring and I can't wait for t-shirts to be in season, so I can smell it on me. As I said before, this still smells on me in the morning. It's a powerful scent as far as the long lasting power goes, but a gentle sweetness otherwise.
It's obvious that I really like this body milk. I've already used up more than half of it and I think I need to stop now, if I want to use this on warm spring days. It's a really nice lightweight moisturizing body milk and I love the unique thin consistency mixed with shea butter that leaves that soft layer on the skin. Smell is the star of it and you'll love it if you like fruity gentle sweet scents. The bottle is obviously just as gorgeous and would be a nice gift on itself, but the top is not practical. I encourage you to smell this, if you're near the store.

Review: Avon Mesmerize and Avon Mesmerize Black Eau de Toilette
17 Feb 2016
Hey Beauties!
I love woody oriental and sweet scents and today I have two of such to tell you about. Avon Mesmerize Black has been in Avon range for a while now, but Avon Mesmerize is a new fruitier addition. I am surely mesmerized by both of these.
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.

Review: Avon Outspoken Party by Fergie
21 Jan 2016
Hey Beauties!
Avon already has three scents from the Outspoken by Fergie line. Recently, they've added fourth one and it's just as amazing as many other Avon perfumes. As you've probably noticed on my blog, I like a lot of Avon products. There are two types of products that I really like from that company and those have to be lipsticks and perfumes. It helps that both are very affordable and of really good quality.
Avon Outspoken Party by Fergie comes in a very pretty dark purple paper box. The design is eye catching.
The bottle has just as pretty design and I'm sure you'll want to display it on your shelves. The perfume has fuchsia pink shade of liquid. The bottle is half transparent and the other half has almost rose gold metal detail. Shape reminds me of potion bottles.
Top to me looks like a diamond. Very luxurious, yet still playful looking. Something meant for younger women.
What I like about Avon perfumes the most is that their prices are very affordable. A lot more than in the drugstore. I also like the fact that all of their perfumes have at least 50 ml in the bottle. This one is also 50 ml and the regular price is 32€ (Currently you can get it for only 16.90€).
This is sweet woody fragrance. The top note is raspberry. In the middle you'll find peony. It finishes with base notes of sandalwood and creme brulee.
If you're sweet scents lover, you'll absolutely love this. First spritz gives you a very fruity sweet scent of raspberry mixed with floral note of peony. It starts off very subtle and sweet. Then it develops into a sultrier version of woody sandalwood, and later creme brulee adds nice sweetness to the woody notes.
The scents actually reminds me a lot of Britney Spears perfumes. One in particular, Midnight Fantasy. They both start off with a very sweet fruity note. Midnight Fantasy is a lot sweeter and a lot more fruity, while Outspoken Party is a more sophisticated wood based version. By no means are they dupes or even very similar once they're fully developed, but they are in that similar sweet fruits group of scents, although Outspoken Party smells more sophisticated because of the sandalwood.
Outspoken Party is also a lot less punchy and less strong. It has a nice staying power, but it's not sickly strong. I would almost say it's more on the subtle side of fragrances. I find that most of Avon perfumes last really well on my skin and this one does too, but I guess that depends from skin to skin.
I love fruity sweet scents from Avon and I really like this one too. It's a nice sophisticated woody version of all my other super sweet fruits scents from my collection. The bottle is gorgeous and the price is very affordable.

Avon ima v svoji ponudbi že tri parfume iz linije Outspoken by Fergie. Pred kratki se je trojčku pridružil še četrti član. Kot ste verjetno na mojem blogu že opazili, imam zelo rada Avon izdelke. Dva tipa njihovih izdelkov sta mi še posebej všeč in sicer šminke in parfumi. Oba tipa izdelkov sta precej poceni in za to ceno še vedno dobite res dobro kvaliteto.
Avon Outspoken Party by Fergie pride v zelo lepi temno vijolični kartonasti škatlici. Dizajn je vabljiv.
Tudi steklenička je lepa in prepričana sem, da jo boste z veseljem razstavile na svojo polico. Tekočina parfuma je v fuksijasti roza barvi. Pol steklenice je prozorne. Druga polovica ima roza zlat kovinski detajl. Oblika me spominja na stekleničke raznih magičnih napitkov izpod rok vračev.
Pokrov meni izgleda kot diamant. Zelo luksuzen, a še vedno razigran dizajn. Nekaj kar izgleda primerno za mlade ženske.
Kar mi je všeč glede Avon parfumov, je dejstvo, da so cene res dostopne. Veliko bolj kot večina parfumov iz drogerij. Všeč mi je tudi, da v vsakem od njihovih parfumov dobite vsaj 50 ml. Tudi v tem je 50 ml parfuma in redna cena je 32€. Trenutno lahko tega lepotca dobite za samo 16.90€.
To je sladko lesna dišava. V zgornji noti najdete malino. V srednjih notah je potonika. Konča se z osnovnima notama sandalovine in sladice creme brulee.
Če obožujete sladke dišave, potem vam bo ta zagotovo všeč. Prvi vonj, ki vas udari v nos je sadno sladka nota maline pomešana s cvetličnim vonjem potonike. Dišava se začne zelo subtilno in sladko. Kasneje se razvije v močnejšo verzijo lesne sandalovine in na koncu creme brulee doda sladkobo k lesni noti.
Vonj me precej spominja na Britney Spears parfume. Še posebej na Midnight Fantasy. Oba vonja se začneta z zelo sadno noto. Midnight Fantasy je veliko bolj sladek in saden, med tem ko je Outspoken Party bolj sofisticirana lesna verzija. Nikakor ne pravim, da sta obe dišavi zamenljivi ali da sta si zelo podobni, ampak obe spadata v to sladko sadno skupino dišav. Čeprav je Outspoke Party bolj sofisticirana zaradi lesne podlage.
Outspoken Party je prav tako manj močan vonj. Ima kar dobro obstojnost, ampak je bolj kot ne dokaj nežen vonj. Večina Avonovih parfumov se dolgo obdrži na moji koži in ta ni izjema. Seveda je to odvisno od kože do kože.
Obožujem Avonove sadno sladke vonje in tudi ta mi je zelo všeč. Je zanimiva sofisticirana lesna verzija napram mojim super sladkim sadnim vonjem iz moje kolekcije. Steklenička je čudovita in cena je zelo dostopna.

Review: Aldo Vandini Pure Eau de Parfum (White Magnolia and Cotton)
8 Jun 2015
Hey Beauties!
I've once posted a photo of this perfume
on my Instagram. I saw it in my local drugstore and my lovely cousin decided to
buy it for me on Easter. I've hand the hand cream from this
range before and when I saw I can also get a perfume, I was more than
excited.
The range is called Pure and it includes many other skin care
products. Perfume is a blend of magnolia
blossom, honey, rhubarb, peach, orange blossom, patchouli and vetiver. It
costs 16.99€ and you get 50 ml of it (I bought it in Müller). The
price is a bargain for such amount of product.
It has a nice transparent heavy glass bottle.
Magnolia blossoms are printed all over the bottle. I will say I can see the top
becoming loose and falling off with time.
Regular spray pump and it disperses perfume really
finely.
The smell is simply amazing. When you
spray it on it has a very sweet
fruity smell, which quickly
turns into a more sweet floral
scent and later becomes like
a comforting freshly washed
clothes mixed with slight floral and woody notes. I love it. It's
comforting, soft, yet kind of sweet and not too floral, because I don't like
floral scents in general. It really is a unique blend that would be loved by
many different people. This will be great summer fragrance, since it's not too
strong or too sweet.
I find that it lasts well. I wouldn't say it's
really strong as some other scents, but I think this is also due to the scent
itself, which is softer than most perfumes. I still smell it on my skin
at the end of the day, it's just not as intense, as when you spray it on. The
bottle is very convenient, so you can easily
carry it around and reapply
it, when you need more.
Maybe
I gave you an idea on what to use in the summer. If you like blend of floral
and sweet fruit, than definitely try it in the store and you may fall in love
with it, like I did. The price is amazing.
Review: Beckham Intimately Eau de Toilette
20 Apr 2014
Hey Beauties!
How was your Easter? If you follow me on Instagram, I posted a big basket that I got and it was full of chocolates. I think that this has become the main purpose of Easter for me.. new stash of chocolates - oh yeah! :)) I have also been hitting the gym, or fitness rather, and this Easter thingy is killing my routine of avoiding chocolate. I have a big weakness for chocolate, well actually anything sweet, to be completely honest. Enough said. Today's review is of Beckham perfume, which I actually got as a gift.
It's a 15 ml Eau de toilette. The bottle is so cute, because it's so small. I love the engraved Beckham sign at the top of the bottle. Classy in my opinion. I wish I would have a sign like that. It comes in a pink box. I don't know the price, but my guess is around 15 €.
The perfume is slightly pink colored. Even though it is a toilette, it's pretty strong in my opinion and it lasts a long time on me. The smell to me is very floral and somewhat classy. It's not overbearing sweet, but just enough. Since I am bad at explaining the smells, let's see the notes.
Top notes: Bergamot, White Flowers, Rose.
Middle notes: Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Casablanca Lily.
Base notes: Vanilla, Musk, Sandalwood.
It's not my typical smell, because I do love very sweet perfumes. I think I like this one, because it's a lot more sophisticated smell. It starts very floral, but then after a while it gets my kind of sweet smell. The base notes are very typically sweet my-kind-of notes :). I wouldn't normally notice Beckham perfume, because it's not my kind of style, but I got this perfume as a gift and was surprised by how much I liked it. Ever since I got it, I use it every day. Now I'm afraid that I'll run out of it and miss it :).
Did you try any of the Beckham perfumes and how do you like them?

Review: Avon City Rush perfume
27 Feb 2014
Hey Beauties!
It's been so long since I bought any new perfumes. The reason being, I believe I have too many, as it is. Do you have a lot of perfumes as well? But this smelly thing, was on my wish list since I tested it in the Avon catalog and then once, I just bought it. In general, I really like Avon perfumes, especially because they have amazing sizes (mostly 50 ml of product) for very reasonable prices.
The perfume I bought is called City Rush. In my opinion it's the perfect spring perfume, because it has quite strong, yet fresh smell. It's of course more on the stronger and sweeter side, like all my perfumes. For some this wouldn't pass as a day smell, but for me it does.
Top notes: Ivy, Bergamot and Plum
Middle notes: Vanilla Orchid, Rose and Dahlia
Base notes: Musk, Patchouli and Woody Notes
It starts very fresh and later becomes pretty strong woody smell. I like the fact that I can smell some sweetness as well as the woody muskiness in it. Pretty strong as far as the formulations goes. If you don't like strong smells, this is not for you. On me it's very long lasting, but then again, most of the perfumes are. This really depends on your skin.
The bottle is nice, very sturdy. Perfume looks a bit yellow in the bottle and the graphic on it is gold. Definitely looks nice on any shelf.
The perfume contains 50 ml of product and the price varies, like do all the prices in Avon. I bought it for 17 € and I think the full price is 30 €.
I would recommend this smell to anyone who likes very strong, a bit more sophisticated smells, with a very strong woody note to it.
