Even though a few years ago I had never tried an avon product in my life, I suddenly find that my dressing table is filling up with various avon fragrances that I have received as gifts.

This particular eau de toilette is from Avon's be kissable collection, which was launched on Valentine's Day 2006. My bottle holds 50ml, and is available on ebay from as little as £2 to £12.99.

The bottle itself looks quite cheap in my opinion, and not as nice as some of the other avon fragrances that are on my dressing table. The bottle is quite tall, with a deep pink lid complimenting the pink tinted fragrance inside. Across the front of the bottle, Avon has emblazoned the name 'be.....kissable'.

An initial spray of this gives a rather strong, musky scent, but once it settles, there is a nicer fruitiness to the smell. In fact, the fragrance includes top notes of yuzu, ginger blosson and coriander, as well as notes of pinl freesia, frangipani and violet, with a hint of milky sandalwood included. Now I'm afaid to say that the only scent I get from this fragrance is a light fruity one when it has settled.

Once the fragrance has settled, I don't mind the scent, however, may main problem with this eau de toilette, is that it does not last AT ALL. In fact after at least an hour, I can no longer smell it on the back of my wrist, and even though it is a nice light spray to have on during the recent hot weather, you need to respray this every few hours, otherwise it is pointless in using it. I have now found myself simply trying to use it up now, by spraying several times a day.

This is a very disappointing fragrance from Avon, even though I have actually quite liked some of the other scents available from this company. There is almost an immature feel to this perfume, in that its packaging seems to be aimed more at young teenage girls, as opposed to older women.

All in all though, if a fragrance does not even last until lunch time, I feel it is pointless buying it, and so will continue to simply use up this eau de toilette when I am at home, but I will certainly not be relying on wearing it on a night out.
