When I got the free sample of Avon's outspoken I genuinely thought, 'oh another celebrity perfume thats going to smell awful!' However in good spirits i dabbed a tiny bit on my wrist and found it to be a pleasing smell but a little strong for my liking. After about an hour I met up with some friends and was telling them about it, when we had another sniff and it was a really fresh yet natural smell, not overly flowerly smelling or too harsh. I went home and almost immediately ordered the bottle, which was only £14 with the free body wash and lotion, which is a complete bargain in comparison to these other 'celebrity perfumes', costing almost half the price. I genuinely think even a small amount of the perfume is too strong straight away but after leaving it ten to fifteen minutes, it a really beautiful smelling fragrence which is very female distinctive and a bargain for what you get! The bottle is also very beautiful, a rich, dark purple in a fabulous arabian shaped bottle, that fits perfect in your handbag! I shall definately be looking more carefully in the Avon book in future!
