Advantages: nice bottle, nice aroma and a good all round perfume

Disadvantages: as with all perfumes.... smells different on each person

I am a big fan of Avon, but i had never tried any of their perfumes, i decided to treat myself and as this one was on offer at the time i thought i would give it a try. within the brochure the page advertising this perfume was smelly, i love the way Avon do this, you can rub your wrist over the page (they include several pages of this for different fragrances each brochure) and the smell is transfered to your wrist so you get to see what the fragrance smells like on your skin.
I tried this and after an hour or so the fragrance seemed what i was looking for, something i could wear as a daytime perfume but could also get away with wearing on a night out.
The bottle is green in colour and has a decorative lid, it has a spray button beneath the lid for ease of application. the bottle in my opinion is pretty and would look good on your dressing table but i always store perfume in the original boxes, perfume should not be exposed to light as this can change the aroma and make the perfume 'go off'.
All perfumes suit different people, perfumes smell different on different people so what is suitable for one will not be for another.
I would recommend that anyone looking to buy this should try before you buy, although i feel it suits me you should ask your avon rep for a free sample (which they can obtain for a matter of pence and a small sample of the perfume will come in a minute clear bottle). This will give you the chance of seeing what the perfume smells like on your skin.
Ifeel this could make a good gift for anyone as it looks good, it is not too heady and has a good all round fragrance which would suit women of all ages.

Summary: Avon perfume which wins with me but might not win with you
