Whilst it was reduced to £5 on special offer, I bought a 50ml bottle of Avon's Rare Gold after first sampling it through my Avon rep friend and deciding it was worth the money. Firstly, my bottle of Rare Gold looks nothing like the photo above - the perfume comes in a clear, almost upside-down teardrop shaped glass bottle, through which you can see the lovely coloured golden peachy perfume liquid inside. There is a pale gold lid sitting on top of this and the top of the lid is rounded off with a large dome of amber coloured transparent plastic or resin. The bottle isn't amazing, but it's a lot better than the one Dooyoo have pictured, so I'm guessing it's been ...  Read the complete review

This is another of the Rollette ones that I tried from Avon a while back. It didn't appeal to me much as I thought it was more aimed at older people, but a few months back there was an offer of 2 for £4 on a range of Body Sprays and the Rollette's, so I got 2 different ones to try. At £2 each it seemed a good buy, and I thought if I didn't like it then i'm sure my gran would have liked it anyway.

I love getting an Avon catalogue through my door, as I love rubbing my wrist along the scented pages and trying out different perfumes this way - even though I know they never smell exactly the same this way as the real thing does. A little while back they had a perfumed page for Rare Gold, which was also on a half price special offer (£5 down from £10) and I liked it so much I decided to buy a bottle. A week or so later, and my lovely Avon rep delivered my bottle to my door. My bottle didn't look like the image above, instead it was a chunky rounder clear glass bottle, slim at the base and wider at the top, with a metallic lid topped with an amber piece of ...  Read the complete review

I am only 23 but over the years I have been through almost every perfume on the shelves. Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbanna, Bodyshop vanilla was a favourite for a while but alas none I consistently stuck with. My mum actually bought this perfume for someone else but they never collected it so I nabbed it for myself :) I have not looked back since! the bottle I have is 50ml but it lives in my handbag (as I am one of those people who carries everything but the kitchen sink) and I spray it whenever I am just going to work, or out to dinner with friends and I ALWAYS get compliments asking what I am wearing as it smells expensive. I didn't actually pay .  Read the complete review
