Advantages: Smells nice

Disadvantages: expensive if not on offer

I love Avon's products and I do get excited looking through the brochure when it comes every few weeks. In particular I like the Avon Naturals Range and have been buying the room and linen sprays recently because they have been on offer.

The latest one I have just bought is 'strawberry and guava' which sounded delicious in the book..so does it live up to my expectations?

I have tried a few of the other fragranced room and linen sprays and have been pleased on most occasions with them. There are quite a few now in the range including:
*Apple and honeysuckle
*Black cherry and nutmeg
*Lavender and chamomile
* Apricot and sunflower

So onto the product..
Price and packaging~
The spray comes in a clear plastic, cylindrical bottle that tapers in slightly towards the top. It has a plastic clear pump and a plastic lid.
The actual spray is clear and is quite watery in consistency and this can be seen through the bottle.

I bought this product when it was on offer at 99p which for a 125ml bottle I thought was very reasonable. The normal price is £3.50 which for what it is I think is quite extortionate.

How to use~
Nothing too hard here; you remove the plastic lid and aim in the middle of the room or onto your desired linen and give two or three spritzes.

Does it work?~
I like this spray (as I do the others I have tried) and on spraying into the room there is a real strawberry aroma. I'm afraid I couldn't detect much gauva essence but maybe that's just my nasal passages!

I tried the spray on both my bedding and in my rooms and though the smell is initially there it doesn't linger and soon fades.

I found the air in the rooms seemed to hold onto the fragrance for longer than spraying directly onto my linen which surprised me as I expected it to be the other way around.

Summery~
A nice enough room spray that I don't mind paying less than £1 for but no way would I fork out full price for it as I simply think it's not worth it.

For those reasons I am deducting a star.
