I've never bought any of the Avon perfumes and must say that I was very pleasantly surprised!
The packing is lovely - a gorgeous box that speaks directly to the type of scent that you're going to unbox. The bottle itself is very comfortable to hold and I loved the 'illusion' of the lace on the one side peeking through the bottle. The bottle has a powerful spray action and the spritz of perfume was quite large, covering a biggish area.
I used this on a night out, which was great! It did need to be reapplied after a few hours(± 5/6 hours), but just to top up that first spritz scent. The undertones of the dark patchouli definitely hung around for longer that the first smell of the slightly citurssy-mandarin notes. It deepens as time goes on.
It was easy enough to pop the bottle into my bag so I could reapply it as needed. It's not an overpowering smell, yet it is a strong and sophisticated one. It looks a lot more luxurious than expected for the price point and it is bang on point in terms of the scents popping up in 2017. It could easily be worn as a day perfume too - slightly more intense than a day-to-day floral or citrus scent, as the mid-notes of iris carry it over that mark.
It's definitely changed my opinion of trying Avon scents.
