Avon makes some high end fragrances, and it also makes some lower end. I'm not necessarily talking about price. I'm talking about how they smell. Some are pungent; others are more demure. Most are long lasting. Some smell artificial on me; others are winners.
I'm an equal opportunist when it comes to fragrance. I wish I liked more inexpensive ones because I wear what I like, regardless of price.
Instinct is a lovely fragrance.
This is all I have on the notes:
A sultry oriental blend of sensuous musk and warm amber, with a whisper of exotic florals.
It smells wonderful from get go, and it stays wonderful. There is some movement. It's not all same-o same-o.
My 13 year old's unsolicited comment: You smell wonderful!
I do.
Yes, it's sultry, but it's not sleazy. It's not heavy on the musk or amber. And the florals stay good on me. They must not be just white florals. It's rather incensy on the whole. Just a great fragrance. It's not too heady for hot weather, which is what we are having.
And how can you beat the price!
Maybe it makes me think of the islands or Cuba. Hot and sultry, in touch with life. Living la vita loca. Or La Dolce Vita. A little wild and crazy, but good, and definitely cool.
I'm going to spritz another spritz.
Do you wear Instinct?
