Ordered it from Avon about two weeks after reading it smelled like mint, and indeed, it’s a delicious, refreshing mint with fresh floral notes. I use it daily and for the gym; the longevity is very good. If it’s from Avon, it doesn’t disappoint.
I picked this up at Avon a couple of weeks ago after reading a review saying it smells like mint, and wow, it really does: it’s a delicious, refreshing mint with fresh floral notes. I wear it for everyday and to the gym. The longevity is excellent. If it’s from Avon, it doesn’t disappoint.
Picked it up recently after reading a review promising a minty herb scent, and it delivered: smells like fresh mint with freshly cut flowers, very clean and refreshing. I wear it to the gym, and even though it’s from Avon, it does its job without disappointing.
I agree with those who say it’s a green floral; to me, it sounds more like minty herbs. It’s ideal for scorching hot days. It’s not a fragrance that’s overwhelming, but you’ll be glad to have it in your collection when it’s over 90 degrees. I usually mix it with the TODAY, TOMORROW, ALWAYS line, and believe me, for a summer heatwave, it’s like a cool, delicious cocktail. I don’t wear it much on its own, but I appreciate having these seasonal options.
When it launched in Argentina, I was an Avon reseller and 19 years old. My mom told me: ‘Invest, buy a couple of earrings and a perfume, so clients see that you use the products yourself.’ I bought Yessamin. I really liked it, and it helped me sell. Very youthful, without being that cloying girl perfume. Smelled like a bouquet of meadow flowers, very wearable. What a pity that perfumes like this are discontinued.
Yessamin brings back memories of the turn of the century; it was the olfactory line of the nineties. The name is a variation of jasmine, and that’s part of its essence. Besides jasmine, I detect chamomile, raspberry, or blackberry, a bit of wood, and notes similar to Benetton’s Tribu and Burberry’s Society from that era. It features an earthy touch that some might find dirty, but to me, it smells like an intelligent woman who leveraged a supplier to get a seemingly innocent bottle that hides the secrets of communion with the earth, the forest, rituals of love, and seduction. That’s what it conceals. I love it for its transgression, and the price is under $5.
A fresh scent, totally summery. Green floral, though personally I notice a slight fruity touch. It was my favorite as a teenager. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last long on my skin. It’s perfect for summer if you don’t like citrus perfumes much.
Floral, green—a green I can’t identify whether it’s grass, apple, or pear—and with a talc-like touch that makes it seem more expensive. Longevity is about 4 hours, good, depends on skin pH.
