Attraction One Intense by Avon

It’s a softer dupe of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, and it works great. I sprayed it an hour ago and it’s projecting a ton; let’s see how it evolves throughout the day… Edit after months: when it dries down, it reminds me of Black Orchid, but right out of the bottle, it smells like the freshness of Natura’s Ishpink, which I also love. I’ve never liked unisex perfumes because they always sounded too masculine to me. This is the first one that I truly like; it smells delicious and lasts a long time. I recommend it for night dates or going to the club.

It’s marked as EDP, but on my skin, it fades to skin-level in an hour or less. Total longevity is about 5 hours in my case. The scent isn’t novel, but it’s totally wearable for cold daytime climates; I find it lacks the punch for nighttime, except for a date in an enclosed space. It radiates a certain spicy warmth, without a definitive masculine tone, isn’t overly sweet, and doesn’t lean feminine. 50ml bottle at the unbeatable price Avon is used to giving us. Is it worth it? Yes, more for the price than for a standout scent; I’m afraid there are many fragrances with this same vibe. It simply fulfills its goal as an affordable perfume without standing out beyond that. For this vibe but more nocturnal and intense, I recommend even more Avon’s Segno.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Already on my second bottle. A friend from Avon gave me a sample, and I loved it at first sniff. I adore unisex scents that are woody, spiced, and earthy. Up close, you get cardamom, pepper, and coffee; the vanilla adds a soft sweetness without being cloying. It’s 100% for men, though I rarely see women wearing it since it doesn’t appeal to everyone. It has a masculine opening but isn’t overpowering; it’s warm and perfect for autumn/winter. The downside is longevity: on skin, it lasts 3-4 hours, but on clothes, it stays until you wash them. I’ve experienced this myself. I’m trying the citrus version next and hope it’s as great as the Intense. It vaguely reminds me of Ekos Alma de Natura, though Ekos is sharper and more masculine. I already own Ekos and love it. I 100% recommend this to women who enjoy masculine, warm, and spicy scents. The price is ridiculously low, so feel free to reapply. In short, I’m fascinated by this perfume.

Very exquisite, aphrodisiac, and magnetic. I love warm and spicy scents; I know it has a slightly masculine touch, but it’s very exquisite. It’s a scent that covers me and makes me feel secure. I detect notes of black pepper, sandalwood, coffee, and bergamot. It’s ideal for both men and women; I loved it; it’s exactly what I was looking for: an autumnal and very long-lasting perfume. For those who like spicy and long-lasting scents, I recommend it 100%. It’s not an expensive perfume and stands up to many retail brand fragrances.

I tested it alongside One Fresh, and honestly, I like both. The Intense is strong at first, like it wants to make a statement; you can tell it’s spiced with soft sweet and citrus notes (thank goodness, as citrus usually makes me dizzy, but here it was fine). After 30-60 minutes, the spice fades, the scent becomes softer and sweeter, though you still catch the pepper. The trail diminishes a bit, but it depends on humidity, temperature, and activity. The dry down is a subtle blend of spice, sweet, woody, and floral—comfortable to wear. Regarding the unisex claim, it holds up pretty well. After an hour, many might call it ‘feminine’ (I’m not quite sure what that means in this context), but in the opening and dry down, it doesn’t smell like ‘for him’ or ‘for her.’ If you’re non-binary and looking for something affordable that works, try one of these.

I tested a sample with One Fresh and think it’s a strictly masculine scent, perhaps softer and less woody, though I do detect woods like sandalwood along with the spiced saffron and pepper. I also sense vanilla and tonka bean, which soften it and give it a ‘unisex’ vibe, but I still see it as very masculine. It’s rich, but as a woman, I wouldn’t wear it; it doesn’t feel like me. Maybe my taste leans toward distinctly feminine fragrances. Everyone wears what they like, but for me, it’s not a favorite. It might smell great on a man’s skin, though perhaps too sweet. In summary, it’s a lovely perfume that men seeking warm, spicy, and slightly sweet scents will enjoy.

A beautiful fragrance alongside the One Fresh. Give it a try; then give it another, and you’ll see that you’ll fall in love with it. I would buy it again.
