Absolute by Exclusive by Avon

Does anyone know what perfume is still in production and smells exactly like this? 🙏🏻 It’s a pity they stopped selling it. It was one of Avon’s best, maybe the best. It smells sweet and rich, but as it fades, it leaves a unique clean scent that’s hard to match. It’s for going out, not for the office; it goes perfectly with a black suit or semi-formal attire.

It’s a BBB: good, beautiful, and cheap. The real magic is that it blends perfectly with other perfumes for layering lovers. It has great longevity and projection without being cloying. I find it ideal for daily use due to its quality, and especially its excellent price.

Top fragrance; everyone nailed their descriptions, though it has a touch that reminds me of CK One Shock and another one I can’t quite name.

Since Natura acquired it, Avon perfumes improved 100%. You can tell they use organic alcohol, and it’s incredible to get an Eau de Toilette for $10 that feels more like an EDP, with very assimilable oud notes. I detect leather, a touch of sweet vanilla, and lavender; it’s powdery, incense-heavy, and very masculine. Women are fascinated by it; some even buy it for their sheets. It lasts up to 8 hours on skin, projects for about 5, and on clothes, it’s still detectable even after washing. Obviously, it’s not for young people; some find it smells like something for the elderly. In Brazil, it was cataloged as perfume of the year, and in the US, they call it the cheap perfume that smells expensive. Don’t buy blind because it’s an oriental scent.

I love that Avon is creating high-quality fragrances at accessible prices; it smells superior, nothing synthetic or vulgar. It feels ethereal yet persistent, lasting days on clothes and up to 6 hours on skin, which is perfect since I always carry the bottle with me to reapply. It’s a delight, and I highly recommend it because it’s an easy-to-love scent that’s hard to offend anyone with. For the love of God, get it before they discontinue it.

Avon Masterpiece. I’m completely surprised by this fragrance; very rarely do I allow an Avon perfume into my collection—not because it’s cheap or catalog stuff, but because many perfumeries selling this way release designer-inspired colognes at low costs for those who can’t spend more, and I prefer something more original in terms of scent. The first thing that caught my attention was the claim of oud as a main note; I consider myself an avid oud lover, so I decided to give it a try. What a pleasant surprise: the oud note is present from start to finish. It’s woody, medicinal, balsamic, and yes, synthetic, but most designer perfumes with oud notes share that quality, so for $14, we shouldn’t ask for more. On the opening, you can feel the freshness of lemon, but that sensation lasts only a few seconds before dissipating quickly, revealing spicy, ambered, woody notes with a pleasant balsamic dry-down. It feels slightly alcoholic, giving a sensation of an alcoholic beverage, like cognac. Although few notes are described, a very pleasant cinnamon note is perceived, generating sensuality and romance. After 3 hours, I could detect a leather note—not animal leather, but a soft leather that, combined with the oud, feels medicinal, ambered, and sophisticated. In this facet, there are certain similarities with Natura’s Essential Oud; in fact, there are common notes. However, Essential Oud is sweeter, less versatile, and spicier, so while there are similarities, there are also differences, and in the dry-down, these two fragrances take distinct paths. If you’re just starting in the world of oud, both Absolute and Essential are excellent options to get familiar with the note. Therefore, if you like Natura’s Essential Oud, you’ll likely like this fragrance—it’s a more versatile and less spicy version. Conversely, if you don’t know Essential Oud but liked this fragrance, I invite you to try it; you won’t regret it. In summary, I think this fragrance is excellent, pleasant, projects for 1.5 hours, has skin longevity around 8 hours, and lasts a bit longer on clothes. The trail is moderate, though in temperatures above 40 degrees, overapplication can become invasive. The halo it produces is very noticeable, easily perceived by people around you. Price/quality gets a 10, originality gets a 9.

Leonardo da Vincho and Allan 27880, I agree with both; apparently, it’s a matter of marketing in each region, but it’s also true that the declared notes don’t match. However, I own the Sensus Absolute, and I must say, it’s an excellent fragrance that smells refined, and its performance on clothes is much better than on skin. I really like the scent; I feel it’s ideal for cold climates. It has generated compliments, and when asked what I was wearing, they couldn’t believe it was an Avon. Obviously, proposals have emerged that, without being designer or prestigious, have surprised us all. Personally, I consider this Sensus Absolute and Avon’s Black Suede Intense to be among the best I’ve tried in recent times, and given the price, it’s well worth owning two of each. Cheers, friends, and happy 2021.

I haven’t tried this Avon creation; rather, what I have tried is the Absolute by Sensus from Avon, and it’s extraordinary. We’ve proven that not everything from this house is good or bad, but this Absolute by Sensus is literally a masterpiece—a fragrance that smells refined, asking for nothing from Armani, Chanel, Dior, or whatever. It’s a robust, strong, pleasant, and refined aroma. For its price, it’s an authentic gem. It’s a high-quality scent with generous performance. Scent: 9.0, Projection: 7.0, Longevity: 8.0.
