Agree with Dodo. I wouldn’t recommend this for summer because the scent is too strong. At work, it felt overwhelmingly sweet, maybe due to my skin chemistry, so I stopped wearing it until winter. I bought it blind and didn’t like it at first, and I still don’t. To be honest, it’s a good fragrance, ideal for going out at night or for the office. The opening is potent with ginger, pepper, and leather; it’s aromatic and sweet. I know it says leather is a base note, but it’s noticeable right away, unless I’m mistaken. Rating: 7.6/10
Agree with Dodo. I don’t wear this in summer because it suffocates me. I tried it at the office and found it too sweet, perhaps due to my skin, and haven’t worn it since until now that it’s winter. I bought it blind and although it didn’t convince me at first, it does now. To be serious, it’s a good fragrance, ideal for going out at night or for daily office wear. The first impact is strong with ginger, pepper, and leather; very aromatic and sweet. I know it says the leather is a base note, but it’s noticeable at the start, or maybe I’m wrong. Rating: 7.6/10.
ATTRACTION SENSATION BY AVON: Smells good, though not one of the best. It reminds me a lot of Invictus, but with a sweet, fresh spicy touch that I like and smells clean. It’s a pleasant and comfortable scent. The problem is that it’s not original at all and the longevity is poor; you have to apply a lot and reapply every hour for it to last. Even though the bottle holds 75 ml, it finishes quickly. I see it as useful for any time of day or season, ideal for the office. Frankly, it’s not bad, but I won’t be buying it again. Scent: 8.0. Projection: first hour. Longevity: max 3-4 hours; from the second hour onward, it’s barely noticeable on the skin. For the price and what it gives, I recommend trying it before buying.
ATTRACTION SENSATION BY AVON: Smells good, though not a top-tier absolute. It’s very close to Invictus, but on my skin, it’s a sweet freshness with a very pleasant, clean peppery touch. It’s a pleasing and comfortable scent. The downside is that it’s nothing new and the performance isn’t great; you have to reapply it every hour and in quantity for it to last. Even though it comes in 75 ml, it runs out fast. I see it as versatile for any season, ideal for the office. Frankly, it’s not bad, but I won’t be buying it again. Scent: 8.0. Projection: first hour. Longevity: max 3-4 hours; after that, it’s barely noticeable unless you’re right up against the skin. For the price and what it offers, I recommend trying it before purchasing.
It reminded me of Invictus without that rubbery or salty vibe; it’s incredible how they achieve something similar with other notes, though it has its own personality. The best part is discovering that Avon’s high-end line actually delivers quality compositions; it feels soft to the nose, comfortable, and pleasantly persistent. It has a sour character with a subtle sweet nuance, like red candy, just to soften the acidity; it’s clean and perfect for the office or a white shirt. Recommended. UPDATE: Over time, I’ve grown to like it more and noticed new facets. The pepper is present in a different way—not traditional or spicy, but combined with sage to create a rich, non-gritty mineral accord, very different from the norm. I’m falling for it more and more. Again, the quality for the price stands out. FINAL UPDATE: With my collection of nearly 90 perfumes, I wore it again yesterday and then went out with my girlfriend. I was impressed: every time we hugged, she’d press it to her chest and inhale as if she were out of breath. She said it smells sweet, distinct, and not cloying at all, and she can smell it from a distance, even though I barely notice it myself.
