Spectacular scent! A perfect blend of freshness, elegance, and seduction. It suits any age and is super versatile. The price is top-notch and the quality is excellent. I recommend it 100%!

Marine notes with mint and lavender: simple yet extremely clean and delicious, a pure compliment bomb. Fun anecdote: I tried Allure Homme Sport, and at first, it smells very similar, but then the aldehydes kill the marine and citrus opening, plus it has terrible performance—no sillage and only about 3 hours of longevity on the skin. This option is the right call: 6 hours of longevity, 1 hour of sillage, and moderate projection. Goodbye to aldehydes that smell like grandma’s perfume.

Marine notes with mint and lavender; simple yet incredibly clean and delicious, a compliment bomb. Anecdotal note: I tested Allure Homme Sport on my arm and it smelled very similar at first, but within minutes those aldehydes completely killed the rich marine and citrus opening, not to mention its terrible performance: zero sillage and skin longevity of about 3 hours. So this option is the right choice: 6 hours of longevity, 1 hour of sillage, and medium projection. No those horrific aldehydes that remind you of grandma’s perfume…

Reminds me a bit of Allure Homme Sport, but with far superior quality; it has a woodier, fresher twist. Super versatile, lasts a solid 5-6 hours, and projects well. Perfect for work.

Smells like Allure Homme Sport, though the quality isn’t comparable; it’s a bit more woody and fresh, quite versatile. Lasts well for 5 or 6 hours and projects nicely. Ideal for work.

“Nineties Imprint”: I bought it at a super price offered by the Avon consultant ($4), so I didn’t hesitate to buy blind. I like it, but it has that vibe of late-eighties/early-nineties summer perfumes; I can’t quite tell which one it resembles… Maybe PR XS or something similar. It’s pleasant, summery, and versatile, ideal for men over 35. Still, I’m used to more complex fragrances, so I wouldn’t buy it again.

Marine scent, great for spring and summer nights. I recommend it for ages 25 and up. One of the best things I’ve felt from Avon.

Marine opening, a great scent for spring and summer nights out. I recommend it for ages 25 and up. One of the best I’ve ever smelled from Avon.

I bought it blind and wow… it projects well and has good longevity. It feels somewhat woody, citrusy, and slightly sweet, with a medium elegant freshness that doesn’t quite reach the ‘sport’ level. I’m using it now in autumn for casual street outings, movies, or the mall; at around $13 here in Peru, it performs just as well, if not better, than any $80 designer brand. However, it doesn’t meet expectations for something like ‘In Black’, Intense, or Night as the name suggests; it would be if it had something spicier or sharper. I’d definitely buy it again. The packaging is chic but sober and basic, with a slightly oval cylindrical shape reminiscent of D&G. I give it an average of 8.5/10 across all performance metrics.

Hi everyone! Since this fragrance didn’t have any comments yet, I wanted to share my opinion. I bought it through the catalog for a daily perfume so I wouldn’t waste my better scents on special occasions. It was a blind buy since there was no tester in the booklet. I was really surprised by how good it is from Avon. It has great projection for the first hour, then softens, staying close to the skin without losing its presence; people next to you will definitely smell it. Longevity is about 6 hours. If you apply it on clothes, it lasts quite a bit. The scent is fresh, giving a clean feeling in the first 30 minutes, then it turns into a murky water vibe with woody notes emerging. I’d say it’s good for informal night outings, worth trying. Rating: 7/10.
