    Cold weather in Argentina and I’m dying to have it. Thanks to this, I realized how much I love warm, spicy fragrances. It’s been discontinued for years, but Avon brought back the deodorant for some reason; it will surely run out, but I hope it’s a sign they’ll bring back the bottle.

    I tried it when it launched in ’97 and honestly, I couldn’t stand it; I swapped it with my sister for an Obsession lotion that blew my mind. It was super long-lasting with great sillage, but it just wasn’t for my nose. It became insanely popular and the whole air smelled like Millennia.

  3. What a special scent! The first spray feels exquisite, but once it dries down, it smells even better. That said, I use very few sprays because it’s very potent. For what it’s worth, it’s an incredible perfume.

    Still available in Argentina. It smells great, but I wish it lasted longer. I was disappointed by the longevity; it lasts a few hours and then fades away. It leaves no trace on skin or clothes. What a shame because the scent is beautiful, like flowers soaked in wild honey with spices. Maybe better for winter; in summer, it lasts nothing.

    Still available in Argentina. It tastes great, but the longevity disappointed me; I expected more. It vanishes in a couple of hours without leaving a trace on skin or clothes. What a pity because the aroma is beautiful, like flowers soaked in wild honey with spices. Maybe it’s better for winter; in summer, it lasts nothing.

  7. I tried it online when it launched and loved it. I didn’t buy it then, but now I got it and it seems like a lovely perfume, sweet with a spicy touch that gives it a unique feel on the skin. I can’t tell which flower remains spicy after drying.

  8. I had zero expectations and was blown away: it’s warm and spicy but has a powdery floral touch that makes it unique. I have nothing like it; it lasts forever. I recommend applying it to the nape of the neck so it doesn’t overwhelm your head. It smells like bouquets of dried flowers with cinnamon and clove twigs.

  9. I had zero expectations and it surprised me. It smells warm and spicy with a powdery floral hint that makes it unique. I don’t have anything like it. I love how well it lasts; I recommend applying it to the nape of your neck so it doesn’t overwhelm you or give you a headache. It’s like a bouquet of dried flowers with cinnamon and clove twigs. It reminds me exactly of that.

    I loved it; it’s delicious! Very sweet, spicy, warm, intense, and floral, super feminine. It’s on the same line as my favorite Far Away from Avon: classics, powerful, and powdery. It’s not a trendy gourmand; it’s a sweet floral, absolutely delicious. In Argentina, it’s a good price. I recommend it to those who love sweet scents but avoid bakery-style perfumes; watch out with the sprays because it’s potent and can be overwhelming. It’s more mature than adolescent, formal, and seductive, very versatile. Ideal for night dates or the cold autumn/winter here. I wouldn’t use it in summer. It’s an Avon gem.

  11. I loved it, smells delicious. Very sweet, spicy, warm, intense, floral, and feminine. It’s in the same vein as Far Away (my favorite Avon scent along with Imari Elixir); they aren’t the same but share a style: classic, powerful, sweet, spicy, and powdery. Millenia has a powdery note, but less than Far Away. It’s not a trendy gourmand; it’s floral and absolutely delicious. In Argentina, it’s available at a good price, very affordable. I recommend it to all women who love sweet and powdery fragrances and want to step away from the typical bakery-like scents. Don’t use too many sprays, it can be overwhelming due to its potency. It’s more mature than teen-focused; I love its formal and seductive touch, very versatile. I’d wear a few sprays for a night date; it’s feminine and attractive. With the cool/fresh weather starting in Argentina, it’s perfect for fall-winter. I wouldn’t use it in spring (except at the very beginning when it’s still fresh) or summer; I just can’t tolerate it in the heat. Aside from that, it’s marvelous and I’d buy it again. If you get the chance, try it (it’s not for blind buying and not for everyone), but for me, it’s an Avon gem.

  12. This spicy and sweet Avon bomb is hard to define. Before, I felt it was stronger or maybe I was very young; perhaps they reformulated it. I love it on fresh days because it warms me up. In the dry-down, it smells like rice pudding (sweet, creamy, vanilla, though not listed in the notes). It has a vibe of nutmeg, sandalwood, and cardamomo that lasts hours, softening over time. Finally, close to the skin, it smells like sweet potato with lots of vanilla. I still find it in the Avon flyer in Argentina.

    It’s deep, mysterious, and very feminine. At first, the spices dominate, then a sweetness remains with bergamot and special sandalwood. I have nothing like it. For daily wear, I find it heavy; better for winters or special events with moderation. It was hard for me to use because it seemed very serious; maybe people over 30 will love it. It’s a warm, spicy floral with depth, seriousness, and a soapy hint.

  14. Replying to mithos: for me, it was always a softer version of Givenchy’s Organza, perhaps due to the nutmeg. I haven’t seen it here in Argentina for years. It’s a different and very particular scent.

  15. Luxury perfume, the spices are absolutely wild. Just a heads-up: if you overdo it, it gives you nausea. Perfect for cold weather.

  16. In my opinion, it smells undefined and not feminine at all. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s one of those perfumes I neither like nor dislike. The longevity on my skin was about 5 hours. One detail: it’s easy to find in Uruguay.

  17. To me, it smells undefined and not very feminine. I don’t hate it, but it doesn’t win me over either. Lasted about 5 hours on my skin. By the way, it’s easy to find here in Uruguay.

  18. Does anyone know what current perfume this reminds you of? It hasn’t been available for years and I can’t find anything similar.

  19. Rich, sweet, and sensual scent; the musk and wood give it that special touch. Lasted over 4 hours on skin and 6 hours on clothes. Great value for the price. Recommended for winter or outdoors. Watch your用量, too much can bother others. If you’re looking for something sweet, woody, and affordable, this is it. Best for girls 20 and up.
