The best Avon perfume I’ve ever used. It lasted forever. Unfortunately, they’re no longer sold in Argentina. I hate how perfumes are categorized by age. I wore it at 15, so it was definitely not for older women. Plus, everyone praised it. I used it for going out at night back in the 90s. It’s a super sensual aroma. I was lucky enough to find one recently, and it’s still intact. It’s like keeping a great memory of my adolescence and the loves of that time. Luckily, I got the original first bottle with its black and gold box. Round bottle. A luxurious and elegant wonder. A huge mistake by Avon to take it off the market.

Rare Gold is a super sophisticated perfume at a price everyone can afford; I’d define it as feminine, elegant, and classic. For me, it starts with citrus, very floral and aldehydic throughout its structure, and dries down to a slightly musky finish. It’s a clean, powdery floral from the old school—well-made and timeless. It lasts and projects moderately for over eight hours on skin and clothes, plus it’s a great price. Given its composition, it goes with everything: all seasons and occasions. Highly recommended. Who will like it: lovers of white florals with an amber touch.

The best Avon perfume I’ve ever tried. It lasted forever. Too bad they don’t sell it in Argentina anymore. I hate how they categorize perfumes by age; I wore it at 15, nothing like an older woman. Everyone loved it. I used to wear it out at night in the 90s. It’s a super sensual aroma. I was lucky to find an intact bottle. Keeping a memory of my adolescence and my loves back then.

The packaging is elegant and feminine. It smells good, serious, and natural; when you apply it, it sticks to your skin like it’s your own scent. I love it even if it doesn’t quite fit my age. It’s floral, strong, but ideal for daytime—not too sweet or citrusy. You can detect the lily and jasmine. I recommend it to women 25 and up; it’s pure and serious, nothing childish. It’s a scent that doesn’t get old, and the base notes are delicious.

Honestly, for an affordable perfume from a brand accessible to everyone, it offers a huge surprise. It’s a powerhouse with a bold, sensual floral fragrance, and the projection and longevity are something even recognized brands would envy. For the price, it’s an absolute bomb. It ignites passions and steals the show.

It’s a rich perfume, smells like mature flowers, and lasts a long time on the skin. I really like it, and it reminds me of perfumes from the 80s and 90s. My mom says it smells like violets, but it doesn’t have any violet notes… but it’s very floral, as you can imagine.

I fell in love at first sight, finished the bottle, and it’s like diving into a sea of flowers. It’s a strong scent that I enjoy while feeling nostalgic; it takes me back to the 90s and reminds me a bit of Amarige, which is a classic for me.

Girls, try the new Avon Rare Flowers from 2021. If you loved Rare Gold and can’t find it anymore, this won’t disappoint. It has very similar middle notes, and I swear it’s worth it.

The bottle is gorgeous, lasts all day, and leaves a trail. What I notice most are the white flowers. It works great all year round and for any age.

I tried this when I was a teenager in ’97, and it’s a nightmare. It smells terrible; just thinking about it gives me a headache.

It’s potent and dense; it doesn’t bother me, but it’s not my favorite. It sounds very classic for women, quite serious.

I’ve loved this perfume since I first used it at 15. I don’t hesitate to buy it whenever I get the chance.

Another hit from Avon. A non-vulgar, very elegant, sensual, and delicious perfume.

Classic and floral fragrance. Ideal for bold, sensual women who love aldehydes.
