Wink by Avon

Back in college, it was super subtle and perfect for me—very cheap and soft, blending right in with my friends’ perfumes. You had to be practically touching to notice it. 🙊🤣 And yes, you had to reapply. It lasted about 2 to 4 hours.

I wore this in my 20s—it’s fruity, cheerful, and youthful, and it suits my skin perfectly. Now that I’m 39 with an 11-year-old daughter, we both wear it; it’s a pleasant scent that’s nothing shocking. Since it’s a catalog item and cheap, you can restock whenever you want. It’s perfect for spring, fairs, walks, or the grocery store—ideal for everyday wear. Since it’s not flashy, enjoy it without bothering anyone. The grapefruit and freesia really stand out; it’s a delightful fruity citrus blast!! The bottle reminds me of my youth days; pink and purple were my colors, and I love that faded pink because it lets the perfume shine through—a juicy amber tone that looks like it was made by fairies!! One of those catalog perfumes that I buy every time I see it.

I first discovered this little gem in 2005 thanks to my sister, who wore it all the time; we were both teenagers, but I wasn’t much of a perfume fan back then, so it didn’t matter to me. Still, I remember its scent and currently miss it. To me, it smelled like sweet, juicy grapefruits; it’s very youthful, and I see it more as something for a teenager. Even though I’m not one anymore, I’ve been craving it lately. I see it as a versatile all-rounder, which is exactly what I’m looking for—a go-to for hot days, plus it’s super cheap. Honestly, I don’t remember its sillage or longevity, but I read it was discontinued and then came back, which is a sign I should grab it before they throw it away forever. Hope they didn’t reformulate it badly. You shouldn’t have high expectations with an ultra-cheap catalog perfume, you know what you’re getting, but for the price, it’s a steal. Edit: It finally arrived, and even though I remember the scent a bit differently, I still like it. I recall it being totally fruity with grapefruit standing out and a sweet touch that might have been raspberry; now it’s still sweet grapefruit but with a floral note. My sillage and longevity on me are moderate, and it compliments me a lot, especially for girls and teens 😬 Second edit: It’s March 2024, and I thought it had already been discontinued (at least in Mexico) since I read months ago it might be its last appearance, or maybe its last few—I’m not sure, but then I didn’t see it again; yesterday I found out it’s back in the catalog, so I restocked this lovely little perfume again 😊😊 It arrived, but it doesn’t smell the same. I think now that Natura bought Avon, they reformulated this perfume. Now it smells totally floral; I don’t detect the grapefruit or raspberry that stood out to me in Wink before. Now it’s just a fresh, subtle floral with weak sillage and longevity—I barely smell it on me, and sometimes not at all.

I detect the raspberry, and after some time, it leaves a sweet finish that I like. I’ve heard reviews saying it’s common and nothing special, and honestly, I’m really enjoying it. I don’t feel it’s common. I don’t own many Avon perfumes, but the last ones I bought have pleasantly surprised me.

An aunt gave it to me when I turned 15, and it was my adventure buddy through my teenage years. But after using it so much, even though I loved it at first, I eventually got tired of it… I remember it as a fruity, youthful, and fun scent, perfect for young girls.

Natura’s Humor madness! It’s identical!

This smells like a memory, a rich and fruity aroma, nothing pretentious, which is why it’s lovely for its simplicity; I see it as fresher and more youthful, even though I don’t like to pigeonhole perfumes. It brings me thousands of memories, I still have it in my collection ♡

Wink accompanied me for years, a fruity perfume through and through. Youthful and cheerful. At the time, people often asked me what fragrance it was. Too good for a standard, cheap line. I loved it until they discontinued it in Argentina. I think it’s now hidden in these fragrances: Colortrend Trendy, Scent Essence – Vibrant Fruity. They smell very similar, but not identical.

I saw the bottle photo and the scent came back to my mind. I loved it! It was my high school perfume, what memories… Sweet, fresh, fun, and very cheerful, that was its aroma. Do you know if they still sell it?

I love this Avon fragrance, it’s delicious and fresh; the blueberry scent is one of my favorites and the price is super affordable, ladies. It’s not overpowering and you’ll always smell good. A solid ten for being an Avon product.

I wish I could try this magical perfume again; I used it many years ago but I still remember its delicious fruity and sweet aroma, especially back then when sweet perfumes weren’t in fashion; definitely Wink was ahead of its time. A delicious fruity, youthful, and carefree scent, and as already mentioned here, it has nothing to envy from other celebrity perfumes or trendy ones. Those who have the chance to try it, do it, let’s hope we can get rid of the ‘cheap catalog perfumes’ prejudice, because sometimes you can find pleasant surprises where you least expect them.

I used it during my teenage years, very fruity and fresh, ideal for summer… it lasts quite a bit from afternoon into night. It’s true that the new versions change the fragrance a bit. In Argentina it hasn’t been in the catalog for years, so I couldn’t get it anymore. However, it’s a perfume that has nothing to envy from overly sweet celebrity types like Fantasy or others… I’m not saying it’s equal or similar, but it’s of that style… ideal for young girls. Give it a try and honestly, you’ll probably like it.

It’s sweet and fruity but soft. If it doesn’t last long, it smells a bit like raspberry caramel; it also has a creamy note. My grandma gifted it to me for my birthday, and later I bought my own, but over the years it has changed a little. I use it as a room freshener at the office, and my colleagues say it smells like perfume. My advice: ask an Avon representative for a sample so you can try it and decide. Cheers!
