Avon - Only Delight - Eau de Toilette

I like the packaging, a thin glass bottle easy to carry in a purse.
The cap stays on well and the lid top is pocked to look like the centre of a daisy.
The flower is attached by elastic and can be re-purposed.
The orange-pink colour is a fun, tropical shade.

I detect ruby grapefruit, pineapple, and purple florals.

Fragrantica lists the notes as passionfruit, Bulgarian rose petals and blue iris.

Unfortunately it doesn't last more than 10 minutes and is quite weak when it is first on.

Versace - Crystal Noir - Eau de Toilette

This is quite a unisex scent!
It is very heavy in green notes, with green florals, musk, incense, sap, some spice, and lavender.

This is a Autumn night in a well-cared for garden.
This is moths dancing around a street lamp as you move from one great party (for +25 year olds) to the next.
This is that spark of electricity in the air when the weather turns.

It is a strong scent as well.

The Body Shop - Italian Summer Fig

I don't know if the person who formulated this has ever encountered a fig before.
This smells like coconut.

COCONUT!

Not fig, it isn't even fruity.
It is a good summer scent (coconut is known for this).

But all it needs is a sharpie to fix it:

Done!

Price: 4/5 ($36.95 for 50mL)
Scent: 1/5 (not fig!)

Time lasts: 1-3 hrs
Strength: moderate
Season: Summer
Time: Daytime (11 am - 4 pm)

The Body Shop - Eau de Toilette - Early Harvest Raspberry

I love this scent! I kept this in my purse and spritzed it on whenever I damn well felt like it.
It is fruity, fresh, tart, sweet, and a true raspberry scent (not fake raspberry).
It didn't upset my skin and a little went a long way.

The only negative was that it was a limited edition and isn't available in store anymore :'(

Price: 4/5 (RRP $19.95 for 30mL)
Scent: 5/5
