Chic in Black Avon for women

FYI:

TOP NOTES: Cyclamen, Apricot, Fresh Honeysuckle (yummy)

MIDDLE NOTES: Pink Peony, Yiang-Ylang, Gardenia

BASE NOTES: Milkwood, White musk, Plum

For some reason i can never get enough of this fragrance. I think it's the perfect balance of sweetness, fruitiness and floral and it's even a bit woody. When it dries down it does have a powdery smell but i quite like how the various notes become apparent little by little.Also i quite like the simplicity of the bottle, although i wish that the cap would snap down better (for travel). Best thing is that it's long lasting, inexpensive and inoffensive (i've never come across a person that doesn't like this scent).

Sillage: 3.5/5 -- 4 hours

Lasting power: 4/5 -- 6 hours

Overall: 4/5 :-)


P.S - i'm so sad it's discontinued :'(

i like the scent. it's ok, but don't layer it with the persperant, and lotion, because it gets too over powering. it's good for night time, when going out somewhere, not to much for everyday use. it's a soft musky some what powdery smell.

my bf kid has this and i had a wif of it and loved it so i got it off of ebay and i got i i was happy then i put it on and oh my word it smeeld so nastythe person i got it from will not take it back oh well i got it for 7 bucks i wish i knew ho sold it at the store so i can smell it there to see if it is differnt or not it is hard to fine perfume i love
BUY FIRE AND ICE OR THE FIRE AND ICE COOL PERFUME IT SMELLS SO GOOD

I was very exicted to try this. I bought a gift set with the fragrance, lotion, shower gel and deodorant for $14.99 from AVON. I finally tried this and after about 15 minutes after I applied the lotion and a light spray; I had to take another bath because I could not stand the smell on me. It turns into a very odd, stale smell on me. I was so dissappointed because I know a few ladies who wear this and it smells so nice on them. I just gave it to one of them and at least I got to make someone else happy with my purchase.

All in all a good fragrance. This avon scent is very nice . It smells very sophisticated and alluring. Will buy it soon. Tried a sample from my avon rep and was pleasantly surprised that I liked it.

I don't understand the notes above, because in my country Little Black Dress is sold in this bottle (formally it used to have the other bottle with the golden ttop), and I'm sure it is the same liquid in it so it should have the same notes as Little Black Dress has.
Anyway, it's a sophisticated, light floriental that unfortunatelly does not last on my skin, however, I really enjoy wearing it and the first minutes are just beautiful. It really is a pity that one need to reapply it during the day.

The fragrance itself is soft, floral, slightly spicy and musky, a little sweet with hints of vanilla. An elegant but safe choice for any workplace. If it was more potent I would definetely use it on occassions, too.

Reviews here are great! I think just about everyone at any age will like this one. It's a safe everyday type of scent. I don't think it'll bring on any compliments unless someone just notices you have perfume on and is just polite enough to let you know it was worth your time and tell you it smells nice, but a Tony the tiger you smell GRrRrRrRrrrreat you probably won't hear. It's maybe a bit expensive smelling though. I think it's well worth your money and a good choice if your in one of your moods where you HAFTA buy a perfume or you'll just die and you don't have really have the money to just blow. This would be a wise and good choice! One you certainly won't ever regret. In a word, versatile would be it!

I have this has a nice scent not one of my favs but It will do

This is the perfect contrast of Chic in White. This is a deep, rich scent that totally reminds me of Little Black dress. I love it.

I really like this perfume. It is a lovely sweet scent with spicy notes (although spice is not part of the notes). It lasts about 3 hours on me. It is a really worthwhile, affordable perfume.

A first spray of Chic in Black is Sparkely Sweet floral and then dries
down to woods but unfortunuly this doesn't last long but enjoy it what you can And i love the bottle's Design.

My first review:)I got curious after reading the reviews here, so I ordered a bottle on ebay, and I am really surprised with this one! Several years ago when someone introduced me to Avon I got a sample and did not like it at all, I guess I did not give it time...But now I like it, its not my best fragrance but it smells nice and expensive like some high end brands.

Very mellow, I get pineapple especially -with woods, nice! - the florals are a too shy on me though, I want more of them to come out on my skin...still very pleasant though.
An o.k. scent.

Just discovered, purely by accident, that this has a remarkable similarity to Estee Lauder's 'Intuition', which I wore to work the other day!

this smells just like forever by elizabeth taylor except it lasts longer. i really didn't expect this from avon

Still called Little Black Dress here in the UK. Just bought myself the new look bottle (as above but with UK name). I've now decided I like it but didn't when it first launched in UK 8 years or so ago. I don't know if the formula has been changed slightly, but it seems a whole lot nicer - or maybe it's a fairly sophisticated fragrance that I simply had to "grow into"? It also last longer than most other Avon fragrances. Really glad I gave this one another try!

I smelled this from the scented page in their catalog, maybe it's different on the skin, but I smelled Givenchy's Pi! Not a bad thing, just surprising.

Chic In Black is a very beautiful perfume that really surprised me with its scent. I wasn't expecting it to smell as good as it did. I don't really smell much of the fruit in the top notes or the aromatic woods of the base notes, but I do smell an abundance of the florals in the middle notes. It was a very pleasant surprise. I first sprayed this perfume on my wrist when I was wearing Givenchy Very Irresistible and to be honest, I couldn't tell them a part at first, because they smell similar. Overall I was very pleased with Chic In Black's performance on my skin. This is one bottle of perfume that Avon shouldn't have discontinued.

It is Little Black Dress in my country. Maybe this perfume is a modern version of a Chanel No 5. It smells great on women, it is very elegant and it could have been a designer fragrance easily. It is very chic, sweet, minimalist and floral. Girls, if you use it, you will smell like a million dollars.

Exactly like Little Black Dress. My mother still has several bottles. Oh Avon.... why do they do it? They are the queen of discontinue, along with Bath and Body Works.

Little Black Dress in Disguise, smells the same

it's the same as little black dress minus the bottle wich in both cases is good.

I do know that Avon has introduced this in America as the new (Little Black Dress) with a new name. I am not familiar with the original Little Black Dress so I can not say if it smells the same. I pick up a lot deep florals right away in this, and a rich musk, followed by a light spiciness. I would lean towards the floral/oriental category for this fragrance. For myself, I find Chic in Black most appropriate for cooler weather.
