Flower by Cynthia Rowley EDP Avon for women

This is an incredible scent and I always get compliments when I wear it! It layers beautifully with BBW Enchanted Orchid body wash and lotion! It is powdery and sensuous and long lasting. Too bad it was discontinued, I'll use the rest of my bottle sparingly! It's a gorgeous spring time scent if there ever was one!

To be honest I would try this fragrance just because I LOVE the bottle and the ad so much, lol. I love *anything* that reminds me of springtime and flowers, but from the reviews I might not really like it as much as I think I will. BBW 'Carried Away' had the same effect, the packaging was beautiful with blue sunny looking flowers and it smells like spring.

It's so common and too strong, full of freesia - I don't like it at all.

On my wardrobe page, Flower by Cynthia Rowley is listed as one of my few favourites. I would consider it a soliflore, and that flower is definitely the lily.

I am crazy about lilies, when they bloom in my garden I sniff them continuously till the day they lose their petals...

This fragrance is the embodiment of the eternal lily, love it so much.

Good staying power.
I understand that some cannot stand lilies however, therefore I am trying not to overdo it.

People used to comment on how nice my perfume was when I wore this. Its my all time favourite and I have just used the last bottle :( Please bring it back Avon.....

This fragrance is a dance of cool and warm. It has the fresh cool floral notes (mostly lily and a bit of freesia), intermingling with the warmth of musky sandalwood. It's a perfect balance on my skin. I don't detect any gardenia at all on me. I bought this unsniffed mainly because of the cute bottle, and hoped the scent was bearable, but I'm very happy with the stuff inside.

I bought this one quite a while ago and use very sparingly, usually only in the spring. It is a STRONG floral fragrance that lasts throughout the day. I feel pretty and springy when I wear it, but it has the power to give headaches. Especially if it's warm out and your skin is moist, it can just hang in the air. Use this one with extreme caution.

I like it! To my nose its nerly a pure Soliflore!
Because most i smell is the white "Madonna-Lily" nearly in perfection and slightly intens.

It has green-, soft-spicy- and much creamy-Notes.
In fact its really a bit gourmand-like but not what i would call a gourmand fragrance.

There is also much that reminds me of Gradenias in full bloom. Maybe its somthing between the Madonna-Lily and the Gardenia.

And i love both flowers, so i really enjoy this fragrance. It has an great siliage and instead of most Avon frags a very good staying power (between 5-7 hours).

But i understand if its a hadache scent for many people, because a Gardenia bush or many Liliys in a room is also a heavy headach factor for most people.

08 out of 10 Points.

First: I LOVE this scent... it's actually the best and most different Avon scent I've ever tried. So, of course, Avon discontinued it. :(

I don't find it powdery... it DOES have a great deal of sillage, so it's best to use it sparingly. It's blended well and is a great quality scent. It lasts and, as I said before, it's best to use sparingly - I think layering it with the lotion makes it too strong on me.

It is definitely floral /musk / sandalwood - not edible smelling at all.

Office Safety: 4/10 (a little goes a looong way!)
Headache factor: 5/10 (doesn't give me a headache, but I think it could give someone else problems)

I like the bottle very much. But inside... yuck! Flowers? May be. Somewhere deeeeeeeep-deeeeeeeep inside. I want to likу this scent, but I can't. I apologize to the fans of this scent, but I only feel cheap air freshener with "flower" fragrance. I only have to admire the bottle without trying to open it.

Nice floral scent but nothing extraordinary. Middle notes are a little green on my skin. Reminds me TTA Diamond by Avon. But TTA Diamond is fresher than this. It's nice but ordinary and not for my taste.

I would have sworn this had Gardenia in it and I am shocked to see that it doesn't. How can that be? That is all I smell. Oh well-it doesn't matter it really has grown on me and I hope I can find another bottle soon. I am running on empty.

I really really WANT TO LOVE this perfume. But everytime I bring my nose to the bottle, I almost puke. Like, EVERYTIME. Good thing I bought it for only 5 bucks. haha! And my mama likes it so there'll be spillage of goods. :D

EDIT. Just the worst. The worst possible perfume. If you wanna throw up, this is the key.

Actual notes:

TOP: freesia, citrus, violet leaves
MIDDLE: lily, waterlily, jasmine
BASE: musk, cashmere wood, vanilla, sandalwood

I got this fragrance as a gift, and I really love it! It's a very nice floral with a balanced sweetness to it. I like how the floral and the sweet notes are perfectly balanced. It makes me feel feminine and fresh whenever I wear it! I really enjoy it!

Be warned- you must love the smell of lilies to enjoy this scent- big, syrupy oriental lilies. It's a lovely lily soliflore, sweet but clean underneath it all. Flower is pretty heady- suitable for a floral kind of mood!

This is one of the best fragrances I ever smelt and bought. It's name is exactly how it smells but a little muskier. Very nice. I love it and actually have the Body Wash to it.

I bought my first bottle when it went to the clearance brochures. I immediately ordered another. Such a shame it is no longer available (here, at flea market). I could still smell flowers and spices 12 hours later!

Way too much lily, very heavy scent to me.
I gave it away.

Is it only me that doesnt like this perfume at all? Well i guess it doesnt goes well with my body chemistry. On me it doesnt smells like flowers at all,or mayby just a little little bit,but not so much that it smells good Anyone who wants to swap it?

This is truly a wonderful scent! It's not sweet or overly floral, it smells wonderful! Hate that it's discontinued, but thanks to ebay, I can still enjoy this fragrance :)

How could Avon have discontinued "Flower", one of their best ever, already?! This one is so rich, vibrant and full of life. It starts with soft, powdery freesia and spices. The heart is dominated by the purest Casa Blanca lily since vintage White Shoulders. The dry down is warm and woodsy. Even the bottle is one of the most beautiful in a long time. What a shame that this is already a "lost" fragrance!

My Favorite avon scent after sweet honesty.....This is for a true flower lover.I love it so much.

very sweet, very floral.. but can feel too sweet and strong at times. i like to wear it but not two consecutive days -once every two weeks maybe. i get mixed reviews though -some love it and some absolutely hate it! noone in between..

lovely bottle i must add..

Flower is the best perfume I know and my most popular! I love sweet perfumes.

I tried this one at an Avon Store. It seemed a bit sharp and sort of stung my nose. Not for me. I noticed it was on the discount table so if you do like it I would go get more now .

This is one of Avon's best scents. This is just pretty flowers in a bottle. Love it so much. And it will last for hours. Of course, I think it has been discontinued. Just don't get it - that happens to the best scents.

Reminded me very much of Anais Anais- agree with barbiot35, it's a predominantly lily scent

It smells like it's name. Very pretty with excellent staying power. One of my favorites. Sad to hear avon is discontinuing it.

I personally don`t like this perfume,I bought it after reading this reviews and I hoped to be very different than it is. It just not suites me, on my skin has a very heavy floral scent, not sweet at all.

This is so-so. If you love very strong florals,this is for you. It lasts all day and it doesn't change it's composition,so what you smell at first whiff continues until you bathe. I like more woodsy notes mixed with my florals, so this is not quite for me.

On me this is quite green at the beginning, but then turns into a floral vanilla musk, which is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. I've been looking for a non-foody, not too sweet vanilla perfume, and this might be it. The lasting power is decent - several hours at least - and I think it gets better as it goes.

I do agree with Weegee: I don't think this would be a perfume for a hot summer day.

smells like flowers!
quite lovely as it goes.

it lasts forever, although sometimes it can start to resemble a smell such as wee.

:/

Absolutely love this perfume. Sweet lily scent released only after an hour of wearing and lingers the whole day. The fragrance can last for more than 24hours!

I love this perfume, it gets softer & smell better the longer you have it on. The femininely retro white Hobnail style bottle is just too Garbo!

Sweet lily & the incense blend of sandalwood perked up with musk and cashmere wood. Lots of lily. Lots and lots of lily. Sweet, sweet, cavity-sweet lily.

Could be a sister to Donna Karan's Gold. Flower is meant as a summer fragrance but the lily & freesia notes are going to be too cloying and heavy in high heat and high humidity. My best guess is that this one will shine in springtime, leading off with violet freshness then meandering off to the lily bed.

This might be the fragrance you reach for in deep winter to remind you that spring is just around the corner.

wow, from the first whiff I loved Flower by Cynthia Rowley. I think it is one of Avon's most memorable female perfumes and I can't see how anyone would describe it as grannish.

It is so exotic and multidimensional that it might not suit those with spartane tastes. At first I thought I smelt bergamont, but I realise it hits a different note everytime I use it. The bottle is unique and stylish so Flower is real value for your money. It certainly is not for little girls but something that a woman coming into her own can enjoy.

Lilies lilies lilies!!! & slightly powdery. Lilies are very attractive to look at, but can smell somewhat funereal. I don't wear this perfume, as it's too 'grannyish' but the bottle looks pretty in my bathroom.

this fragrance is to strong and it smells very manly and there's nothing childish to do with this fragrance

i got a change to try it bc i recieved a sample from it ( thanks aysu!) im hooked!!its a real summer perfume, suits me very well and i loove the lilly in it! very well done,lasting power is great, thumbs up for this unique one from avon!

this may not relate, but last night i had a dream that i tried this perfume, and i hated it... but of course, that was just a dream...

This Smells Like Nag Champa to me
For Some Reason Dose Anyone Agree?
Or is it me

Lots of carnation to my nose.. If you love carnation then this is your perfume, if not then you will most likely not like it. I like it, not my most favorite - but to me not bad either. It is not over powering when layered with the shower gel and body lotion either - fades nicely. On my skin it wears well.

This perfume contradicts itself -
the fragrance is a pungent blast of flowers that seems to target middle-aged consumers, but it's flacon is adorable and looks like part of a little girls porcelain tea set.

Love it very much

I love green florals, and this one is very pretty. Lily-freesia, with green accents and faintly melony waterlily, are the main accords here, drying down to a soft (synthetic) sandalwood/Cashmeran base.

An excellent value for the money, and a beautiful bottle as well.

This one is just like a super-flowery miscellany. I can't detect any musky or vanilla notes, but lily and freesia notes are almost annoyingly dominant. Here's the evidence that a floral perfume could be surprisingly strong. I think it should be used at the beginning of spring... I had to wear it for some days to decide what to think of it, and now I like it, but I won't buy another bottle (the first thing I liked was the bottle :)). This one is not really me... Maybe it suits mature women better.

my favorite one , lovely scent, so nice i love it so much...i love it , I love it

I really do not like this. I guess it's the freesia. Not sure but It smells a little dated to me. Alittle grannyish.

It's nice at first, but then it fades into a very strange smell. In fact, initially it smells like Daisy by Marc Jacobs, but I don't know how to describe the next smell.

it gave me a headache, maybe only my grandma would like this mixture of flowers

Well, I just smelled this. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. It took me back, way back ... reminded me of a beautiful tin of dusting powder with a big luxurious fluff-puff. It made me feel pretty and settled. Nice. But, defnintely NOT for everyone.

I agree that this is unlike anything else I have smelled before. Lilly is so strong that It evokes a bottled version of fresh wild flowers. This is lovely, a friend wears it well I work with, so well I have ordered myself a bottle, will update after I rec. it. Who knows with my chemistry.. I thought at first it smelled like those big round puffy flowers that are usually blue or purple ?? Not good with flowers..lol.. whatever it is I like it. Pretty and it's different... I think it's pretty strong, I'm sure it lasts a long time as most Avon's do on me... Bottle is so adorable.. Must have it just that reason considering I'm getting it for a steal anyway...

For my nose and on my skin it is pure solifloral fresia scent:) Nice for spring or summer.

It is an intensive scent, of lilies but also some other flowers, possibly magnolia or something similar. The perfume is probably aimed at more mature women, as young girls nowadays would hardly wear a scent without some vanilla or fruits. It is also quite old-world fragrance, something that a grandma would like (without bad connotations), yet still lovely. It is very much like Unforgivable Black by Sean John, they are almost identical fragrances. The bottle is beautiful - princess-like and romantic.

soapy, flowery, musky.. I love this scent.. And it lasts very long. I detect lily, together with vanilla and musk, a creamy composition and smells different, stays very long and has nice sillage... You don't have to pay too much also.. The best part is lily note is not cucumber like Donna Karan Gold, it is sweet lily, mixed with vanilla and woods...

Feel sexy and confident....it lasts very long.

this fragrance smells exactly like imperial lilly(the pink one)this note is so strong represented that you can't smell anything else there, just lilly. sweet flowery for older women suitable.

i love that bottle i wanna smell it i think its gr8 like its bottle but not available here:(

I love this bottle, I also collect perfume for the bottles sometimes and Flower and petal have the cutest bottles

At first I thought it smelled nice, I smelled what I thought to be carnation and gardenia. Then suddenly it warmed on my skin and turned to the smell of vanilla (yuck!) and chemicals.
It may be nice as an air freshener or scented candle,but not something I want to wear on my skin and smell all day.
(I have 2 new 1.7 oz bottles still in box if anyone wants to trade.)

Imagine a huge bouquet of flowers and someone has bottled all its best attributes - it's light, floral (not too green)and lush. Not a sweet scent; it's a teeny-tiny bit soapy at first. I love this lighthearted, fun and long lasting scent and always receive compliments when I wear it. Gorgeous!

its nice, a bit serius, not sweet enough for me, but i have the body lotion and i like it

Very Pretty! I love it. Very spring and femine, and the mother daughter theme is too sweet!

It's a pure lily scent.

MY NEW FAVORITE!! I absolutely love this perfume. It doesn't compare to anything else.
