Petal is a fragrance for girls, made as a pair to the recently introduced Flower perfume. These two fragrances are created for mother and daughter. Frank Voelkl and Richard Herpin are the noses behind Petal, which is full of flower essences. This innocent and green floral scent is bathed in notes of lily of the valley. The bottle has the same shape as the Flower perfume, made of glass; romantic, youthful and pink. It is available as 30 ml edt. It has been on the market since 2008.
I read adele's review below where she says this is a honeysuckle soliflore and I was sceptical - that would be too good to be true!
Although honeysuckle isn't listed as a note, adele, you're spot on!
Perhaps it's not identical to honeysuckle but it's near enough and I'm very pleasantly surprised by this, especially as it's an Avon one, whose modern frags I don't seem to be fond of.
I agree with Rainmood and others, this disappears very quick but I don't mind. It leaves a very subtle trace and the overall effect is light and natural.
In terms of both smell and bottle, Petal is really very charming!
I bought this for an 11-year old girl and she loves it.
The bottle is pretty, the scent is happy, girly. I love it, too. And it is affordable, or was.
This really is a perfect first perfume for a young girl.
I think this is a light floral, but it is not so pleasant. I had a sample but didn't even use it up.
YUCK!!!! I tried this on at my avon lady's place and it was so awful. It gave both my boyfriend and I a wicked headache in the truck on the way home and I had to try to scrub it off with a wet nap. It was an overpowering sweet floral scent and it smelled very cheap.
Actual notes:
TOP: green notes, freesia
MIDDLE: lilyofthevalley, jasmine
BASE: white musk
Love this one. I loved this much better then cynthia Rowley Flower, and was surprised cause this one is supposed to be worn by a child. I'd much prefer to wear this over the Flower any day. Flower is WAY too flowery, Petal is nice and soft and sweet. I love it
A soft, pretty honeysuckle soliflore with vegetal undertones, suitable for those who don't like overpowering perfumes. Dewy and fresh; surprisingly natural smelling!
This is a very light scent that smells nice. I like it, hate that it's discontinued. This is something you'd wear when you don't want to be "heavily perfumed" say at the office, interview etc.
Poor little "Petal"! Like her mother, "Flower", she has already been discontinued by Avon. It's hard to see why. Although marketed to girls it's a great scent for anyone who likes a fresh, clean, young perfume. Opening notes are green, slightly sweet rather than sharp. The middle reminds me of honeysuckle and the bottom reminds me of just cut grass. This one is so reminiscent of a summer afternoon. The bottle is as pretty and innocent as can be. What was Avon thinking to discontinue it?!
i love this perfume! It smells so pretty and girly and thats what i think i am lol so i like it.
I don't have much to say about Petal, because it disappeared in less than an hour! (I time these things.) Darling Starling is right, it does smell like a nice shampoo or bubble bath, and then - poof! It's gone. I can see how it would be a cute gift for a little girl, though, and it's much nicer than a Barbie perfume or similar.
I quite like this perfume. Its extremely floral & sweet but not sickly sweet. It reminds me an awful lot of anna sui dream.
Its a pretty day time fragrance, nothing massively special but not unpleasant either.
As i have found with most avon perfumes this doesnt last very long on my skin & becomes hardly noticable with a couple of hours.
Very pleasant but vanishes instantly.
I just can't get over how adorable the bottle is, even if i'm unimpressed by the scent inside. To me this smells like a citrus laced version of Stila's Creme Bouquet, Floral, a bit powdery but then there is lemon and it just doesn't work (To my nose anyway). I would love to have a shampoo that smells just like this, or maybe a bubblebath that smells like this. I guess it's just right as a perfume in my opinion. I've never liked an Avon perfume though.... :( Oh and just to add something to help pre-sniffers relate, this smells like dish detergent.
This one did nothing for me, actually I only got a bit of alcohol out of it, very weak in my opinion. Flower was much better but too strong... they need to find a happy medium btwn the two...
I'm not a perfume snob. I love it. I have a hard time finding something that appeals to me. I don't usually like Avon's perfumes but this one's not too overpowering (as I am sensitive to those strong scents). Disappointed that Avon does not carry it anymore. Go figure.
