Rare Diamonds Avon for women

This smells like a unisex perfume. It actually smells very similar to Britney Spears Believe & Danielle Steel by Danielle Steel. The main note I smell is definitely guava. Its fresh & floral, but not clean, soapy. I would consider this a spring/summer scent. I like it & I plan on re-purchasing this especially because its so affordable! :)

This is a nice fragrance. As soon as it is applied to my skin it is strong with patchouli, gardenia, guava, jasmine, and cashmere wood. This scent starts out strong so be careful not to use too much at once right before you make an entrance.
This does soften a bit with the drydown into a much mellower woody incense perfume. I like Avon perfumes, but they are not quite as sophisticated as the more expensive name brands.
They are nice for the price.
Sillage is quite good with this scent.

It smells fresh and clean. A bit soapy. I love it for an inexpensive scent!

I have all 3 of the "rares". I just can't tolerate this one. There is something about Rare Diamonds that is harsh, abrasive and synthetic on my skin.

I was surprised this one reeks so much. RG and RP are exceptional scents that smell so rich and luxurious on me. I guess my skin chemistry said NO ! to this one.

I bought this at a great sale price. Never smelled it before now. It is a pretty strong scent. I like the scent a little better once it fades. It is just ok ,I don't dislike it, but it just doesn't have the WOW factor for me.

pretty good

Oh Avon really does the trick with the 'Rare..' fragrance line and the GORGEOUS 'Today x,y,z, line..'.
FANTASTIC!

I'm just not a "cashmere wood, patchouli flower, creamy amber" kind of gal. I'm learning that - on my skin, with my nose - I need to stay away from the oriental-woody fragrances. I was so looking forward to experiencing the "plum blossom, guava, peony, gardenia, diamond orchid, Sambac jasmine" notes. Unfortunately for me, all I can smell (after only 1 spritz into the air and walking into it!) are the base notes. Then, I started sneezing. I actually went and took a shower to wash it all off. It was just an awful experience for me. If anyone is interested in a full 5 oz body mist and 10 pk. sample towelettes, please message me by 19 Oct. 11 or it's going in the give-away box for pick up. I wish a better experience for you than it was for me ;-)

non indolic white flowers.
sweet and feminine but not girly or trivial.
fruity but not sickeningly "pink".
a good solid choice for any occasion.

This is such a lovely fragrance. It is a subtle floral scent that has some sparkle right under the surface. It could be a summer or winter perfume...day or night. It is pretty linear, but at Avon's prices, a nice perfume!

But, I put it on at 7:30 a.m. and by noon I can't smell it all...even layered the scent with the body cream. If Rare Diamonds had some sillage to it, it could be one of my favorite fragrances.

I also like Rare Gold.

This is one of my favorites from the Rare line, along with Rare Rubies. (The two are completely different). This is a fresh floral without being sharp. Love the combination of orchid and plum blossom.

loved it hard when I first sampled it bought the whole line when it was introduced, then it got too much - reminds me of calvin klein - too fresh too....up there, I gave it away.

AmberLove you were sooo right!! I just received this gem as a gift by Icekat!! This lady is soo extremely generous to offer me this as a gift JUST LIKE THAT!!
It is a very well blended floral, just like all the other Rare ... by Avon's are super well blended.
It is indeed rich, a bit creamy but mostly a very heady floral!!
Like I love them the most, heavy and uncompromising!!
THANK YOU ICEKAT!!

Action it is lovely!!!
I received it today after buying it unsniffed. I have no regrets at all.
Upon fist spritz it instantly reminded me of something I smelled before and liked very much, but could not put my finger on...Then suddenly I knew it!
This is very very similar to Gucci by Gucci, which I have tested several times before. On my skin it is identical to Gucci by Gucci. It must be also because of the guava note.
I must say that this smells more lush and less muskier. It is a lovely composition. The guava note is very prominent in the top, floral notes are nicely blended with the amber and woods.
Its longlasting but does not have an ultra sillage...but it is definately worth having in your collection.
Good quality scent from Avon! Love it!

I do not have this one but looking at the notes it is a creamy floral fruity? I would LOVE to have it!!

This is an ok fragrance, not my favorite out of the "rare" line - though not bad. This has a striking resemblance To Curve Vintage Soul by Liz Claiborne which has been out for a very long time & I already own (well, my 6 year old daughter actually uses, just around the house & adores it, not so much me - hahaha)... The bottle is extremely pretty & it lasts while wearing it & is a great value overall.

(This review is for Eau de Perfume)

RARE DIAMONDS is mostly jasmine and gardenia on my skin.

The first burst brings fresh and tender peony and plum blossom but almost immediately it is sweetened by the note of a ripe guava. The scent continues to develop towards strong and heady notes of jasmine and gardenia. At this stage the scent appears a bit intoxicating. Then the orchid shyly appears. The scent goes a bit soapy. The dry down is barely noticeable wood notes.

If I use small doze then I can barely smell it. If I use medium doze, I find it strong, heady and at times intoxicating. The longevity is about 5 hours. You have to like jasmine-gardenia duo as well as being able to tolerate guava in the opening to like this. The combination is not unique or rare but it is pleasant if you have the skin chemistry to pull it off. I think this is a bit too much for casual wear. However, this could be worn in a day or night time for dressy occasions.

I love Rare Pearls , Rare Gold and I love Rare Rubies so I was convince I would love Rare Diamonds but no I could not love the strong smell and I'm not afraid of strong smell it's just that my nose do not appreciated sooo sad.

i love this perfume ;) so mild and floral scent.

I love it , It is long lasting & a beautiful fragrance. This and Rare gols are my favorite from the rare collection
