Simple Elements Warm Sunshine Avon for women

This is a bit masculine for my taste. Not that I don't like masculine (I adore and even wear some men fragrances), but I don't like it in its common form such as in CK's unisex stuff.

If you are really into citrusy, and looking for something affordable, I can recommend it.

Longevity is good, sillage is ok.

Warm, peaceful, sunny, but not beach summery but more like walk in the meadow summery, nice for vacation and then trying it once in a while in the winter time to bring back the happy, sunny summer feeling again. I would call it a unisex perfume as it`s also quite spicy.

I was pleasantly surprised by this scent. I set my sights on getting a nice orangey scent for the summer.
I tried Prada Infusion de fleur d'oranger & Bronze Goddess & wasn't terribly impressed by their staying power. I came across this by accident and it smells lovely very orangey, it lasts for ages and it was really cheap. Win! :)

The citrus notes at the top temper the mid-notes of lily-of-the valley, which is A-OK with me since lily of the valley has a tendency to be loud and screechy on my skin...The bonus are the basenotes which tie it all together for a sexy, woody, not-so-over-the-top clean fragrance...Great sillage, and lasts about 6-7hrs on my skin! Bravo, Avon, for offering a great 'sunny' fragrance!

Actual notes:

TOP: bergamot, mandarin, lemon, petitgrain, grapefruit
MIDDLE: orange blossom, jasmine, lilyofthevalley
BASE: cedar, amber, musk

Pretty simple with a sunshine feeling, exactly as the name promised. Gorgeous.
Warm citrus notes: mandarin and orange, quite a bit lily-of-the-valley with an ambery dry-down.
It lasts about 5 hours.

(There's something spicy mentioned in previous reviews. At some point I saw saffron in huge blinking letters before me as well but I'm quite sure that it's not really there. I believe it must be the combination of the citruses and lily-of-the-valley that creates that impression.)

It has a strong, spicy fragrance. This certainly is not my type of perfume.

All 3 Simple Elements were released here in the USA as splashes in 150 ml bottles, and Crisp Forest (the mens version) was not. >:-| I wonder if Avon thinks men don't buy their stuff, and only women buy for their men; and so carry scents ladies like on their men, as opposed to what WE really like...

I bought this as a replacement for the now discontinued Ode a la Joie by YR.
And for a while it worked-used with La Joie shower gel and lotion-but, it is more of a single citrus scent with some sheer green florals and warm slightly spiced resiny drydown-not, the wonderous beauty so lush and full of sunny freshness, greens and lush woods I had hoped for. It is nice just for something you just splash on after a shower for a bright, fresh, 'walk in the meadow' feel, but it was a little too transparent and fleeting for me, so I gave it to my sister-she loved it!!

Sillage: close
Longevity: could be better
Overall: 2.75/5

I wish we had gotten the EDT sprays released in Europe, as I find that sprayers tend to magnify the scent and add to its devlopment (or maybe it's just me). This is a very nice scent, just not what I was looking for...

I have this perfume and i really think it smells like a men fragrance. Not in a bad way, but...(it is too spicy for me) maybe you really like or love this scent...but it isn't for me...at all! (I like the other 2 fragrances from the same line: simple elements...:D )......(maybe i will love this perfume like you do, too =^.^= )

It's a bottle of orange juice that make you feel happy and delight,My cause scent after a bathe.

Very citrusy and vanishing...I don't like this!

All I feel is much of Bergamot,Orange or Lemon,something spicy but I don't know...
It's not too bad but very vanishing when sprayed
