Sweet Honesty (for women)

karenlsinging

This was my first scent when I was a teenager and I remember wearing it at a new year's party when I was 16 slow dancing with a much older man (probably in his 20s now that I think of it!) and afterwards the top I wore smelled of me, him and Sweet Honesty for ages. I didn't want to put it in the washing!

I am smelling Sweet Honesty for the first time now, in my late 30's, and I do like it.

I, and probably many of you, get so easily caught up in trying to stay abreast of the latest unusual/rare/niche perfumes that cost a pretty penny. I find myself trying to force myself to like so many perfumes because I think I should, even when my nose is saying, "No!"

Sometimes I forget how nice it is to simply smell GOOD. I forget how pleasing it is to spray on a perfume that I don't have to analyze or try too hard to enjoy. Sweet Honesty is a polite reminder of that.

I don't always have to smell like some exotic mix of tobacco, pencil shavings, bubble gum, mugwort, etc. There are times when the appropriate fragrance is something that smells simple, fresh and pleasant. Sweet Honesty is the perfect fragrance for those occasions.

I don't think it smells like Love's Baby Soft at all. I find that perfume very cloying. Sweet Honesty is soft and powdery, yes, but the warm, honeyed musk is the star of this fragrance. It's a subtle, clean, "your skin but better" scent that is suitable for any age.

I wish it lasted a little longer on my skin, but Avon makes a line of body care products in this scent, and layering may improve its longevity.

i think this aims to be "Love's Baby Soft"..but the drydown/undertone is nasty to me. One friend gave it to me..and I ended up giving it to another friend!

I smelled this out of an Avon catalog, I thought it smelled strongly of baby powder.

I recently bought a small bottle of this because I used to have it as a child and was interested in whether or not I'd still like it. It's really faintly sweet and a bit powdery, but it's pretty in a way. Couldn't wear it everyday but it does bring me back to my younger years and smells innocent and soft to me.

My Mom bought this when I was a kid. She bought the perfume and deoderant,actually. I loved it back then and still enjoy it now (though I do not currently own a bottle).

To me, it smells sweet and kind of nutty. I noticed that there aren't any nuts in the notes...but I swear that's what it smells like to me. The vanilla and honey bring out the yummy sweetness but the flowers (which are a perfect balance in here IMO) keep it from being too sweet. I don't remember getting any of the lemon, but maybe that's because compared to a citrus scent, it really has very little. It dries down to a sweet, nutty, and powdery goodness that always seems to warm my heart because of all of the childhood memories the smell evokes. It makes me picture my mom, fair soft skin, black thick curly hair and me in a pretty spring dress with dainty white gloves. Her holding my hands and walking down the sidewalk, waving hello to all the neighbors and people. It's such a friendly scent. I don't think you can go wrong with it. It maynot be anything special to people, but it's a scent that's special to me and my memories. Sweet, nutty, and loveable.

this is a soft powdery floral that lasts and lasts on me. i liked it more when i was younger though.

My mother still keeps a bottle of this around, and often tells me how much she loved it. I can't say I share the sentiment, but it certainly is a trip back in time for both of us.

This perfume became one of my new favorite Perfumes! I just love the scent. It smells so young and fresh love it!!!!
I already order my second Set of this perfume.

I agree Sweet Honesty has a softness and roundness to it's scent. But, on myself I wouldn't describe it as a light scent. It most certainly has a firm base which I think is the musk that holds true, which keeps this perfume from being whispy. I think that this fragrance shouldn't be overlooked and mistaken as a juvenile fragrance. It really has more personality and stature than that.

My first perfume. I used to have this one in a roll-on bottle that looked like Rapunzel's tower, complete with pointy cap. (I think I was eight.) It's very young, very sweet and floral, very appropriate for pre-teen girls. An excellent "starter" fragrance.

menaman

this is my first purchase of perfume...the smell is so sweet, just like the name!

Chatnoir

A much better "first" perfume than "Love's Baby Soft". I hated that dreck, but "Sweet Honesty", though simple and light , actually smelled like perfume, and not a diaper.

Ik kreeg deze geur van een vriendin, meer dan 20 jaar geleden, en wilde deze geur weer hebben. Het is een warme geur, een soort zoete warme poeder geur.

I had it for more than 20 years ago, it was a gift. Now I have it again and love it. Good memories. A sweet powdery scent, and very innoncent.

I had this when i was in grade school. It's very feminine and light.

Annette87

I just love this fragrance. It reminds of innoncent days. When I sold AVON,this was the scent I always bought my daughter. I believe she may still have some.

sonrise

I had this when I was very young, in fact it was my second real perume that I got. Love's Baby Soft was the first. I agree that it has a soft powdery scent.

Lightly sweet. Softens into a powdery clean fragrance. Delicate.
