mark Earth Avon for women

Hmmm I love this...it definitively smells green and its really fresh and I think it smells fab!

This smells really green. Smells like grass and dirt. Don't get me wrong it isn't to bad, but its really, really earthy. Can't wear it for to long.

If you LOVE the smell of dirt on a human being, or the smell of overripe watermelon sliced open from the supermarket, or the guts of a pumpkin; you may just think that this weird dirt smell actually smells....clean.

I'm guessing they tried to make this smell grassy, but I felt nauseated just wearing it. I tried to scrub it off, but since that didn't work i tried to layer it with pink grapefruit.
I really, really dislike this perfume, and I consider myself a pretty open-minded, free loving fragrance lover.
But this one made me feel sick.

Thanks to lovely artysmom for swapping with me and sending me this as it was on my want list.
Firstly, I love the bottle.
The smell - hmm, I wanted so much to like this but there's a sharp overtone to it that I just don't get on with unfortunately, I like my greens a bit more easy.
Having read the reviews, I was expecting something more soft, ethereal.
Having said that, I've only tried it on my wrist and will give it another proper go but I'm usually quite good at making the right yay or nay decision straight away with a perfume.

A little too masculine on me to wear alone, but I have a few florals that, when diluted with this, become very sexy and make for a nice blend.

i had hoped that this might smell like the old Avon perfume by the same name... but it didn't. so then i hoped it might be a green-grass-and-dirt sort of scent, but nope to that, too. what this was, to me, was Haiku rebottled. boo.

This perfume is indeed a twin to Cristalle Chanel. If you love Cristalle, you will love this too!

Thank goodness... An Avon brand WITHOUT a musky dry-down. (I'm just not a musk kind of gal.) I agree with the reviews that pick up cucumber, but I also can smell a hint of cantaloupe in there immediately after the first spritz. Not strong but on my skin, it's there. Also present immediately is the wood smell. Very exciting - what I look for to wake me up in the a.m. when I put it on.

After a few moments, on my skin it dries to a soft, pleasant flowery smell while the cucumber and cantaloupe fade to the background. There's nothing "dated" about this scent which is what I like, and what my husband likes (added bonus). Perfect for nighttime.

Typical of Avon fragrances though - the scent fades within the hour. I bought it during the discontinued sale price so for 5 bucks, I shouldn't complain ;) If I see it again on eBay for just as cheap S/H included), I'll be purchasing it again.

Well, that's what I get for posting a sale. They were sold out when I went back to the avon site a day or two later, so I bought it from ebay.

I like this! First, what an adorable little bottle. I enjoy having it on my perfume tray. The scent is nice and earthy- bamboo, cucumber and rain. Mossy and soft, nothing sharp. NO headaches (as some green scents give me). I wish I could smell a little more wood or earth, but I really like this for a fresh scent. Can't beat the price.

Perfect for fall!

Soft, fresh, earthy green floral. I apply Olay quench lotion(the new formula with shea butter)first, then spray myself with Mark Earth. The synergy of this combination is unbelievably sexy and feminine. Of course, Earth is a wonderful fragrance in its own right, but it is amazingly enhanced by mixing it with the Olay lotion.

This smells like grass and mud after it rains, sort of damp and dingy. I don't get much in the way of floral notes or woods, unless they've been drowned. I'll pass on this one, it doesn't work on me.

I have been searching everywhere for Calgon's Herbal Meadows, which was my favorite scent from Calgon and they discontinued. Low and behold I get this perfume based on the reviews and because I love green fragrances and it smells almost identical. Not only is this a great smelling perfume but air freshener too. The scent makes me feel like I'm dancing in an earthy grassy meadow with wild flowers growing all around. I'm so happy I found this.

For an EDT this is a very nice fragrance. It last quite a long time too for an EDT. I think this is a good smell for Spring & Summer. It is very fresh and lively. It is not an offensive smell in the least but rather refreshing. I don't get a grass smell but maybe I am not familiar with that smell in a fragrance. I do know I like it, and I will be using it for this Spring. The bottle is unique in a weird kind of way. Not sure about the brown cloth thing around the top though. ;-) Guess that adds to the idea of a woody, green scent. Good buy on this fragrance & I have heard rumors of it being discontinued. Hope not, this is a keeper type scent that will get lots of use this season.

Another blind buy from Avon. A little more tolerable than most Avon scents, but this is too overpowering in the opening. Just can't wear it. Hoping to sell on Ebay.

If you would like to replicate the scent of this perfume, please do the following:

1) Allow the grass in your yard to grow high. Wait for a stormy night.
2) When the rain has cleared, get up early in the morning just as the sun is rising.
3) Scatter a bunch of daffodils, some jasmine and three cucumbers on the grass.
4) Get out your lawnmower and run over the lot.
5) Inhale and sigh.

I bought this one blind based on the reviews here. I love green fragrances, but only those without citrus included. I've always had a slight aversion to Avon scents because they have that sort of Avon-y smell that puts me off after a few hours. The Mark brand isn't available in Australia, so I thought I'd buy it an Ebay anyway, and I'm so glad I did!

Just really lovely. I can't stop smelling my wrist!

I don't get any florals in Mark Earth, at all... All I get is greens and woods, loads of both. There also seems to be some dirt for good measure, but not your ordinary, dirty, dusty, city dirt, but rather the kind of dirt you'll find when you venture into the woods, find a mossy patch, and dig up some of that moss and dirt up. It also reminds me of a smell of properly composted dirt - no, nothing rotting or gross, just a "sweet" smelling, fluffy, light dirt I use in my outdoor gardening sessions...

The bottle is quite lovely, too; I like green glass. Not too crazy about that brown fabric scrunchie-like bit; it's cute but you have to take it off before you can spray the scent (there is a metal cap right under the scrunchie).

Sadly, Mark Earth does not work as a fragrance for me - on my skin, it turns from a lovely smelling walk-in-the-woods thing to something resembling woods-and-B.O.. It just gets too masculine on me.
But it works like a charm as a room freshener :)

I kinda like this Mark Earth and I am a guy. I even think about wearing it. Like many reviewers, it's nice grassy smell but nothing like sharp and pungent wheatgrass. Then I can smell gardenia, which is soft and much nicer than other white flowers such as jasmine. There is a hint of lotus and subtle wood also, I think. Overall is a nice scent that anyone can enjoy. It may sound heavy but it is not. It's so damp earthy, fresh and green. It's not over the top nor intrusive. Mark Earth, I like you!

This has sweet sweet! damp grass, cucmbers (but you gotta love them here!), lush muguet, maybe even narcissus and several leaf of flora mixed together.
it is most natural smelling, like a trip in a garden full of heady vibrant flowers.

perfect - in its construction, its sillage and staying power.

Pitty it's just not right for me, gives me to my dejection a headache. But if I was into floral-green, this would be it! I'm really annoyed with myself right now, that I just can't cope with the flowers -again- in a most perfect fragrance!

This is so very gentle but not boring; and so very very unpretentious! Even through my headache I laudate the fragrance itself and envy those who will enjoy this!

Bottle and scent match too! Price is ridiculously low, why do florals and me just don't fit together?

I would have named this ‘’Gaia’’ for the earth goddess it’s so leafy and beautiful. The first spray is my favorite part; it’s full of lush vegetation, just like digging in wet earth to plant a flower. On my skin it slowly simmers and reveals simple layers of leafy greens, cucumbers, tulips, bamboo, strawberries still on the vine, and a hint of green bananas. Yet even as I smell all of this, it’s as if I’m deep in the woods traveling through mountainous terrain. In short Mark Earth is simple goodness in a bottle. It reminds me a bit of other floral greens like Arden’s Beauty, Candies, and Curve Soul. That doesn’t distract from the beauty or the originality of this scent for me, as I find Earth unique on its own. I found the scent quite strong as well, with excellent sillage and longevity. In fact if I spray too much I run the risk of headache ville.

Fresh, green and delicious. I love this perfume!

I sold Avon for many years, and had my share of "dealing" with this interesting perfume and body butter. It was such an odd composition to me, yet not in the least offensive. It just wasn't "me" so I wouldn't ever wear it. I gave a gift pack to a friend who owns a self sustained organic commercial garden and she LOVED it. It smelled just like her! Damp earth, leaves that have been tromped on, slightly musky and it had a distinct vegetable smell too. Not in a bad way....think ripe tomatoes or dripping English cucumbers bursting with flavour! I never did get to much floral out of the composition, but did smell something that reminded me of the blackberry bushes we have all over our beach property in Washington State. Blackberrys have a very pungent musky heady scent, especially when they are over-ripe and I smelled some sort of element of that in this lovely mix. The dry down reminded me of Estee Lauder's Private Collection Perfume (original) and maybe just a twinge of Elizabeth Arden's Blue Grass mixed with Jean Nate. It is just such a different scent. One that made me want to go lay on a lovely grassy field, look up at the blue sky and clouds, contemplate life and how lucky I am to be alive all while eating a bowl of berries! Sadly, I just put the lid back on and went about my day. Next time I should seize the moment when a scent over takes me! After all, that is part of why I adore fragrance so much. It enriches my life, memories and happiness.

To my knowledge this is not available in Australia, so I bought a bottle on ebay, and I am sooo happy I did. It is simply beautiful, very fresh and green, with top notes of grass (growing not mown) and cucumber, and some mossy wet notes as well. If there are any florals, they are certainly unobtrusive. I liked this straight away, and it doesn't change much on drydown. Long-lasting and great value. The best Avon perfume in many years. It gets a 10/10 from me.

nice bottle :-)

this is my first time wearing this and its reminding me of my childhood. laying in the fresh cut sweet grass. just soaking in that fragrance on a sunny day. i'm loving this and i wasn't sure if i was even going to like it. this is going to be one of my most used spring perfumes. what a beautiful fresh sweet green fragrance.

JUST WANT TO ADD: the staying power of this is huge. i put it on around 7 a.m. and it is still very distinctly noticable now at noon. i'll refresh this afternoon and i'll be good to go this evening. love it!

Hmm. Very interesting effect this has. I have tested an ELO, van cleef & arpels, and faberlique in different spots, and i always go back to sniffing the spot where i tested Earth. How delightfully refreshing! I smell cucumber, fresh cut grass, earth, woods.. Very natural smelling, and it takes me to summertime, hanging in the yard, pruning flowers, soaking up sun, after the lawn is cut. This a very fresh, positive, gentle scent. And when i go full fledged hippie in the summer, wearnig nada but silken sundresses & sandals, this will be my anthem. Good enough to thoroughly fall in love with, and easy on the pocketbook so i can apply shamlessly over & over! I will get a fb asap, maybe two! What a pick me up!

this is really natural smelling and refreshing....
i get rain, aloe, cucumbers and clovers and there is a bit of a floral sharpness--just barely--and it reminds me of muguet or lily of the valley...
i dont get dirt/soil at all.
perfect after a workout and shower, when you want to spray perfume (such is the addict that i am) but don't want to smell perfumey...
instead you want to keep that fresh, clean, shower scent...try mark earth...it will remind you of springtime in may

Just got this in the mail yesterday from avon.com - I don't know WHAT to think of it. At first I thought (because I have a nasty sinus condition/head cold) that it smelled like raw nuts in the mud ... Nope; not my cold - it just smells peculiar. My mother, however, likes it, but she also lost most of her sense of smell years ago. I'm afraid to wear it out anywhere.

Pretty bottle, though.

Oh man, am I disappointed in this one! :( Wet grass and soil is all I'm getting... It is fresh I'll give it that much, but that's about it!

Wish I were lucky enough to smell wet grass after a rain by applying Mark Earth but no deal. I had high hopes---who wouldn't love a cheaper chypre that could be worn with abandon?

To me this stuff has no character, like it's been focus-grouped to death and doesn't know who it wants to please so it settles for just trying not to offend any demographic.

And what is that smell that lurks in the background of some Avon and Victoria's Secret fragrances anyhow?

i love this stuff!
total departure from every fragrance i have, including what i consider the "classic chypre" framework.

give it a try
so affordable you couldn't regret it.

I hate this one. It smells like wet grass and dirt after the rain. I DO NOT want to smell like that. Yuck!

To sharapop. Here is another good Avon perfume that you should try. It's very woodsy, green and wet. Like a dark, earthy, damp forest. It smells like something a water nymph or a forest fairy would wear.

...just got this frag today! I'm NOT disappointed...The green notes are what I was after...It smells expensive...Someone told me Avon is phasing this one out, so grab 'em while you can, folks!

Mark Earth reminds me so much of Coty Sweet Earth solid fragrances of the seventies. It's not sugar and spice or floral but an earthy fragrance and is aptly named.

Cucumbers, a fresh lawn, banana leaves, a pinch of lime and a couple of dandelions...

Fields of green, a Spring afternoon - Earth: an endearingly memorable and artistically sophisticated scent.

I don't usually use Avon products but was very curious and bought it because of a promo - buy 1 get the body lotion free. I wasn't disappointed. The scent of the edt is so green and refreshing it feels like you are in the forest after a rain. Couldn't smell the flowers at all which is good because I wanted a non-floral scent in my collection. Lasting power is very good but doesn't last for more than 8 hours. Scent is not strong so its great for day-time wear or office wear during spring summer and even fall. The body cream is strong enough to last the whole day and great for layering with the edt.
