mark Jewel Avon for women

Well done reviewers of mine! Shall order it in my next avon splurge and report. Sounds wonderful according to all of u! thanx!

it smells mostly like coconut and suntan lotion on me, not really what I expected reading the notes.
not bad after all, just a little bit too sweet.
I see a big similarity with BBW Riceflower & Shea.

I had this in my want list for a long time due to the notes sounding very appealing. I had the chance today to smell a tester at a store, and it was awful. There was a plastic smell, and I could not recognize any of the notes listed.

i bought this on a whim, right after it came out, and i was surprised at how nice it is. B&BW Twilight Woods is quite similar, to my nose, and i like it, too. both are creamy-woodsy-sweet-berry sorts of scents and are very different from so many other things i've tried!

This smells pretty, but to my nose it is a dupe for Bath & Body Works "Warm Vanilla Sugar".....except I can wear and stomach "Jewel"....WVS makes me want to wretch, not sure why. "Jewel" is a soft, sweet scent...cozy, even. Good for really cold weather, I don't think I would wear this in the summertime. My hubby loves this scent, but I'll only wear it for him I think. I am a Pink Sugar girl and can sniff that all day long..but with "Jewel", it is nice to catch wafts of throughout the day but I think if I am not careful I'll be over it fast :S

I love this perfume. The bottle is cute and the fragrance is just.. warm

Ugh! SO NOT me! Remember "Babe" back from the 70s and 80s? If you loved it when you were a kid, THIS IS IT. I'm 40 now and I do NOT want to smell like it any longer! BIG THUMBS-DOWN from me. I'm so glad I sprayed it in the air... outside... on a windy day. I bought the "Hook Up" 5 mL/0.169 oz. size on clearance. HUGE sigh of relief on that one. If my 10 yr. old daughter doesn't like it, it's going straight in the trash.

*magalog description from mark.*

"A blend of irresistible femininity and sweet seduction. Luscious fruits and sensual casablanca lily mingle with amorous macchiato, liquid caramel and warm vanilla for a scent that is as decadent as it is captivating. JEWEL makes an impression that lasts long after you are gone..."

This scent is the one that has been around longer than any other mark. fragrance. Most of this company's releases are "fragrance mists", JEWEL is a true eau de toilette. This starts with a typical fruity accord, rather non-specific and sweetly generic like many other modern scents labelled "for her". So I was not all that impressed...until a gorgeous creamy lily materialized in front of me from the fruit stand. This scent went (in under 15 minutes) from "meh" to "Oh YEAH"! This is not a pollen dripping stargazer, or your mother's Easter lily; this is a lily that grows wild, heady and full of life. In one description, macchiato FLOWER is listed but to me it is more of an steaming demitasse of espresso topped with foamed milk. Dark, slightly bitter and thick, with a whipped creaminess that balances it well. As it dries down completely, a gooey (but not too sweet) caramel melts into a sensual vanilla. Delicious and oh so rich, floral fruity gourmand is the perfect classification for this fragrance. I am tempted to say Victoria Secret meets ANGEL, but that would a bit of an oversimplification; although it gives you a good "idea" of what JEWEL is: something sweetly fruity then floral, finishing with an almost sinful deliciousness.

Sillage: average
Longevity: good
Overall: 3.75/5

Despite it being "built" on one of the most feminine flowers around and the rather lackluster opening, Jewel is actually something I will definitely wear, and REALLY enjoy. Smooth and creamy, with a darker (but not heavy) finish...coffee and caramel and vanilla: OH MY!! If you are looking for an affordable floral fruity gourmand, look no further. At 22 US dollars for 50ml. (full retail) this is actually quite impressive, as far as projection and duration, and you simply cannot go wrong for that price. Lovely...

The casablanca lily is very peppery, hot and loud. Think: "Lilies Gone Wild".
Just a touch of creamy caramel and vanilla to sweeten her up some. I really like that this one has a personality and is different. It's got an edge to it and is very sassy. It's strong, not a light perfume, with great sillage.

Mark perfumes are often a little too light for me to "love," although I usually at least "like" the scents for everyday - nothing special - cute bottles - "cute" scents - nothing more. There have been a few that stood out though with something unique and special. Jewel is one of these perfumes (along with Karmala, Bohista, Greek Isles...). I love it from the first floral fruity blast to the sweets to what seems to be amber later in the day. There seem to be notes in it not listed above, but whatever its recipe, it is a creative and successful mixture.

Don't know what all the hype is about. I bought this on impulse because of a misleading liquitouch sample. I smell none of the so-called gourmand notes, just old-lady florals. I gladly returned it.

I mix this with Demeter's Caramel and it it becomes soooo sweet and toasted.

i am an avon rep but really don't wear any of the fragrances even though many are well done. This one is beautiful though- sweet vanilla caramel but not cloying and above average staying power. i gave it to a prof i know and she got many compliments at work- it's not offensive but not conventional.

The best things about Jewel is the fact that although this is a rich gourmand, it is NOT sickly sweet at all. This is a very simple fragrance, which I like. Also- the lily partners well with the caramel. A plus- the bottle is really cute~

Is it just me or are all Avon and Mark perfumes really alcohol-ish? When I first applied this, the alcohol burned my nose, then it smelled like coconut, (I know that isn't listed on the notes). The drydown is better, lots of fruit and lily, I get no caramel or vanilla from it at all. It isn't a really bad scent, but not a very good one either, notes don't seem to blend together very well. I really expected to like this one, but I have to say it disappointed me.

Fresh and light. Perfect for when you don't want to smell "perfumey". I don't smell the caramel, which is a bit of a disappointment, but it still is nice. It somewhat resembles Noa Perle, IMO.

This one is really nice and in my opinion one of Mark's better fragrances. The vanilla and caramel in this perfume is so decadent. Everytime I smell it, my mouth waters and I find myself sniffing my wrist like crazy. I love Jewel. I can't help but think of chocolate covered fruits when I'm smelling it. I would definitely recommend it to a friend becuase it's such a delicious fragrance to wear. It reminds me a lot of Amor Amor by Cacharel, which so happens to be a favorite of mine. I can't imagine anybody not enjoying this fragrance. I love it.

I really like this perfume..on me it is fruity and creamy smooth with a little sexy spice..i had grown tired of all the sweet fruity candy fragrances that had been on the market but something in this makes it just a little more sophisticated and sexy...men seem to like it....and Aiona is right.. it smells like another perfume to me i just can't quite figure it out....i am just thrilled i found such an affordable perfume that i find this wonderful.

I love this one. Not much vanilla or caramel comes through for me, but a delicious blend of mostly floral and wood. This lasts all day. The bottle is cute (it looks like an inkwell), but the cap isn't very secure. I love love love this one.

I used to work for Avon so I have about 4 bottles of this fragrance that I got for free! (PM me if you want one :) ). And I must say, it is simply delicious and has become a staple in my collection! The vanilla/caramel notes combine with yummy florals to create a soft and sexy scent that entices and intrigues. It's really unique, and if you dig gourmand fragrances like me, I think you should try it. It's so inexpensive anyways so you really have nothing to lose!

I love collecting different perfumes. And with this being the main Mark perfume I just had to get it. Finally when it went on sale I got it, and I'm glad I did. I love the scent of the caramel and vanilla together. It's a very rich scent but at the same time it has a kind of childhood innocence. Very wonderful!

I didn't get any caramel at all in this. I got a coconut scent with boozy peach that dried down to really strong, loud sandalwood. I would almost like it if the boozy peach was alone, but there's too much going on here and it's much too loud on my skin.

Yes, I love this fragrance! It is so yummy vanilla caramel, luscious, sweet indeed! Me, my Mom, Sister, Aunt and Cousin all love it and bought it from me lol!

Wow! I just caught a whiff of this on someone at work today. It smells wonderful and very distinctive (not to be confused with 'distinguished'). It smells much like a perfume that used to be around in the mid-1980's but which disappeared without my ever finding out its name.

'Kinda flowery, but with something else. . . . aldehydes? Or amber? Or maybe the "caramel." Yummy!

I'm not a cannibal, but I wanted to lick the woman wearing it!
