EDP review
This is such a lovely classy smelling perfume! It is really too bad they discontinued it. On me it starts out with Orchid and Sandalwood, then it dries down to a vanilla amber. It is so wonderfully balanced with just the right amount of sweet, wood, and flowers. Perfect for work as it is non-offesive. One you can wear all year round either day or night! I love the bottle and box design, it reminds me of Art Deco style. Very classy.

This is amazing! I've worn it since it came out and get lots of compliments. It's unique and distinctive, but nor weird like Gucci Rush, for example. Soft, deep, and powdery, yet with a clean-ness and freshness. It fits every mood and all seasons. A classic! Too bad it's been discontinued, that's ridiculous!

This is my second favorite scent, next to Paloma Picasso. I read in the one of the reviews it was discontinued. That makes me very sad. Luckily, I have a lot to last me for awhile.

This is the most lovely powder scent I know and it is unlike any other. Interpret the sweet and fruity licorice smell of Haribo Colorado in an elegant and unearthly way, dust it with cool blue shimmering powder and you've got Herve Leger.
Thats the smell of little blue fairies to me - nothing evil, nothing dangerous hides behind this tender perfume veil. Put it on if you feel very young and feminine. It's charming in the most innocent way. I have both the EDP and the EDT and they are quite similar, but the longevity of the EDP is nearly endless - be aware you will wear it for 2 days if you put it on.
It's not an everyday scent for me, but when I am in the right dreamy mood I love this little trip to wonderland ;)

I think it might be the combination of amber and musk I don't dig about this one. Musk alone I like. I'm not really wild about amber, but it's ok. Together, just not at all my thing. My younger sister wears this scent a lot--perhaps it's that I always expect cigarette smoke as an unofficial base that turns me off! : )

I somehow expected this to smell like the same titled Avon scent, but IMO it doesn't. It's much softer and more discreet. I found it ok for daytime or office wear but wouldn't really want to buy it for myself.

It has been discontinued! :-( I love this fragrance!! It has such a soft and seductive smell to it!! Now Avon makes a Herve Leger but it is not the same fragrance and no where near the quality of this one.

This is a soft, sweet and subtle fragrance. I wouldn't have called it oriental at all - to me it's gently floral with a hint of vanilla, which dries down to a base that is woody with just a touch of musk. I think it's very sexy but in an elegant and understated way that means it's not too extrovert to wear every day. Lovely!

I haven't seen it in the shops for a while and I'm just hoping that doesn't mean it's been discontinued.

i have recently purchased harve leger perfume from avon and was quite impressed for 20 quid you get a gorgeous looking designer bottle , in beautiful packaging a silver box quite nice the perfume itself when you first open it is very pungent and very strong and when i first put it on it was very very strong , however with this perfume you only need apply a little , it appears to be quite musky and oriental and this is a fragrance that changes as you wear it after a few hours it changes to a warm musky scent , that did remind me of a lot of the various cashmere scents that you can purchase however it smells luxurious and fashionable will definatley be buying this perfume again i hope that avon do indeed bring out more fashion perfumes because this is a concept that really does work .

It opens crisp and fruity then changes to
an amber musk with a hint of ginger nuances and vanilla can be cloying at times thinking to myself should i have more to say about this scent? it does turn
gourmand foody candy like mentality with
i also detect Black Licorice that is missing in the scent cards but i do smell
licorice, second when i first tried this
i thought it smelled average fruity run of the mill scent these are one of the perfumes that has to grow on you over time it did'nt win me over at that insistent may or maybe not that i will
come to love this only time and situation will tell.

I bought this pretty much on a whim. Sprayed it on in the store and walked out with it minutes later. I think I was lured in by the interesting bottle and purple juice. And I liked the scent well enough. Well one day shortly after I started wearing HL, a co-worker of mine said "why do I smell cake?" Unfortunately we figured out that I was the cake and that was it for me and HL. Don't get me wrong. I've got absolutely nothing against cake, I just don't wanna smell like one!

I tested this fragrance on paper about a year ago and was not impressed at all & had not-so-very-nice things to say of it. Last weekend, I was in a Nordstrom with a really pushy sales rep and she made me try it on my skin...so I did...

I TAKE IT ALL BACK!

This perfume is absolutely gorgeous...extremely sexy...very inviting...it is precisely what I imagined Allure Sensuelle would smell like, only it didn't.

The balance between the vanilla and sandalwood hits that perfect mix creating the desire to eat your arm and simultaneously roll around on a velvety floor like a kitty in heat. This is definitely more of a skin-scent on me, as the apple & orchid only make fleeting appearances here and there with warm and sexy intrigue. While sweet and gourmand, the orchid & apple do give it just enough of a kick, or tartness, to keep it from being heavy and cloying. I just LOVE this!

And it's purple juice...what girl doesn't want purple juice?!

This is a classic "must have" for every woman. Much love went into creating this complete fragrance. Understanded but very complex, a true alluring elixir. What a gem!

This is one of my favorite fragrances of all time. It is not too heavy. It lingers close to the skin. It is a little bit sweet, but is never cloying. To give it a bit more warmth, I layer it over my Vanilla Noir body splash. This appears to be a nice pairing because every time I wear it I get compliments from strangers. I'm surprised it isn't more well known. But, then again, I like that it isn't as common as the Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein selections that line the shelves of every major department store.

For me also one of the top favourites ever! Warm and comforting, not too sweet but apple-vanilla musk.. and the sandalwood which comes later in the drydown is so warm and lovely it fits the apple vanilla perfectly. I don t think it is a classic woody oriental..there s no oriental in it for my taste...and that s not necessary bad. It should sure be more popular!

Apple, vanilla and Hugo Boss Deep Red. That's what this smells like to me. It's a very nice, understated, inoffensive fragrance. Not very sexy (though that is very subjective ;), just comfortable and cute.

This is my stand-by, go-to, always-a-safe-bet fragrance. It's lovely, feminine, never cloying, and you just can't overdo it or offend anyone while wearing it. I do find that I need to layer it over the body lotion or creme (when I can find it)and reapply often during the day. Another big plus: my grandchildren love it on me. Highly recommended as a daytime fragrance.

I really like the smell of this lovely fragrance. It´s very feminine and warm. What most comes out on me is vanilla, sandalwood and orchid. It´s not strong imho, it stays close to the skin and is cosy and I can´t remember any similar perfume. For any age. For my taste it only could be a bit stronger. I wish they would launch a pure perfume or Elixir Version of this.

Not your usual oriental... not at all spicy or sharp. Instead it's extremely smooth and sweet (without being candy-sweet... it's far more mature than that). I really get the vanilla, amber, and sandalwood, but not so much the apple. It's not too complex, which is a refreshing change now and then, but is still elegant and sophisticated.

It's difficult to overdo this perfume when I wear it. It always stays light on me, and the drydown only leaves a faint trace of vanilla, I mostly retain the floral essence (I love orchids!). Lovely, ethereal, dream-like. I consider it a comfort scent, for the day, as it's too light on me at night.

I don't see it as a classical woody- oriental scent,because you can really feel flowers and green apple, warmed up with vanillla.
I agree that this could easily be one of the most beutiful perumes ever. It definetly makes you feel nice and cosy and very aware of it's lovely scent and it's influence of pwople around you.
It is very long lasting, and doesn't change a lot during time, which I consider very positive.

Easily one of the most lovely perfumes ever. It has the ingredients that I just love and it is a feminine fragrance in the truest sense of the word. Not a fancy scent in terms of having 68 different ingredients or one that you will have to work to 'get'. Nor is it necessarily groundbreaking. Rather, it is simply lovely with a beautiful blend of sandalwood, vanilla, amber and musk all combined just perfectly.

I don't think this is a scent that would be offensive to anyone as it is not loud or overbearing. It is not a floral scent, nor is it cloyingly sweet in a foody way. It truly is a woody oriental and a gentle one at that. Absolutely worth trying-a scent you can wear to work but also wear with that certain someone when you want to feel sexy.I don't understand why this one isn't more popular because it should be. It's an overlooked gem. If you enjoy simple and feminine scents, I think you will love this one.
