Avon Rare Pearls

Advantages: smells lovely and you get lots of nice compliments when wearing it
Disadvantages: the staying power is a little dissappointing for an Eau De Parfum

...Parfum I really love the Avon perfumes because most of them smell gorgeous and the perfumes are really cheaply priced. When I am choosing a new perfume from the Avon catalogue I either buy the ones which are on special offer or the ones which have nice looking bottles. I bought my first bottle of Rare Pearls because it was on special offer and you got three matching bath and beauty products free to layer and compliment the fragrance. I think I ...
...find that most of the Avon perfumes I buy only last on my skin for about 4 hours before they fade away and need reapplied. Rare Pearls is an Eau De Parfum; Eau De Parfum fragrances have better staying power than Eau De Toilettes because they contain higher amounts of perfume oils, Eau De Parfum last any time between 6 and 12 hours on your skin. However Rare Pearls only lasted for 5 hours on my skin before I needed to reapply it. I find that if I ... Read review

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Not a well know brand - Gets overlooked

Avon do a very good range of perfumes and the Rare collection has a few - Rare Rubies, Rare Gold, Rare Emeralds etc. They all come in a nice oval shaped bottle with different coloured lids and perfume. I like the attractively shaped bottles. My friend really likes this and when it is on offer she often buy 2 or 3 bottles at a time. RARE PEARLS the scent - A lustrous mix of green notes, magnolia and pearl musks. I have just sprayed mine and I describe ...

Advantages: smells lovely, long lasting, flexible scent
Disadvantages: only available from avon

..., this is because it contains more perfume oils and the scent lasts between 6-12 hours on your skin depending on your skin type. Eau De Parfum contain between 10-20% perfume oils. An Eau De Parfum is more expensive to buy than an Eau De Toilette because there's more perfume oils in it. Rare Gold has better staying power than Rare Pearls does, and both of them are Eau De Parfum. Price And Availability You can purchase Rare Gold from Avon and it costs about £10 for a 50ml bottle, although Avon seem to have it on special offer quite a lot, so it is a good idea to keep your eyes peeled for a bargain. Avon also sell the matching bath and beauty products which compliment and layer the scent of the perfume. You can purchase Rare Gold shower gel, talc, body lotion and body spray which will give the fragrance of the perfume more staying power if you... Read review

Advantages: gorgeous long lasting fragrance, moisturises, layers and compliments the perfume
Disadvantages: none

...Avon ~ Rare Gold ~ Shower Gel I really like the Avon perfumes because they smell nice and you can also purchase the matching bath and beauty products to compliment and layer the scent of the perfume. Rare Gold is just one of the fragrances from the Avon Rare range of perfumes and beauty products, as well as Rare Gold you can also purchase Rare Rubies, Rare Pearls, Rare Sapphires and Rare Emeralds. As well as the Rare Range of perfumes you can also purchase talc, shower gel, body lotion and body spray in the four different Rare fragrances. Buying the matching bath and body products the same as the perfume can also layer and compliment the perfume and give it better staying power because the bath and beauty products act as a base for the perfume to stick to. The Rare Gold shower gel is supplied in a tall see through plastic... Read review

Advantages: Pretty and fun bottle design + fruity + cheaper than similar (designer) fragrances
Disadvantages: + no staying power + lingers + becomes VERY bubblegum-like + potential headache causer!

...letter. For example, the "i" is in italics and a serif-style font face. I love this box! Usually I think of Avon perfume boxes as being somewhat "sophisticated" and "classic"...the Rare Gold, Pearls, Rubies fragrances are typical examples. This packaging however, is so pretty, very summery and aimed toward the younger consumer market, not solely the older buyer. The colours reflect the flirty name and attitude of the perfume. Well chosen, Avon! Thin material yet sturdy and protects perfume bottle well. THE PACKAGING - THE BOTTLE I like the bottle and, again, the whole flirty, young, fresh nature is repreated. The shape is pretty basic - triangular in design, plain lid, and so forth. However, the lettering and the colours bring this bottle to life and it's now clear to see why the bottle shape is so "boring": having... Read review
