Avon Prowl

Prowl is one of those fragrances that you either love or hate. It claims to be for the young independent, free-spirited and wild woman of the Millennium. Avon states that Prowl allows you ‘to follow your instincts’ and my instinct, frankly, is to hate it! I find the aroma of Prowl to be powdery when sprayed on my skin and in general not particularly pleasant (I am reminded of Max the Cat's Toilet!). Avon claims that this fragrance is sultry and seductive, designed for the wild at heart. The only thing it turns wild is my husband, wild with repulsion! **Fragrance** Prowl is a woody, slightly ... more

Be gentle with me! This is my first ever opinion about perfume. Why? Well, I really don’t wear it very often. I just can’t see the point of spending loads of money on a scent to make you smell nice.

It literally took ... more

I have just tried Prowl by Avon and I have to say it is the most disgusting thing I have smelt. The seductive packing with the leopardskin box hides the fact that it smells more like cats pee. I gave it to some of my friends to try and I have yet to find anyone that likes it. The scent is too heavy and is very cloying.
