Aromadisiac for Her
This is a very gourmand fragrance but not exactly typical of today's foody scents. It's very unusual as the combination of notes produce a scent like no other mainstream fragrance I know of. It could easily be one of those quirky, niche fragrances developed by someone like Smell Bent. Yes, it does smell like black jelly beans a bit and along with that note I am enjoying a weird smell of something like a rubber tire. Freaky I know, but somehow it works. Also I'm getting ginger which is not listed as one of the notes, but I assure you it IS a note listed by Avon. The underlying sweetness I think is coming from the macaroon note, also listed by Avon, and the tonka bean. The tonka bean I read is commonly used as a replacement for vanilla and gives the impression of a soft sweet almondy gourmand scent. The only drawbacks I find to this scent is that it does not last as long as I would like it to. The silage is fair and that is ok with me because this is one of those comfort scents. Something you wear when it's cold outside and you want to snuggle up with a hot beverage and enjoy some alone time, perhaps reading a book.
