Signature of Nobody

It's a shame, really, the fragrance pyramid sounded very promising, especially the combination of bamboo and ginger piqued my curiosity. Since Signature by Avon is a real bargain, I quickly ordered it.

While testing, I noticed right away that there’s nothing behind it! The scent starts off very weak, and even in the top notes, the green apple contained in it comes across as very synthetic, smelling to me like apple from one of those air freshener sprays that were used in the bathroom back in the day, which actually made the smell even worse, but I digress..... no trace of ginger and bamboo, in the end, there’s something very barely noticeable, woody left after just 2-3 hours.

Like the longevity, the sillage is also very poor. The only positive thing is that Signature, in the middle of its development - if one can even call it that - doesn’t smell unpleasant when the apple has mostly evaporated.

I applied it very generously, every time I got ready for my boring and undemanding side job, and even then, despite a lot of human contact, no one noticed it, but at least it suited the situation wonderfully. Thank goodness the bottle is now empty due to excessive use.

Actually a great scent, if you blend out the synthetic apple note that you justly criticized. I always get asked what I'm wearing, but it's more of an everyday fragrance for me. Anyway, trophy for now.
