On my skin, Flower smells like a shy Serge Lutens Un Lys. Un Lys is my favorite fragrance.

Clean, pure lily & hyacinth. Smells like spring, Easter. I sprayed one spritz at 4pm prior to driving to son's soccer game. Close to midnight & I can still smell faintly. Smells slightly woodsy now. I like this very much. The bottle is sweet!

pure stargazer lily, there really isn't any other way to describe this scent. the name flower fits it's perfectly, because it really does smell like pure flower, no other fragrance notes noticeable.

i would have given it more lippies, but i find it a little boring. however, if you want something simple, floral, and not fancy, this is perfect for you. the staying power is pretty good, but not great. it can be worn all year long, and is good for work since it's not heady and overpowering.

Avon's site describes this as: "A playful bouquet of colorful florals surrounded by warm woods and musk." Honestly, I don't smell any warm woods or musk. It's a very sweet floral scent. IMO it smells very much like real, heavily fragranced flowers. A tiny bit powdery smelling.

PROS: Decent price. Very strong (1 spray is PLENTY!). Lasts throughout the day. Adorable faux-milk glass packaging (actually glass, painted white, very sturdy).

CONS: None?

I LOVE it and will definitely repurchase :)

I'm so on the fence about this one. It's not bad it's just that it's not great. I smell a LOT of florals but quite honestly none of the precious woods it's supposed to have. But boy, does it have staying power. Trying to review fragrances is very hard sometimes b/c it's so subjective. I like green fragrances more than straight up florals and I think this is just too "flower garden" for me. Should have paid attention to the name of the perfume. The bottle is way cute though.

I love this scent. Very sophisticated, and smells like a garden of lillies. It's not 'disgusting', nor it is 'old', I'm sure those whining about it being 'old' probably like that sugary cough syrup smelling perfumes, whatever.......please, this is for the grown and sexy.

I was looking forward to some nice lily scent, but in this fragnance is mostly freesia. It's also very strong. Maybe even too much for me. Long lasting. I won't repurchase again cos it's not my scent so much and also I like to try other new scents - there are so many. I like the metal white bottle. It's also very cheap for 50ml EDP.

I was excited about this because Cynthia Rowley designed some makeup for Avon which was fabulous (the lip gloss is very high-end and worth well over $4, I must say). This scent, however, is one of the worst I have ever smelled. Waaaaaaay too heavy and old. I don't know what went wrong here! But I have to say I thought this was disgusting. I could even smell it in my nose (to my chagrin) for another day or two!

I don't wear this, but it smells just like my mom's flower garden in full bloom! It makes me feel all fluffy inside :) A great pick if you love the smell of lillies!

Flower is one of my favorite fragrances. It really does have a rosey smell to it. Really flowery ;) but I like the musky smell to it. A bit strong. One spray and thats all you need. It last long too.

LOVE this perfume! Definately didn't expect this from AVON! They surprice me over and over again! When I wore this the first time my husbanda asked if I got this from MYER (a huge retailer selling Chanel, Estee Lauder, MAC etc in Australia). I said no - it's AVON, but he didn't believe me because it smells so good! lol! It's long lasting, refreshing and the packaging is adorable! Everyone I know loves this and I purchased one for my mother and she is head over heels! ^^ Overall A++++!

This is one of my favorite Avon perfumes. It smells very summery and elegant. It's a little strong though. I love the scent, but it gives me a bit of a headache.

I agree that this is unlike anything else I have smelled before. Lilly is so strong that It evokes a bottled version of fresh wild flowers. This is lovely, a friend wears it well I work with, so well I have ordered myself a bottle, will update after I rec. it. Who knows with my chemistry.. I thought at first it smelled like those big round puffy flowers that are usually blue or purple ?? Not good with flowers..lol.. whatever it is I like it. Pretty and it's different... I think it's pretty strong, I'm sure it lasts a long time as most Avon's do on me... Bottle is so adorable.. Must have it just that reason considering I'm getting it for a steal anyway...

I can't believe this scent is available from Avon. That points to snobbery or ignorance on my part, and I hope it's just the latter. This rivals some of the most expensive green-floral scents I have tried. It reminds me of AG Eau de Camille; I'd love to do a side-by-side comparison. Some reviews online mention spices; I can't smell any whatsoever. It's a light fragrance to my nose, which means it is perfect for warmer/hot weather or else I need to use many sprays. Notes: floral, woods, musk, lily, freesia, cashmere woods, vanilla, musk, sandalwood and violet leaves.

A surprisingly complex scent from Avon. Dark, mossy floral that doesn't smell like your conventional bouquet. Perfect for any time of year, IMHO. Incredible staying power. Wears wonderfully on skin and clothing alike. Packaging is beyond adorable and very unique. Love!

I don't get anything so mystical or dark here (wish I did!). This is a scent for people who like Shabby Chic decor (I do, actually). It's nostalgic, yet modern because it's not powdery (e.g., as in Anais Anais). Here are the notes: "Casablanca Lily, Freesia, Cashmere Woods, Warm Vanilla, Skin Musk, Velvet Woods and Sandalwood." I find it hyper-sweet, perhaps because of the vanilla and skin musk, and these ambiguous "velvet" and "cashmere woods" (whatever they are) that are used in perfumery now, which have a harsh synthetic quality on my skin and make this one a scrubber for me, unfortunately. I bought it on ebay without having tried it first because I fell in the love with the adorable packaging and bottle, and it was really cheap, so no harm done. I wanted to like it because I like the florals in this, but I just can't handle the drydown. I'm giving it a third lippie for the attractive packaging.

I absolutely love this fragrance! I'm not sure what everyone else is complaining about. And actually, the statement made about it smelling like an elfish princess wearing it made me like it even more. I like how unique it is, not your typical floral fragrance. I can't stand powdery smells, they remind me of baby powder. And I don't like my grandma's kind of floral. I also usually prefer men's cologne because they are not cloyingly sweet. This smells more like an actual flower garden to me. Being outside, the fresh air, the smell of flowers, and yes, maybe a little soil. So, here's to smelling like Lady Galadriel!
(I'm really not that big of a nerd....really...)

Feminine but heavy. It gave me a headache and I felt like throwing up a little. I wanted to like it, but it's just not pleasant for me. Cute bottle though.

This is a definitely a fragrance you must try before you buy. The initial floral notes are lovely, but the drydown turned into a mixture of grass and dirt, no floral at all. This smells truly awful on me, and I think it's because it just doesn't work with my chemistry. It lasts all day, which is a huge plus if it smells good on you.
