The best avon scent there is! I love this!!! unique and just sweet enough without being overly sweet. The downside is that is does have a slight chemical/artificial smell and the staying power isn't great but it's cheap and really heavenly for an hour or two. Don't get the matching lotion it's really gross and smells plasticy (maybe I just got a bad one).

Definitely fruity with sandalwood and amber. The sandalwood is a sharper sort than I can tolerate, but for the most part the amber damps it down and keeps it tame enough for the fruit elements to ride over the top and shine. Still, the combination is not quite my personality and the sandalwood cheapens it a bit.

First blast of this reminds me a whole lot of Ici, a fragrance I like. It does tone down some (faster than Ici does, actually, which makes it a little more wearable) and the resulting drydown is very pleasant - warm and just the slightest bit heady, but delicious. Mirada is a fragrance that should be worn with a light hand and is probably better suited for the fall and winter months. This is one of Avon's better efforts in the past several years and I'm very impressed with it.

I was so surprised when I received some samples of this and I fell in love. I agree with a lot of others that many of Avon's scents smell the same. With the exception of Imari Seduction, I've never really loved one. Well, until now. This is a beautiful golden warm scent that is unlike Avon's standard. I find some familiar notes in the drydown of this but I absolutely love the top notes of this scent. It's warm, creamy, and unique. The lasting power is okay, I get a 1/2 day out of it with the lotion. I was able to buy the lotion and perfume for $16 which is a steal.

A beautiful blend of berries and amber musk. Love this perfume, has pretty good lasting powder and I would buy it again.

I dislike being the one to bring down a rating on a product, but I always have to tell it like it strikes me. I find this fragrance to be another form of the generic smells Avon has come forth with in recent years! I think it is the musk they have to put in every smell they design! Maybe if they would leave the musk out of this one, I might find it more wearable. I got this in the little purse spray & I am so glad I did rather than spend the $ on the larger bottle. At first spray, I thought, oh wow, this one smells pretty good, but then it dried down to that same 'ole smell that I find in almost every Avon fragrance. I kept smelling my arm hoping it would change over to some other more acceptable phase but nope it just got worse over time.
Over the last several years, being an Avon Rep. for myself only, I can really say, there have been only a few fragrances that hit the books that smell good and do not include this musk! What is up with this Avon? I think I could name them on one hand!
Anyway, if you like musk, you will like this smell. It is very nice on the take off with the different florals.

OH this perfume smells WONDERFUL! I love it sooo much!! It's incredible that I'm in love with a avon fragance, because I use to dislike most of them, but this one is the exception! You have to try it!! If you like the perfume AMOR AMOR by cacharel, you will love mirada by avon, it smells quite similar to the amor amor, but I smell more fruit in it. It's not a fruity fragance, but it sure has a touch of fruit blended with flowers. The fragance is described by avon as a floral oriental infused with wild mango berry, frangipani flowers, exotic jungle orchid and sultry amber musk.
I definetly can smell the wild mango it has, thats the wonderful touch of fruit I can smell in it, and I also can get the frangipani flowers and amber! It is such a beautiful blend! I highly recomend you try it, I think it is ok priced, but I am still waiting for avon to lower the price so I can Stock up! Avon has the bad habit of discontinuing their fragances, so if you like mirada perfume, buy lots of it just in case.

I usually don't like sweet tropical flowers like frangipani, especially mixed with berries. But this eau de toilette from Avon is a nice and wearable!

The sweet flowers and berries soon give way to mid to base notes of amber, vanilla, musk and woods.....a floriental.

The bottle is golden frosted and elegant looking. Th price is very affordable (you can find great buys on eBay from Avon sellers).

Avon's Mirada fragrance has become a new favorite of mine. It is described as a floral/oriental, it is well-balanced. The scents of flowers and the oriental notes are well-combined, no one note overshadows another. It is lasting, but not overpowering. I recommend sampling it--I certainly will repurchase!

Oh wow, this is a brand new fragrance from Avon. Avon describes this fragrance as:

"A voluptuous floral oriental infused with wild mango berry, frangipani flowers, exotic jungle orchid and sultry amber musk. "

The fragrance drydown is its best point. It dries down to a fabulous berry and amber mix. It is great for fall and winter. I love this fragrance.
