It is not too sweet and could work as a man's scent (yes, I know they made a Mesmerize for Men, too, but I mean if that was not available). but within 30 min the sharp notes faded and I started smelling amber,baked apple in the background and resinous notes,later the woodsy notes kicked in and the scent settled down into soft vanilla-wood-amber goodness,you don't get this type of dry-down even with more expensive colognes. I did have Mesmerize and didn’t like much the dry down so I did sell it and kept Viagem Encantada wich is one of my favourites perfumes. I was so happy when I smelled this powdery, amber, incense sweetness, it was just like I remembered.

Update: I had to come back you guys and update to let you know I sprayed this on my wrist at 12:30 pm and its now 12:30am I can still smell it.Quite honestly, if I were given a sample of this and smelled it, not knowing what it was, I would NEVER have guessed it was an Avon product. The real downside is the longevity, on me it's down to mostly sweet traces in a couple hours (though that seems to linger on for a number of hours more). So, if you've seen any of my previous reviews and Fragram posts you've read of my love for Avon's Cotillion cologne. The 1990's was a very, very strange place for Avon fragrances, particularly in the oft-neglected men's side. A scent in between the two would be quite interesting, possibly the best of both worlds, but if you can find a cheap bottle and you like myrrh, I'd say go for it.

After I inhaled slightly sweaty worked out golden brown tanned and life-wretched skin infused with Mesmerize, I was. This isn't a perfume i would wear every day but definitely one to have in the collection as it is truly a very compelling and mystifying scent. It smells very exotic and resinous but It still smells fresh and, it is also powdery in a very good way. Mandarin, petitgrain, and bergamot meets the nose first, like many richer orientals from the late 80's and early 90's, bearing a striking resemblance to Versace L'Homme in these opening moments, but unlike Chanel's Pour Monsieur eau de toilette Concentrée (1989) or Égoïste (1990), this marries a peculiar apple note to the orange, giving an ambrosia feel to the opening just as familiar lavender, cardamom, and nutmeg take up the chorus in the middle. I'm not really a fan of REALLY masculine, run of the mill scents and this one kind of is but at the same time it's got a really nice feel to it.Here's the best part - Mesmerize is a dead ringer for Nautica Latitude Longitude - not kind of like it, not just top notes. This scent remotely resembles me of Ungaro pour Homme II and Minotaure mixed with Zino, although Mesmerize is more citrusy in its topnotes than those mentioned above. Overall, a very nice surprise and a fragrances that could work on men and women, both young and old. After reading the description and the notes, I'd expected something deep, multi-dimensional, maybe oriental - as myrrh, wood and spices might suggest. My ex boyfriend used to wear Mesmermize and it's what I loved most about him so I'm very familiar with the scent.

After spraying it on my arm, I immediately realized that this is the inspiration for Thierry Mugler's A*Men which was released in 1996 to Mesmerize's debut in 1992. com perfumes magazine - All Rights Reserved - do not copy anything without prior written permission.

I think people, especially men, think of obnoxious ladies going door to door and the pyramid scheme that tarnished the brand decades ago. It's a linear and sickeningly sweet perfume, but if you survive the first half an hour, you might find something nice and cozy about it. It has an amazing combination of exotic spices, amber and woody notes yet it is very feminine and mystic. When it was purchased as a gift for valentines, originally about a decade plus five years ago, it was all about the eternal flame of forever being remembered by the one that splash some on before he hit the place that you and him love to visit.

Florals, sandalwoods, award-winning scents and brand-new favourites; our perfume collection has something for every occasion, with men's and women's fragrances from must-have brands. Amber often goes a bit smoky-sweet on me, but this is a vintage blend (layered with the vintage body lotion as well, which I suspect is where the majority of that powder is coming from. It stays with you long after he leaves in a very subtle gently tantalizing the sexy-dream-sleep sequences to follow, kind of experience. This perfume is the same as Viagem Encantada from brazilian brand O Boticario but this later one is more beautiful made and you can smell the quality.The bergamot initially stands out, but is tempered with the slightly sweeter orange and apple and a hint of neroli and white florals. Movement will circulate it, other than that, people have to be close to smell it, and that's perfect. It's Arabic like a perfume found in the collection of a beautiful and exotic royal Arab woman in Dubai. And of course, these suggestive forces are also reflected on a platform such as Parfumo, not least in the number of reviews and statements in addition to the number of ratings: the new releases of certain brands generate countless opinions in the short term, while other current perfumes receive much less or hardly any attention.
