In the Etro Heliotrope general category, only better. This is sweet but light, and has a little subtlety to it. Very versatile--sexy/cuddly, yet completely office-appropriate.

This is a soapy close-to-skin fragrance and I enjoy it. It isn't as sweet or powdery as Angel Face and Doll Face, and is much dryer. It's a clean, fresh, soapy musk, doing a good job of reminding...

While most seem to get the chocolate note first, Noel Blanc opens with an almost harsh, soapy note on me. After a few minutes I begin to detect the white chocolate, and then something else -...

Very creamy egyptian musk. This is a gorgeous skin scent, and take that seriously: it sits very, very close to the skin, buttery sweet and lovely. I find this is a perfect fragrance for those...

Amande Sucre is not as simple or sugary as it sounds. To some the initial blast might smell synthetic--to me it smelled like freshly ground almonds in all its nutty, buttery glory. Then the apricot...

If you're looking for an affordable dupe of Etro Heliotrope, this is one of the 2 best options (the other one being Lagniappe Oaks' Lady Evangeline). I must admit that Lady E has the edge on 2...

Call me a biased gourmandise, but this is one of Ava Luxe's best scents! No wonder she keeps its recipe secret. While her other scents have note-for-note listings, Angel Face's description merely...

One of my favorite scents - it's warm and soft and almondy and gentle. It's what I always turn to when I want to just smell pretty, for me. Absolutely beautiful!

While Keiko Mecheri's Loukhoum does bare some semblance to this, Angel Face is infinitely kinder to the nose. It's not nearly as sharp, nor is it as complex. I have a love/hate relationship with...

I've heard it said that this is a scent reminiscent of Serge Lutens' Rahat Loukhoum. And while I love Rahat so much I'm considering crossing the oceans for a bell jar, Ava Luxe's heliotrope quickly...

I received a sample of this fragrance in a swap and while I normally go for dark or foody scents, this one amazed me. When I went to the AA site to find out about it, I learned that it was...

I don't normally associate White Christmases with white chocolate, but this is one of the most intriguing chocolate scents I've ever sniffed! The choc top note actually smells like the dark...

This starts to really WOW me wet on my skin - vanilla, powder, musk - it's great! Two minutes later I can't find it. Did I put it on? I remember trying it. Hmmm....I'm sniffin'. Coffee beans! Where...

I love a number of Ava-Luxe scents, but this may well tie with Moksha as my favorite. It's certainly one of the most complex, well-developed of Ava-Luxe's scents, at least in my opinion. It's a...

Wow - this is surprisingly good. When I first smelled this, I dismissed it as a boring, musty powdery scent. Not so: yes, it is powdery, but not overwhelming. Also, in some ways its light, almondy...

The beginning is a bit sharp and artificial, but the drydown is quite pleasant: soft almonds on a bed of cream and milk, sweetened with just a touch of apricot. I actually prefer it to more...

Every single note here is overdone, much too sharp, much too synthetic, and just not right. One of my least favorite scents from Ava Luxe (she has some great ones). I actually find this one...

Since I've known my best friend (we met in 1987), she has always used baby powder-scented Secret Deodorant. I found it to be a rather "matronly" scent when we were younger, and I guess I still do,...

Kiehl's Musk Lite. A very good dupe of the classic Kiehl's so-called love juice, only that this one is a bit thinner and less potent than the original. This could be a good "trainer" fragrance for...

Unexceptional egyptian musk, not bad but I have found egyptian musks with more oomph. This one smells a bit thin to me. Nothing special. DSH and Body Time make much better egyptian musks.
