About This Perfume
Avon Viva la Vita smells like fresh fruit sorbet, soft rose and sandalwood. It opens with apple, mandarin orange and pink grapefruit, moves into magnolia, mimosa and rose and settles on cashmere wood, sandalwood and vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in spring and summer and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days and the office. Released in 2016.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fruity and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $16.
