About This Perfume
Think Bright grapefruit and pear over cool water: that is Avon Wish of Happiness. It opens with pink grapefruit, moves into pear and lemon and settles on neroli. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days, the office and the gym. Released in 2008.
Wearers report that it fades within a few hours, and stays close to the skin. Plan to reapply on a long day.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: citrus is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you want one spray to last all day.
Around $60.
