When I heard that Reese Witherspoon was working on a fragrance with AVON, I imagined it to be something floral. I look at Reese and I see feminine, confident, and a whole lot of blond hair. For some reason that says “floral” to me.
In Bloom, the fragrance that Witherspoon created with AVON, is a Floral, but it’s warmly grounded with Woody and Oriental notes. The combination makes In Bloom womanly, rather than girly, which I think is a smart choice because it appeals to a much larger audience.

I’m writing with a bit of an AVON theme in mind today.  I covered mineral makeup at Pretty By Nature, then some clearance products at the Bath and Body section. Now I’ve got a few gift sets for some timely pre-holiday shopping.
First on the list is Sweet Honesty. Suited for a young lady, this floral fragrance was created back in 1973. It’s a classic with notes of honey, musk, vanilla, hyacinth, lemon, lily-of-the-valley, and rose. The gift set includes a Cologne Spray, a Perfumed Skin Softener, and a Shimmering Body Powder.

Fans of Patrick “McDreamy” Dempsey will be happy to hear that he will be launching his second AVON fragrance for men in November. Dempsey and AVON teamed up last Summer on the scent Unscripted.
The notes for the new fragrance, called “2,” will be of a woody/fruity blend. They will include; mandarin, nutmeg, spiced wood accord, and patchouli.
People’s StyleWatch has this quote from Patrick Dempsey explaining the fragrance concept:
“It’s about the intimacy of two people and the strength you get in a relationship. I thought, why don’t we just go with ‘2′ and make this about being a couple.”

A few years ago, it seems Avon jumped on the Oil of Olay bandwagon (or maybe Avon was the trailblazer?) and revamped its image. These days, Olay doesn’t immediately make one think of that little pink bottle on grandma’s dresser, and Avon has scored a reputation as a bona fide skincare savant.
With products like Anew Ultimate Age Repair Elixir, it’s easy to see why.
The light-weight serum is like a blanket of silk you cloak around your face and neck before applying your sunscreen or night cream. The elixir is full of something called Sirtuins, which are considered a breakthrough …read more

Fragrance news…. I read at People.com that Reese Witherspoon is developing a fragrance with AVON. The scent, called In Bloom, won’t be available until November.
It’s a Floral with fragrance notes of Gardenia, Magnolia, and Jasmine. Reese wanted her fragrance to reflect both her past and her present. She grew up with a Magnolia tree in the backyard of her childhood home in Tennessee and the name, “In Bloom” is how she feels in her life right now.
“I’m feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. The fragrance truly captures that feeling­­ — it’s very sensual, very …read more
