Prima (Dreams)
by Avon
Prima (Dreams) is a soft, feminine fragrance centered around juicy plum, rose, and gentle white florals, with a powdery, musky dry down. It opens with bright bergamot and ripe pear, quickly transitioning into a delicate balance of plum and rose, enhanced by subtle iris and a quiet patchouli note. The dry down features a soft vanilla-musk base, giving it a soothing, vintage elegance. It’s consistently described as light, airily sweet, and slightly nostalgic—reminding many of older perfumes from the 90s or classics like Estée Lauder Beautiful’s dry down. The scent is universally considered feminine and understated, perfect for spring or summer wear, with moderate projection and a pleasing, non-intrusive presence. It’s praised for its refined blending, pleasant texture, and seamless layering potential with other Avon scents or personal favorites.
Pros
- +Delicate and balanced composition with a sweet, powdery rose note that is feminine but not overwhelming.
- +Long-lasting on clothes and skin—often described as lasting through a full day, even through activity.
- +Highly suitable for daily wear, office environments, and layering with other fragrances, with a non-offensive, clean character.
Cons
- −Some users report it fades quickly on skin—especially those sensitive to its drydown notes.
- −The woody cedar and patchouli elements can become overpowering or sharp on certain skin types, though others find them mild.
- −Fruit notes (plum, pear) are faint or lost on some, and the scent can come across as slightly old-fashioned or synthetic to some noses.
