Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Be The Legend
A divisive little number, with some loving the sweet leather and others wishing it had less fruit, more oomph. It's a nice easy-wear, but don't expect it to blow anyone away; it’s a solid cheapie with good performance for the price.
Statement
Our Verdict - Black Suede Secret
This one's a solid effort from Avon, offering more depth than some of its Black Suede siblings. It's a nice, soft leather with a touch of sweetness, though don't expect it to shout; it's a quiet charmer, if a bit performance-shy.

Be The Legend

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

With its moderate projection and decent longevity, this scent is versatile enough for casual wear and might even sneak into a relaxed date night. It's too sweet and casual for formal events, and while some mention gym use, the warm accords aren't ideal for vigorous exercise.

Spring Autumn Winter
