Which Should You Buy?
A bittersweet symphony for many, Promesse is a much-missed fruity floral that perfectly captured its era. Once a youthful crowd-pleaser, its current inflated price and propensity to turn are a sad reality for those nostalgic for its charm.
Avon Femme is a sparkling, fresh, and delightfully girly floral-fruity that captures a youthful spirit. While it has its admirers who find it a sophisticated and uplifting everyday scent, some find its fleeting nature and generic vibe a bit of a letdown. Nevertheless, for its price point, it's a solid, cheerful choice.

Occasions
