Which Should You Buy?
Elvie is a divisive little number. For some, it's an ethereal, joyful clean floral; for others, a harsh, synthetic lily of the valley bomb that disappears in an instant. Proceed with caution.
Flower by Cynthia Rowley is a divisive floral powerhouse, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a strong, unapologetic lily blast that some find beautiful and others find overwhelming or even 'grannyish'. It's a confident step beyond your typical Avon offering.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and often light projection makes it suitable for everyday wear, particularly casual settings or the office where it won't overwhelm. While some find it romantic for a date, its casual versatility shines. The poor longevity reported by many users means it requires reapplication, which might be a faff for formal events.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and impressive longevity, Flower is best suited for scenarios where a pronounced floral statement is appreciated, like a date or a spring casual outing. It might be too intense for an office setting unless applied very sparingly, and formal events could be a hit or miss depending on personal preference. It's definitely not for sport due to its heavy floral nature.
