Hot one... [reviewing Attraction Instinct edp, by Avon]

An ambery floral fragrance filled with red-hot aphrodisiac ingredients...

Dare to feel and seize the moment with Attraction Instinct, a bold and captivating fragrance, filled with red-hot aphrodisiac ingredients, designed to ignite desire.

This intoxicating scent blends primal energy with refined elegance, creating an irresistible aura that lingers long after you’ve left the room.

I've enjoyed both of the Attraction flankers I've bought blind so far 

The patchouli is instantly present and it wears thoughout the fragrance, so if you like this note or not is a deal breaker for if you'll enjoy Instint or not - I used to really dislike it, but as I've gotten older I've come to really enjoy the warmth & earthy edge it brings out in fragrances. The fruit & chilli pepper are also immediately identifiable and they meld together in a jammy way, which contrasts nicely against the earthy edge of the patchouli. 

What are Impulse molecules? I've no idea, but I'm getting musk, rose & something along the lines of magnolia behind the jasmine, patchouli and chilli/strawberry jam. The red orchid accord is vanilla-like and slightly nutty to my nose. As the florals develop & the pear fades, the strawberry becomes more noticeable on me, which I really enjoy. 

Again I'm not sure what the fantasy notes are supposed to be as we head towards the base; the patchouli gradually becomes stronger, there is something balsamic behind sandalwood and the musk warms up. The ever present chilli jam & patchouli blend keeps everything hot and earthy/spicy sweet. 

Officially listed scent notes: Strawberry, Jasmine, Pear, Red Orchid, Patchouli Oil, Impulse Molecules, Salty Vanilla, Akigalawood™, and Cistus Absolute.

The longevity and projection are both excellent for such an affordable edp; 8/9 hour average weartime, with moderate projection that gradually softens, but never becomes a skin-scent. 

This is the third Attraction fragrance I've bought blind and it's the third one I've been highly impressed with. It's a superb 'everyday' choice for autumn and winter, that also works for evening/special occasions - a bit too much for the warmer months. This is still something that I highly recommend trying 👌 

You can buy Attraction Instinct from the Avon website, Avon catalogues, Amazon, and some Superdrug stores also stock it. 

The 50ml bottle is £16, the 125ml scented lotion tube is £4, and the 10ml perfume pen is £7.
