Pro Vibe
Avon

One of the most puzzling olfactory presents i ever got: smells at the same time nice and vile, therefore the definition of the neutal scent. Like an improved andf more nightlife oriented version of the poor lasting power synthteic Pro Sport. It has a certain edible note and if it were not for the cheap character of this very note, it would certainly smell more credible and refined. Clearly youthful, but not only fresh, i'd rather say it has a certain note of dark exoticism, but strangely crafted in a generic teenybopper way. It makes me feel younger than my real age and i guess this is truly the best for those hitting puberty without much knowledge of scent ( either i'm well over that or never was like that in the first place ). Actually, it starts off very spicy and almost virile in a stylish way, but devolves and sinks into a hopeless, unilateral accord of showergel, cocoa beans and caramelized sugar, only sweeter and more synthetic, more flat and boring than these indgredients could ever smell. Younger buyers would congratulate me for owning this, telling me that girls will truly like to eat me up like a candy or take over me violently- but never be fooled: the lasting power is so low that it is barely smelled by its wearer after only few minutes, not to mention anyone else so the girl will not even have the opportunity to know him and even less to seduce him. The other great cathegory of fragrance fans, the conservative wearers of niche, boutique and independent, the faithful customers of Creed, Lutens and AdP ( to whom i feel closer than to the first ), will most lkely advice me the opposite, to avoid this one swiftly and mercilessly: tough even they might suprisingly have a very short and intense revelation ( but no lasting relationship ) with this one, as completely new and uncommen experience, as deliberate cross-dreessing and unaccessorizing, as memory from a different and never truly lived life of preteen and teen trendiness. Basically, it's just like the many " black ", " dark" or " night " versions of most 15-20 year old wearer's scents but without the quality, lasting power and more expensive ingredients some of this fairly good fragrance houses ( Boss, Paco Rabanne, CK, Emporio Armani and so on ... ) are using. But it also has the potential to create a cult following as it is not entirely vile and badly crafted, as it also has some plesant sides.
