Venus Sands
Ava Luxe

This one is smooth vanilla and coconut, sweet, sunny tropical fragrance, and a happy vacation on the beach. It goes as far as possible in the opposite direction from Midnight Violet, which is dark, earthy, serious, and sensuous. Pleasing, pretty, but not a bold statement-maker.

Smells like suntan lotion. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of big coconut and white flowers. All in all, not for me.

If this was a song, it would be Cococabana. It starts with a deliciously tropical blast of coconut and tropical flowers. I definitely smell gardenia. As this dries down, I get an impression of vanilla. It's soft and not overly sweet, with a touch of something musky at the base. It's like a holiday on my skin.

Tropical flowers with a woody/musky base. Makes you feel like you're on a tropical island, sipping a coconut cocktail, surrounded by flowers--and someone is smoking a pipe of sweet tobacco somewhere close by. Really comes together as it dries down. I'd wear it on a beach vacation.
