Avon Pur Blanca - "washing powder" freshness and purity, the legendary fragrance from Avon

I want to tell you about my impressions of Avon - Pur Blanca. I have a classic version of this fragrance, today we will talk about it. My sister presented this fragrance, as she knew that I liked it before. I discovered this perfume for the first time when my piano teacher gave me the catalog with Avon cosmetic products. I leafed through the catalog pages and saw the photo of Pur Blanca bottle with the inscription: "Rub the page and feel the scent."When I did this, it seemed to me that it was just some kind of divine smell, honestly :) In fact, at that time I did not use almost any perfume since my family could not afford to spend money on this kind of thing. Also, my mom rarely used perfume. Therefore, I had nothing to compare.

A little later someone gave my sister and me a small roller bottle of Pur Blanca. When I used it at that time, I got the impression that this is a very delicate, fresh and pleasant scent, just for a young girl. I really liked it and dreamed of a big bottle. Time passed, other wishes appeared, and somehow I forgot about this fragrance.
When last year I received a Pur Blanca as a gift in a large bottle, my impressions of this perfume were already different. Moreover, they become worse gradually with the use of the fragrance.

The design of the bottle

Pur Blanca is also available in the form of a 9 ml roller bottle, ball and spray deodorant, body spray, and body lotion. I especially like how it all looks in the set. It looks so gently, the color of the lotion is pearl, it's very beautiful. 

I did not really like the quality of the 50 ml bottle. Yes, the bottle looks laconic, it really reflects the essence of the fragrance, but overall, it looks flatly. The cap does not fit well with the bottle But the sprayer is good, it sprays liquid in the form of a cloud.

Avon Pur Blanca perfume pyramid

Top notes: white freesia, ylang-ylang, water mint

Middle notes: white rose, white peony, water lily

Base notes: musk, white sandalwood, heliotrope

In my opinion, this is a floral-musky perfume. I fell a strong odor of some white flowers in it, most likely it is freesia and peony, a bit of ylang-ylang and a lot of musk. In the base, there are practically only one powdery musky notes. There are definitely no roses, sandalwood or mint for me in Avon Pur Blanca.

Seasonality. How Avon Pur Blanca sounds at different times of the year

The best time to use Pur Blanca is spring and early fall. According to my notes, in winter this fragrance fades and becomes completely imperceptible. In the summer, in extreme heat, it can choke with its flowery. In spring and early autumn, Pur Blanca will develop in the wind, creating a light delicate sillage.

General impression

For me personally, Pur Blanca in the roller and in the spray bottle are two different scents. In a full bottle, it's a very floral scent. When you spray it on yourself, it feels as if you are spraying washing powder in a dry form. Yes, this perfume has freshness, cleanness, but its freshness is powdery and a little stifling.

The scent disappears very quickly. Pur Blanca quickly reveals all notes and rolls into the musk base, leaving some light powder notes on the body, and that’s all. It lasts longer on clothes, but also barely noticeable. It is difficult to overdo with it, it quickly erodes, it needs to be resprayed periodically. The sillage is short.

Pur Blanca will be appropriate for any age, especially for young girls.

In general, I recommend to try Pur Blanca, if you like the scents of powdery freshness or pronounced floral odors. In addition, it is already a legend and one of the most famous fragrances of the Avon brand.
