Among the perfumes from the category of mass market, as it turned out, there are instances that may well qualify for the title of legend. Such turned out to be the perfume “Pur Blanca” from the well-known manufacturer AVON. They were often advertised, they scattered from the pages of catalogs in a huge circulation, the fragrance was chosen by both ordinary people and celebrities. The time has come for us to remember what old and good women’s perfumes of Pur Blanca can tell and whether it is worth returning to them after a long time.
About the manufacturer
Few people realize that the now-famous Avon company with its more than affordable goods was founded in the USA in 1886. And the first copies that were produced under this name were perfumes. Small inserts with the so-called "probes" were then invested in women's novels, which flew off store shelves with lightning speed, and the women who found them were already beginning to be interested not only in books. Throughout the twentieth century, Avon produced perfumes, cosmetics and even household goods. All this was delivered to South America, Europe and the East, bringing huge revenue. The brand came to our homeland already at the age of more than 100 years - in 1995. It was in those 90s and early 2000s distant for us perfumes from the treasured AVON that was the most luxurious, unique and desirable. Many favorite fragrances came out, which were acquired by both ordinary people and show business stars, actively advertising them. Pur Blanca perfumes, which will be discussed now, are no exception.
Fragrance Overview
Pur Blanca perfumes from Avon were first developed and released in 2003. This smell is positioned as floral, but there are definitely watery notes and a certain mysterious cold shade, either steel or leather. Perfumes were released for women, with no specific orientation on age. They are universal - suitable for everyone, without exception. Since the fragrance was first produced, it has not been re-released, so the composition remains the same.
The notes that make up the perfume
Perfume Blanca perfume was created for the Avon brand by perfumer Harry Fremont. His name is not as loud as that of those creators who produce masterpieces for famous fashion houses, but he became famous as the creator of the most non-standard, delicate and elusive aromas. Pur Blanca also became such, and now we will take a closer look at the composition, which is enclosed in the bottle.
- Initial notes: ylang-ylang, water mint, white freesia.
- Heart notes: peony, water lily, white rose.
- Base accord: white sandalwood, musk, heliotrope.
As we see, these are literally white perfumes. "Pur Blanca" - the embodiment of freshness, tenderness, fragility and inaccessibility. Each note contains purity and whiteness, but with all this, the aroma has its own unique and elusive character.
Resistance and loop
Many of us believe that if the aroma is fresh, light, watery, then its durability, and even more so the plume, will be minimal or simply invisible. This is supposedly water or a freshener for the body, which will delight the sense of smell for only an hour. But things are fundamentally different in the case of Pur Blanca. Perfumes that are filled with notes of freshness and lightness stay on the skin for 5-6 hours. On clothes they remain almost until washing, the collar of a coat or fur coat will be fragrant for a week or two. As for the train, it is special in this fragrance. The smell does not reach for its owner, does not remain in the room after she leaves, but at the moment of her presence envelops everything and everyone. Surrounding Pur Blanca are able to conquer the smell of fresh flowers, the presence of musk and sandalwood in their pyramid, peppermint peppermint and burden of ylang-ylang.
Relevance
And here again, we are faced with stereotypes and mistakes that many make because of them. If the aroma is fresh and light - it means summer and daytime. Only here "Pur Blanca" is much more relevant "worn" in the winter and spring. Since the smell is incredibly cold and fresh, it is in perfect harmony with winter frosts, with snowfall, as well as with spring showers and coolness. Experts note that these perfumes are universal. But at the same time, users declare that at each separate time of the year the Pur Blanca is revealed in its own way, individually and uniquely. The same goes for the time of day. You can wear perfumes in the office or at school, but no less tempting they will be in harmony with the evening toilets.
Associations
We decided to collect impressions and associations based on reviews of the Per Blanca perfume. And the fact that almost all the girls who used this perfume at least once in their life have similar images and impressions suggests that the smell is really individual, unique and distinctive.
- If you first heard of perfume in the spring, then for sure they will forever become your symbol of March 8, the first warm days, cool breeze and flowers. In spring, Pur Blanca opens up as the most delicate bouquet.
- For those who first became acquainted with the aroma in the summer, it has become a symbol of freshness and lightness, which is so lacking on a hot and sultry day. "Pur Blanca" refreshes, gives lightness and captivates with its impregnability.
- For autumn, the fragrance is considered the least suitable, since it is cold, and at such a time you want something warm. Nevertheless, if the window is raining, the sky is gray, and you are looking for something original, then any image will complement the Pur Blanca.
- Winter is the most relevant time for these enchanting spirits. Cold notes, inaccessibility, freshness, lightness, whiteness - all this is best combined with a snowy and frosty period. Pur Blanca is reminiscent of the New Year for many people, pre-holiday chores and explosions of crackers.
Vial history
Throughout its existence, the perfumes of Pur Blanca several times changed their appearance. Initially, the fragrance was released in a simple round-shaped bottle with a gray cap. Most likely, the manufacturer wanted to create a retro-style packaging, because the spirits of the Soviet era were stored in similar bubbles. After some time, it was decided to "transfer" perfume into a more modern bottle. The design was also simple, but at the same time unique and tasteful. Spirits are dressed in a tall slender flask, which seems to be stretched up. It has one sharp side, but the rest of it is rounded. The top of the bottle is crowned with a beveled snow-white cap.
We also note that in the New Year period once the perfumes of Pur Blanca were released in a bottle in the shape of a rectangle. They could be purchased as a gift.
Negative aspects
Despite the fact that this legendary fragrance in its entire history has gathered billions of fans around the world, it also contains negative moments that are discovered not only by opponents, but also by adherents. To begin with, remember that Pur Blanca is a budget fragrance that belongs to the mass market category. So, his bewitching composition is bonded with a large amount of alcohol. The smell of this substance often interferes with the use and full enjoyment of perfumes. For the same reason, during the hot season, Pur Blanca can cause dizziness and slight nausea - an excess of alcohol makes itself felt.
Another disadvantage of perfume can be considered its excessive prevalence. It is very recognizable, it is used by millions, it can be found on the street, in the subway and in many other public places.
Terms of use
Looking at the photos of Pur Blanca perfumes and reading their description, I immediately want to wrap myself in this “cold shawl” literally completely, from head to toe. But this is not worth doing for some reason. As we have said, the smell of alcohol predominates in perfumes. Therefore, applying them to, so to speak, the upper parts of the body, you "suffocate" yourself and others. Try to spray the Pur Blanca as low as possible. This may be the area under the knees, hips, stomach. You can also apply a small amount of perfume on the ankles. The aroma will rise and open, losing its alcohol shell along the way.
Pur Blanca perfume from Avon. Reviews
Most of the women who at one time or another came across this fragrance were struck by the uniqueness of this composition. The smell itself is really unique, very unusual, at the same time fresh, light and cold, at the same time slightly painful and mysterious, surreal and everyday. But the fact that there is more alcohol in the bottle than aroma bothers many.
The reviews also provide an opportunity to understand that for Pur Blanca, age is nothing. It will be perfectly revealed both on a young girl and on a mature woman. The aroma in its own way will present any age, create a unique aura and mood. It is festive and everyday, light and memorable, cold and very unusual.
